Transition Tips

·   If youre seriously contemplating relocating for a new job, find out as much as possible about the new area, BEFORE you say yes and sign on the dotted line. Request a detailed cost of living analysis, providing a comprehensive study of various cost differentials between your origin and destination locations.

·   Dont be shy about asking about what kind of relocation package your new company offers. Do they provide comprehensive relocation counseling for you and your family, or do they just arm you with a map and point you to their favorite real estate broker? Personal, one-on-one assistance provided by a relocation specialist is a critical resource.

·   Home marketing assistance, or, ideally, home disposition service, is also important. What happens if the family is all set to move but you cant find a buyer for your old home?

·   Determine whether transitional housing is provided and, if so, for how long? Is it roomy enough to allow the family to stay on house hunting trips, or will you have to foot the bill for the cost of a hotel?

·   Find out exactly what will be covered under your new companys relocation policy. How much is allowed for the actual move – will it adequately cover moving the size of your household, will the moving company pack and unpack
for you, and how about temporary storage if you dont find a new home by the time youve sold the old one?

·   Dont underestimate the impact of the enormity of details involved in a move. What about employment counseling for your spouse? Will you need assistance in locating a specific type of neighborhood or school, child or elder care, bank and insurance assistance, vehicle registration, or pet services? Ideally, a personalized single source relocation resource will be provided to insure a seamless transition.
