SIRVA's Pre-Decision Services Increase Relocation Success Rate, Lower Cost

CHICAGO, May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- SIRVA Inc. announces its unique Pre-Decision Services, which enable companies, transferees and job candidates to determine how a potential relocation can impact their financial situation. Based on a proprietary data analysis, SIRVA's Pre-Decision Services help companies increase relocation success rates and lower total relocation costs.

"In today's challenging real estate market, potential transferees and job candidates may be hesitant to accept relocation offers due to concerns about selling and purchasing a home," said Debbie Balli, president of global relocation services at SIRVA. "SIRVA's Pre-Decision Services help assess the financial picture up front, which reduces costly surprises down the line."

For employers, SIRVA's Pre-Decision Services bring added predictability and cost saving to relocation. By assessing the potential total cost of a home sale, SIRVA's Pre-Decision Services provide companies and potential transferees with the information necessary to make the best decisions. Understanding the cost of a home sale helps to protect companies from initiating relocations that are not cost-effective and aids them in identifying transferees who have a higher probability for a successful relocation.  

In addition, SIRVA's Pre-Decision Services can assist transferees and job candidates in determining whether relocation is a financially viable opportunity. As part of its Pre-Decision Services, SIRVA conducts a personalized real estate market analysis that helps individuals understand the value of his or her home in relation to market conditions. SIRVA's Pre-Decision analysis includes a unique valuation that does not rely exclusively on Automated Valuation Models but incorporates a variety of data sources and the expertise of a designated real estate consultant, thereby providing a more accurate, comprehensive analysis of the home-sale cost.

SIRVA offers four unique Pre-Decision Services—each with different valuation methodologies and turnaround times—in order to meet companies' varying needs. With valuation services ranging from policy reviews to current market analyses to destination referrals, SIRVA can customize solutions to meet a wide range of specific relocation objectives.

Ultimately, SIRVA's Pre-Decision Services can save companies and employees time and money while significantly improving the relocation experience.
