How is a relocation specialist r/e agent different from a standard agent?
I am moving to a new city in a short amount of time. I need to find temporary living and then will be in search of buying a home. Should I expect either type of agent to help me find temporary housing for my family? What should I expect out of my real estate agent throughout my move?
Looking for a ski-in/out chalet or Mont Tremblant Condo with Hot tubs and Pools? Try the the luxury Panache Mont Tremblant or Tremblant resort condos like the convenient Equinox Mont Tremblant or featuring the Bondurant Mont Tremblant.

A relo specialist is one who has the experience to anticipate your needs.
They should already have been asking questions about where you will be working?
How far do you want to drive to work?
Are you concerned about particular schools or needs for the family?
What is your lifestyle like now?
What do expect to change as you move?
Are the kids involved in extra curricular activities? Soccer? Scouts etc and be able to get you information on everything. Simply everything. They should be able to give you e-mails of current listings now! and links to sites on every single thing you have already discussed and perhaps some you haven’t. You should already have local maps of the area, information on schools and their offerings perhaps comparisons. If you have children it matters? Ask about the increase and decrease of prices of homes in the area. They should be wise enough to ask you”How long do you plan to stay in this property?” It gives them an idea on types of financing that you should consider or not. They should be able to help with various lenders etc. If your company is relocating you they should know enough to ask what the company might be doing to help with the move. There are short term housing companies almost all over the country now and they should be able to get you situated quickly and understand your need to get comfortable before making a big decision. This may seem to ramble but, there is so much. Good luck and be patient with yourselves as you take on this new step in your life!
