Relocation Specialists'
Servo America's
Corporate Transferees
American industry has spaw-
ned a generation of corporate
gypsies. And this mobile gene-
ration in turn has created a need
for a new kind of real estate
talent: The relocation special-
ist.
“Today’s Realtor has to do
more than list houses for sale,
advertise them and hope to
conclude sales when prospects
show up,” says Bud Wise, Rea-
ltor, who represents Inter-City
Relocation Service, Inc., in In-
gleside, and Aransas Pass.
“Ten million families a year
— 37 million persons --change
residences each year, accord-
ing to Census Bureau figures,”
Wise said. With a million uproo-
ted because the family head
has been transferred by his
compnay, it is obvious they need
a comprehensive relocation
service. It is not enough for
us merely to sell real estate.”
“Of the emotional upheaval
in moving from one city to ano-
ther, the most traumatic ex-
perience can be worry about
housing,” Bud Wise pointed out.
‘‘This concern comes in two
packages: Will a transferred
family be able to sell its for-
mer residence quickly, without
excessive financial loss? Will
they be able to move into a suit-
able new home without exasper-
ating delays?”
Inter-City Re location Service,
now the nation’s leading not-
for-profit real estate referral
organization, was established
by Realtors in 1960 to help
answer both of these questions.
“Inter-City’s program is de-
signed to reduce worry and pro-
blems at both ends of a move,”
Wise said. “Our members work
closely with corporate manage-
ments. The latter increasingly
have realized that a transfer-
ee’s performance on a new job
assignment can be hampered
if he -- or his wife -- is
worried about housing prob-
lems.”
The program is based on care-
fully trained relocation special-
ists and prompt attention to de-
tails. In the more than 4,300
cities and towns across the na-
tion where carefully selected
Realtors provide Inter-City re-
presentation, an initial call by
an about-to-be transferred
client sets off a chain reaction
of activity.
First, the house from which
the client must soon move is
given a fair market appraisal
and listed for sale. At the same
time, detailed information is
obtained about the make-up of
the transferred family and what
it seeks in a new home. Price
range, size and architecture
of a desired home — as well
as church preference, type of
area desired, school require-
ments and even style of the fa-
mily’s furniture — are con-
sidered. These details are then
referred immediately to an In-
ter-City member in the desti-
nation city so candidate homes
can be selected from available
properties there.
“Prompt communication is
imperative,” Wise said. “When
a member receives a referral
he is obligated to telephone
his incoming client within 24
hours. He follows up this initial
contact by letter, enclosing lo-
cal information, maps and pic-
tures and descriptions of homes
he feels meet a family’s requi-
rements.
“The receiving Realtor will
make travel and hotel or motel
reservations, and meet clients
on their arrival,” Wise explai-
ned. “One of our members,
unable to obtain lodging for a
family, hosted his new clients
in his home while they looked
for one of their own.”
Wise pointed out that Inter-
City members’ familiarity with
the transferee real estate mar-
ket is an advantage to seller and
buyer.
“As relocation specialists,
Inter-City members work with
many large corporations who
transfer personnel regularly,”
Wise said. “They often have
advance information on incom-
ing transferees -- through both
corporate sources and referr-
als from other Inter-City mem-
bers. These leads represent
sure buyers --primeprospects
for the purchase of homes.
“Similarly, through their
work with transferred person-
nel, Inter-City Realtors know
who is moving — when and
where,” Wise added. “Fre-
quently, they know of property
that will be for sale even be-
fore the owner has announced
he is moving.”
Inter-City’s work with cor-
porations goes a step further.
Through affiliation with POT-
ERE, Inc. (Purchase of Trans-
ferred Employee Real Estate),
Inter-City members can help
companies arrange custom-
