Need a contact in Mumbai to help with relocation?

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:22:03 +0000

I am relocating to Mumbai in the next few weeks and need a local contact who can help me. I would need someone who knows the Mumbai area well and can guide me as to where to live and help me get the basics and get settled in. I would need this person to help me prepare for the move, receive me at the airport and then be my guide for a few weeks. Help me with shopping and learning about the area. If interested please contact me.

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.

Does anyone know of a good car relocation company?

I am expecting to travel from Miami to Seattle, with no real time frame. I am looking at options for car rentals etc. But I have been told that car relocations could be a good option. Does anyone know of any good companies that would let me drive someone elses car for free or a small fee?

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.

Moving services. Is this a good deal?

I am moving 4 miles.
Everything will be boxed and reasy to load.
Here is the ad:

NO ANY EXTRAS FOR ALL moving services-

-DISSASEMBLING OR REASSEMBLING YOUR FURNITURE
-STAIRS
-LONG CARRY
-PIANO HANDLING,OR EXTRA HEAVY ITEMS
-NIGHT TIME OR WEEK-END JOB
YOU CAN SEE OUR LOWEST HOURLY RATES BELOW:

3 PROFESSIONALS WITH 24 -FEET TRUCK-$80

4 PROFESSIONALS WITH 24 -FEET TRUCK-$95
Louie the problem with having long term friends is, they are growing old with me. Nobody can handle moving like we could when we were puppies

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.

How do relocation real estate buying programs work?

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:21:56 +0000

So we’re interested in buying this house. However, there’s an agreement by the seller with a relocation real estate company, to buy the house from them if they can’t sell it after a period of time. We found out we made an offer that is lower than the relocation company. So are we working with the seller or the relocation company? And is this not worth it? Seems the relocation company did not incorporate the expected decline in home prices. It needs a lot of upgrades and needs some repairs too — the reason our offer was also agressive. Any thoughts? Advice? thanks!

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.
