Relocation Services

Are you moving?  Whether you need to sell a home, buy a home or both we provide a full service program to assist with your moving needs.  We are experienced in listing homes and know how to successfully work with you and any relocation program that may be a part of your benefits package.  We have not only professional, but personal experience in moving and can recommend service providers and vendors to make the sale or purchase of your home a seamless, stress-free experience.  Refer to the "Personal Background" for more on our personal relocation experiences.  You will also want to read the testimonials as several of the comments come from relocation clients we serviced in their move.

It is common for a relocation company or employer to inform you that they will provide you with several real estate agent names for you to interview. What most people who are relocating don't know, is that you can specifically request to interview your own real estate agent of choice if they are Accredited Relocation Counselors. As such, you can specifically request John & Becky Durham as one of your real estate agent interview choices.
