Relocation Services
Simplifying the Relocation Process - Power Tools for Relocation
Relocation can be a major hurdle in the recruitment and hiring process. The expense and stress of relocating can prevent you from getting the candidates you want. To reduce the impediments associated with relocating candidates, and for the purpose of identifying these impediments early, we offer a suite of value-added relocation services.
Cost-of-Living Analysis/City Profile. We use current profiles of more that 700 U.S. and Canadian cities to determine the net effect that relocation will have on an employee's income. Profile information includes cost-of-living indices, housing and rental information, weather, population, taxes, crime rates, health care, elder care, day care, education information and much more.
VIP Community Tours During First Interviews. For the purpose of assessing relocation viability and compatibility early in the recruitment process, our partners can meet candidates in the target city during first interviews, to conduct community tours. In this way, candidates quickly measure community fit, relocation logistics and transition costs against their family and lifestyle needs.
Home Marketing. To help sell a new employee's home, our MRINetwork™ corporate home marketing service accurately matches and selects top real estate agents to work with each employee. Agents develop a comprehensive market review, marketing plan and other professional information and support to sell homes quickly and efficiently.
Home Finding. This service matches the new employee's desired home and community characteristics with similar attributes in the new area. Elements include phone counseling, personalized area information kits, area orientation, VIP community tours, counseling and referral services for childcare, elder care and spousal employment.
Special Mortgage Services. Employees receive special VIP access to leading national lenders, a dedicated team of mortgage counselors, preferred rates, closing cost savings, liberal qualifying ratios, credit for accompanying spouse income, free pre-qualification letter and a quick loan decision.
Reduced Moving Costs. Through a special move-management program, you benefit from special savings and discounts negotiated with the country's leading van lines. These include more than a 50% reduction (from full tariff rates) on all interstate moves, free insurance/valuation, discounted storage services, waived peak season charges and special rates for cars.
Home Buy-out Programs/Expense Tracking. MRINetwork offers end-to-end closing services for nominal fees, including a guaranteed purchase offer, amended value sale and buyer value option. In addition, this service manages the expense payout and reimbursement function, including report auditing, data entry, payroll department interface and more.
