Moving house for any reason is high on the top ten list for inducing stress.  Being able to CHOOSE the REALTOR® you work with can go a long way to reducing that stress.  Corporate Relocation companies know this, and although they typically don't proactively suggest it, they all have a mechanism in place to allow the transferee to CHOOSE the REALTOR® to assist them with their Corporate Relocation.

Here's how it works.

Relocation companies receive a referral fee from the Broker or Brokers assigned by the Relocation company to assist the "corporate relocatee" with the purchase of a home at their destination, or with the sale of their current home at their point of origin.

As long as the REALTOR® you want to work with agrees to the referral fee to the Relocation company, the Relocation company is perfectly happy to allow you to make that choice.  They will talk with the chosen REALTOR® to ensure the REALTOR® has sufficient experience and competence to successfully assist you, but beyond that, it's smooth sailing.

As it almost always is, it's about the money.  The referral fee paid by the Broker is part of the corporate relocation package financial equation.  So - if you are about to embark on a Corporate Relocation, and have a REALTOR® that you want to work with (for sale or purchase), advise your Relocation Counselor.  The Relocation Counselor wants to make your move as smooth and stress free as possible.
