 Susan Greetings!
Happy Halloween!
 
It's that time of the year when ghosts and goblins are all around us.  Is the cost of relocation scaring you?  Are your inventory properties haunting you?  Don't fear the unknown. Read below for an innovative approach to this "blood-curdling" problem.
 
                                              Sincerely,

What's it Worth?         Dollar Sign
 
 
What's it worth to know how much your next employee relocation is really going to cost?
 
What's it worth to know what it will take to sell a property that is languishing on the market?
 
What's it worth to have your next relocation void of unexpected surprises?
 
It's too late to act judiciously if you learn the true cost of a relocation after your employee has been moved into temporary living and has purchased a new home; only to find out they cannot close until they have sold their current home that is not worth what they paid for it a year ago. 
 
Wouldn't you, and your employee, be better off knowing the cost reality before the commitment to transfer is made?  The way to do that is by conducting an in-depth cost analysis. Considerations would include the state of of the local real estate market, the marketability and value of the employee's home, the cost of repairs and/or improvements, mortgage balance(s) and home equity loans, in addition to, recommended incentives and their cost.  NRI can provide this analysis as well as an estimate of the cost of household goods, temporary living, and new home purchase expenses for a complete cost evaluation of an individual move*.
 
Armed with this information you will be able to determine your risk and proactively budget for the relocation.  What if the risk is too great?  We'll explore the options with you and make recommendations for alternative solutions.  Even though providing you with exceptional relocation services is our bread and butter, our job is to develop a strategy that works best for you.  You can rely on us for our honest opinions, and in this economy, reliable information is priceless.
 
Don't be surprised again by an unexpected loss on sale and a home that takes years to sell.  Determine the risk before you make the next offer.  If you are considering relocating an employee but are frightened by the unknown, or already have a home in inventory, or a transfer that is stalled because the home has not sold, contact NRI to conduct a comprehensive cost evaluation complete with solid recommendations to limit your financial exposure. 
 
*Various levels of analysis are available based on your objectives.

Turning Vacant Homes into Valued Homes 

Vacant homes can be cold and uninviting, every small defect is accentuated, often giving the impression that the home needs work or is available for a bargain.  Tastefully decorated homes, on the other hand, not only look warmer but sell faster and for more money.  Showhomes has been staging and marketing homes for over 20 years by placing carefully screened home managers in vacant properties to bring life to the home. 

Just one of the many marketing techniques NRI employs to sell properties.  Ask your consultant for more information today.
