Relocation Services

Initial Consultation:
To get started, we’ll schedule a short phone call to discuss your needs. We’ll establish things like your time frame, your goals, your price range, & your location needs. We can easily communicate by email, telephone, text message, or whatever you prefer.

Area & Neighborhood Recommendations:
With what we learn from our Initial consultation regarding what you need in your new home, we can begin to narrow down to specific area & neighborhood recommendations. Homes that will fit your budget, your commute, and any other important location specific criteria like schools or proximity to entertainment.

Targeted Property Searches:
It’s great to do your own online search, but we will also set up targeted property searches based on the locations you’ve identified and your specific needs for your new home. The Austin MLS provides us with powerful property search tools that we will use, to tailor specific home searches just for you. We can organize your home search into specific search alerts for each area/neighborhood criteria that you want to explore.

Organize Your Favorites:
We’ll provide an online client portal that will allow you to save favorites, possibilities, and to discard properties that you don’t like. You can make notes on properties so that you can easily remember what you liked about each home. If you’re buying your new home with a partner or family, this allows you to easily share your thoughts on different properties and areas.

Touring Properties:
We are happy to spend time with you to tour homes and neighborhoods so that you can get a feel for the areas that fit you the best. Our agents are glad to give personalized tours of neighborhoods, homes and community amenities such as schools, parks, shopping, recreational facilities and more. We’re also happy to show you as many homes as you would like to see to feel comfortable that you
understand the market & your options.

Virtual Tours:
With Austin’s fast-paced real estate market, many buyers purchase homes based on virtual tours and the advice of their agent. We are happy to help preview homes by virtual tours & upload walk-through videos on properties you’re interested in.

Market Analysis:
Rock Properties provides outgoing employees and their families with a comprehensive market analysis of their home. An invaluable tool in determining the value of a home, a market analysis includes information on active competing properties and comparable properties that have recently sold, along with current market conditions.

Contract & Purchase:
When you’re ready to move forward with your purchase, we will guide you through the traditional home buying process. We do understand that a relocation can present unique challenges that usually involve purchasing remotely, and we’re happy to help you through this process.

Remote Closings:
We can set up a remote closing for you wherever you would like (a notary comes to you to close the day before funding.) We’ll perform your final walk through for you & are happy to video chat or send a video walk through so that you’re confident the property is in good shape.

Vendor Referrals:
Since you’re new to town, we’re happy to provide you with a list of vendors that we’ve worked with for years. We can recommend a great mortgage lender, home inspector, insurance provider, landscaper, and more! If you need help finding help, just ask!

Property Management:
Rock Properties oversees properties for transferees who move to and from Austin, ensuring that utility services, lawn and pool maintenance, and other services are being maintained.
