What Home Selling / Home Finding Services Can You Offer My Employees?

Our array of home marketing programs helps your relocating employees sell or buy homes quickly and efficiently, anywhere in the United States. Your partnership with CBBain and CBSeal will further enhance your company’s own relocation policy and maximize your transferees’ home purchasing/home selling opportunities.

• Employees are teamed with realtors who are relocation-certified, trained and specialize in assisting with the specific home-buying needs of relocating employees.
• We partner with corporate clients to maximize your recruiting efforts with home purchase benefits.
• Relocating employees, who purchase homes in our market area, are offered a closing cost benefit in the form of a credit at closing, free home appraisal, and closing services discounts. (These benefits apply only when working with our real estate, mortgage and escrow partners, where applicable.)

Can You Help Employees Prepare For Their Move?

Before your employee moves, our relocation account managers simplify the decision-making that moving to a new area demands. We provide area relocation counseling to help assess housing needs and lifestyle preferences. Our complimentary relocation packet contains a wealth of community, school, recreation, housing, tax, and cost-of-living information for your transferee.

Can You Help Our Transferees Get To Know The Area?

Our Realtors provide customized area orientation tours, designed to fit the needs of your transferees and candidates. Orientation tours provide an opportunity to view neighborhoods, schools and to get a sense of the community’s cultural and leisure activities. While the orientation tour does address housing and rental costs, the focus of the tour is broader with more emphasis on community and quality of life. We act as your transferees’ personal tour guide of the Puget Sound Regions.

How Can You Assist Our Recruitment Efforts?

As your partner, we will help you to “sell” potential employees on the Pacific Northwest lifestyle. We understand the importance of easing candidates’ anxiety about a potential relocation. That’s why our relocation account manager will share with you, the candidates’ impression and concerns within 24 hours after an area orientation tour.
