RELOCATION: STEP BY STEP Have an open and honest conversation with your Relocation Agent. Be upfront about any credit issues, concerns or things that might affect your ability to rent or buy an apartment. This will allow him or her to make the necessary adjustments to your search, anticipate any obstacles, and find the solutions necessary to ensure you find the best housing possible. Make a list of apartment criteria. This should include “must haves” and “want to haves” as well as some neighborhoods you might be interested in. Your Relocation Agent can help guide you in the right direction based on your commute and budget. Schedule an appointment with your Relocation Specialist. This will be the time when you will go see apartments based on your criteria. Once you have found your apartment, your Relocation Agent will work to secure the property, submit your paperwork and handle any necessary negotiations. Notify the necessary bureaus and companies of your move. The following companies will need your change of address: • Post Office • Insurance companies (life, homeowners, health, auto) • Local credit bureau and creditors • Financial institutions (savings, loans, checking accounts, or stock) • Magazines (obtain change-of-address cards from the Post Office for free) • Clubs or associations (athletic, medical, hobby) • Internal Revenue Service Notify service companies of your move. The following companies will need to know that you will no longer need their service or will be transferring an account: • Electric • Cable • Gas or fuel oil • Internet • Telephone • Lawn care service • Newspaper • Refuse Contact services and companies for your new home. Our Relocation Concierge will help you determine what services you will need and how to go about setting them up. Included in this folder is a list of essential contact numbers to get you started.

TESTIMONIALS “We worked with The Relocation Team to find a 2-bedroom condo in Manhattan NY earlier this year. The Team was very quick to provide us a comprehensive list of properties based on our needs. During the house viewing, they were very methodical in making an efficient plan to allow us to view those properties within a constrained schedule. They have provided us very good feedback during the evaluation phase. The most impressive part is that the Team has been extremely helpful after we purchased the property. Due to being remote from NYC, we found ourselves relying on their continuous help to deal with repair/remodeling items. Overall, The Relocation Team has great integrity you can rely on.” -Yao Yuan, Murray Hill Condo Owner “The Relocation Team has helped our family with rentals and purchases of residential properties in Manhattan, and every time we have been delighted. They are always on the ball, they work very hard to find the best possible solution. Their judgements have proved impeccable so far. ” - Radha Chadha, Chelsea Condo Owner “The Relocation Team is an absolute pleasure to work with, they are efficient, they worked with our price point and never pressured us at any time. If we are in a state to sell our current place, they will be the first people we will go to!” - Samantha Ho, Murray Hill Condo Owner “The Relocation Team has been a pleasure to work with. They are all attentive, efficient and knowledgeable plus- very easy to work with. They found us the right tenant, and also helped with all of the paperwork. They really know the area.” - Peggy Bloch, Upper East Side Co-op Owner “The Relocation Team was fantastic to work with. I knew very little about real estate when I began my search and they were patient, helpful and positive throughout the entire process. I had such a smooth time buying my first apartment thanks to The Relocation Team’s thoroughness and organization and I would recommend working with them to anyone!” - Seonjae Kim “The Relocation Team are absolute rockstars! My girlfriend and I could not have hoped for a more seamless or productive apartment search. We had scoured apartment websites and worked with an external agent but nothing compared to the options The Relocation Team provided for us. Our apartment meets all the conditions we were looking for and was even below budget! Aside from the apartment itself, working with The Relocation Team was wonderful. They were was energetic, genuine, and highly communicative.” - James Martter “My fiance and I had a wonderful experience working with Kevin Maher and Laurie Benazic in our relocation to New York City. We have never lived in Manhattan before, and Laurie and Kevin made us feel comfortable and confident throughout the process. They listened to our wants and needs and lined up appointments with condos and apartments that fit with what we were looking for. With their help, we were fortunate to find multiple units we loved and were within our budget. Once we picked our favorite, they answered all of our questions about the board application process, and communicated with the owner, broker, and building management. They have saved us so much time and stress throughout the process, and we are so grateful! They valued our opinions, were honest and trustworthy, and worked efficiently to find what we needed. We would recommend Kevin and Laurie to anyone looking for housing in New York City.” - Caitlin & Will
