Corporate
Relocation Services

Services has the resources to meet your corporate relocation needs.
Our full-time staff of 20 relocation professionals is trained to give

of the World (the premier independent real estate network in the nation)
we are able to help your corporation or small business with its relocation

We
provide a full range of relocation and corporate services. A relocation
program can be custom designed to meet your business's individual needs

Relocation
services are provided through the Relocation Center. Our goal is to
offer a "one stop" resource for relocating individuals and
transferring employees, making the move easier for everyone involved.
While clients are primarily counseled via phone or e-mail, we welcome
their visits to the Relocation Center's Resource Room and encourage
them to take advantage of the many tools available to make their move
easier.
Allen
Tate Relocation offers the following services:
Corporate
Relocation Policy Development
One
of the key factors in reducing the stress associated with a corporate
transfer is having a specific and concrete policy pertaining to relocation
activity. For our corporate clients, Tate Relocation can review current
relocation policy and make suggestions for revisions, or help develop
a relocation policy to fit their needs.
We
believe no company is too small for a relocation policy. If your company
does not currently have a formal relocation policy, we'll work one-on-one
with you to develop a policy appropriate to the volume of relocation
activity seen by your company on an annual basis. This policy would
include all facets of relocation from transportation of household goods
to selling the departure area property to selecting a new residence
in the destination location. It would outline all the policies and benefits
provided to employees.
Counseling
Transferees
A dedicated relocation counselor will be assigned to each of your employees.
The level of quality, one-on-one contact between our staff and transferring
employees is what truly sets Tate Relocation apart from other relocation
companies in the nation. Most members of the Relocation staff have relocated
at least once themselves and can thus empathize with all aspects of
the move. Between personal experience and the experience of moving thousands
of people over the years, there is seldom a situation your transferring
employees may encounter that we have not already faced.
Once
the counselor has conducted a needs analysis with a transferee, we will
select the best-qualified Realtor to work with the transferee. The counselor
remains in contact with the employee throughout the home buying and
relocation process, acting as an advocate and assisting with all the
details. Counseling assistance for transferees is available after hours
and on weekends.
Relocation
Packets
Allen Tate Relocation provides customized relocation packets to each
employee who is offered the opportunity to relocate. These packets contain
information about the area where the employee would be transferred.
For example, if the employee is moving to this area, information is
provided on the entire region. Each transferee receives the Navigator
Magazine, a newcomer's guide exclusive to Allen Tate. This magazine
features information on the area, including golf courses, public and
private schools, colleges and universities, houses of worship and area
employers for trailing spouses. It also includes tax information, how
and where to get a driver's license, attractions in each county, special
events and health care. Similar information is provided on any area
to which an employee is transferring nationwide.
Home
Finding Assistance
Homefinding assistance and area counseling are valuable services designed
to ease the uncertainty of purchasing a home in an unfamiliar city within
the time constraints of relocation. Narrowing down housing options and
previewing area information are essential steps in making the most of
a productive home search trip.
Relocation
counselors develop personal home search information based on lifestyle
needs and preferences for each relocating employee. Home finding assistance
includes:
-
Selecting a highly skilled real estate agent in the area
-
Providing information about local real estate markets
-
Advising of a home's appeal and future salability
-
Mortgage financing pre-qualification and establishing the employee's
price range
The
Relocation staff monitors the entire home finding process. If our clients
encounter any obstacles during the home finding process, there is always
someone to whom they can turn, right up through closing.
Rental
Assistance
Our counselors also assist your employees with their rental needs. The
Center has a full-time rental assistance counselor who will help find
the perfect apartment at the best price and inform clients about which
apartments are offering discounts or special incentives.
Temporary
Living
The Relocation Center also assists our clients with their temporary
housing needs. The counselor can determine the availability of temporary
housing and find the best price.
Tate
Relocation has developed relationships with several corporate rental
providers to offer a variety of options. Corporate rentals are driven
by options such as location, services provided, time frame of stay,
furnishing needs, etc. Because we have a full-time staff member dedicated
to staying on top of industry fluctuations, we're able to provide the
most competitive options.
Marketing
Assistance
Tate Relocation is a full-service, third party company offering marketing
assistance to relocating homeowners to help sell their property. The
employee's relocation counselor will assist in selecting an agent who
will provide a free competitive market analysis, and advertise, market
and list their property. The counselor remains involved in the process
until the property is sold and closed, assisting with marketing strategies
and ensuring services are delivered.
The
marketing assistance program is extremely helpful for employees faced
with the time constraints of relocation. Your employees benefit from
our professional counseling, pricing recommendations and documented
marketing strategies that help maximize marketing efforts and facilitate
a timely sale.
Household
Goods Shipment
The most personal, and sometimes emotional, aspect of a relocation is
the movement of personal possessions-family heirlooms, prized art, irreplaceable
photographs, the children's favorite toys. It is crucial that this part
of the relocation process be a seamless transition from the old location
to the new home.
Tate
Relocation can alleviate your corporate administrative responsibility
and therefore reduce your costs significantly. Your dedicated counselor
will provide your employees with a detailed explanation of your Household
Goods Carrier Management Program and review your corporate policy and
guidelines. Employees will be able to communicate with us regarding
any questions they may have about their move.
