DENVER AREA ORIENTATION

A key element to a successful relocation is a detailed area orientation and familiarization tour, so a transferee can quickly gain a deep insight into their new location

Kentwood Relocation Services provides an informative and comprehensive area orientation service to showcase what our area has to offer before transferees commit to the relocation

Our professional consultants offer in-depth knowledge of each local area, including banks, supermarkets, schools, parks, and much more. They offer virtual viewings to different types of properties, advising on transport connections, clubs, restaurants, and hospitals.

OUR AREA ORIENTATION INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING FEATURES:

• A call to identify each transferees priorities, preferred commuting time, property preferences, concerns, and knowledge level of a local area

• Extensive virtual local tour highlighting area transport options, travel times, social demographics, schooling facilities (where relevant), housing types and prices, and average rents

• A number of virtual viewings can also be arranged so the transferee can obtain a greater understanding of relative purchasing or rental values and housing options. Regardless of the language or composition of your relocation program, the primary goal of destination services is to transfer the burden of relocating to a new location from the transferring family to the employer or relocation firm. With all the varied stress triggers activated by relocation, often the uncertainties of the new destination are a major stress factor.

AREA ORIENTATION SERVICES

Transferees usually have concerns about moving to the “right” neighborhood, regardless of the homes that are available for purchase. Families with young children tend to express more concerns about their destination. Among the orientation services that are typically most important to transferees are the following:

TARGETING PREFERENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS ONLY

Attractive neighborhoods are a matter of perception, similar to “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” For example, if the transferee has young chiladren, he or she may prefer neighborhoods with a plethora of other young children. The classic three rules of real estate (location, location and location) are also critical to appropriate neighborhood orientation.

QUALITY OF SCHOOLS

Most transferees want to move into an area with highly-ranked public schools Orientation should also include information about private schools available in the area.

COMMUTING TO THE NEW WORK PLACE

Transferees appreciate guidance about commute times to their new job. They are likely unfamiliar to the area or options available to get to their new workplace. While proximity to new jobs and offices is important, the easiest commute routes are more vital to new residents. Online maps and GPS systems help, though learning additional options for bad weather conditions or severe traffic congestion situations is invaluable.

AREA ORIENTATION SERVICES

QUALITY CHILD CARE

Transferees seldom know the ratings for local child care services in a new location. Assistance typically includes information about area child care facilities and arranging for child care during home finding trips (as relevant).

AREA MEDICAL SERVICES

Transferees should receive important information on the location of emergency and other medical service locations. Transferees appreciate informed opinions on the reputations of local hospitals as to their quality of physicians, staff and care

AREA CHURCHES, SYNAGAGUES, & OTHER WORSHIP LOCATIONS

Orientation services should include information on location of places of worship. Depending on the religious persuasions of the transferee, knowing the location of and directions to preferred houses of worship can impact the ease of moving and settling in.
