Relocation Recommendations: Real Estate

Relocation, and global mobility, continues to be a vital component of societal growth. In an increasingly inter-connected world, companies can expand their talent search beyond traditional borders to find the right fit. Individuals and families seek new opportunities and experiences to enhance their way of life. Governments push to incentivise in-bound investment to bolster their economic growth and drive innovation. These key factors have ensured that relocation remains a crucial industry in the era of globalisation. Enlisting the assistance of a relocation company is obviously highly essential in terms of immigration requirements and visa services, but it can be very helpful in avoiding other issues as well. In this series we take a look at how expert advice can be important in unforeseen ways, starting with real estate.

The Importance of Finding the Right Home

When moving to a new country, finding the right home is key for both the individual assignee and the employer. Having invested in talent and skills, companies want to ensure the onboarding process is as smooth as possible and that their new hire is comfortable enough for the long-term. The right home and location can be hugely influential on an employee’s wellbeing and enjoyment of their role, not to mention their performance. The quality of the apartment, its commuting distance and surrounding community can all impact how the assignee feels about their move and their desire to stay.  When an assignee feels comfortable, they are more likely to produce better results.

The Benefits of Expert Support

Given how pivotal the new home is to an employee’s performance and engagement, it should be a no-brainer that utilising expert help can make all the difference. At EER we know how much the right home can shape an assignees experience, which is why we have ensured our team is able to provide expert advice and guidance when it comes to real estate. As well as offering a range of new virtual services to aid incoming talent, there are other key benefits to getting knowledgeable and experienced help in any relocation real estate search. Experts will help you to:

• Explore up to date information. With an expert relocation professional you can be assured of getting the most up to date information regarding property pricing, available units and market trends. They can provide trusted data, reliable comparisons and answer any questions.
• Find the best deal. Working with the best, means you can get the best deals. Those in the know will be able to share new listings, unique prices and good offers that might not be public knowledge. By getting to know the specific requirements, they can make recommendations that suit the needs of the assignee and come with the most cost effective price tag.
• Get to know the area. Knowing key details about the surrounding environment of the property can be key in decision making. From the facilities to schools, retail outlets to atmosphere, on-the-ground information will help assignees find the right fit. Perhaps they are looking for somewhere with lots of community events and farmers markets, perhaps a city-centre pad in the heart of the action, perhaps somewhere close to the office or the beach or perhaps they need somewhere close by to a great school?
• Avoid the pitfalls. Real estate can be a complex endeavour no matter where you are, but when conducting rentals or sales in a new location, it is even more important to be able to rely on expert advice that will ensure you avoid any issues with requirements or paperwork.
