Comment on Does anyone know of a good car relocation company? by samrinoma

I forget the name of the company that does it in the USA, but I believe there’s a system whereby you can deliver cars for free and claim your gasoline expenses once you deliver. They usually are cars that people own but have moved to a new area. Perhaps try and Google it.
Sorry I can’t be of more help.

Comment on Moving services. Is this a good deal? by Louie

I am totally using movers for my next move. I don’t think my back can survive another one.
Be sure to take inventory of all your belongings. Take pictures of the expensive stuff, in case you need to prove that the movers scratched something. If possible label the boxes with the contents so you can tell right away if something is missing.
Be aware that if something is damaged or lost, the moving company will probably not give you replacement value. They will prorate the cost and give you very little compared to what you think the real value is.

Comment on Moving services. Is this a good deal? by Carl P

I suspect the $80.00 and $95 is a quote for an "hourly" rate, not the full cost. Remember the saying "if it looks too good to be true then its probably not" I would be very careful with this. If its possible to get a reference from them I would do so. How long have they been in business? That might give you a hint and also if you have a Better Business Bureau in your city, call and see if there are any complaints against this company.

Hi! Nice to know that you are shifting to Mumbai. You would require professional help in searching for a house, moving in your belongings, and settling your family.

Comment on How do relocation real estate buying programs work? by A D

My dealings with relo companies have been mixed. It used to be more common for companies to offer relocation packages to employees of a *certain position*. The benefits to the employees can vary widely.

Sounds like you are dealing with a buy-out. That’s a pretty sweet deal for the transferring employee. Typically, an appraisal is done and the employee and the company reach an agreement of a buy-out price. At that point, there is little incentive for the transferring employee to negotiate the price down from what the company has agreed to pay.

At this point, you will typically do all negotiations with the owner, not the relo company. Some times, after the property is under contract between the owner and a buyer, but, just before closing (a couple of days), the relo company will buy out the owner and then closing documents and will show the relocation company as the seller of record. Just depends on the deal the owner (transferring employee) has.

You may just have to wait and see if you can negotiate with the relo company AFTER the buy-out. It may take a while until the relo company recognizes that the asking price is too high. Then you may be able to negotiate a lower price.

Good luck.

Damn. The fact we …
Damn. The fact we did this to our own people just makes me sick. How could they take away their rights like this without a trial or due process? Love the cheerful music in the background, as if that made it alright.
