Amidst the many tasks a successful relocation requires, home finding for employees is one of the most critically important.  When heading to a new and usually unfamiliar area, Kinetix can provide home finding assistance that gives your people the help and guidance needed to make an educated decision, and to start to feel at home as quickly as possible.  

Whether finding a home to rent or seeking relocation home buying assistance at the destination location, our network of relocation-savvy realtors, brokers, and rental agents are there to help.  They live in the areas they serve, and have a keen understanding of both the features of the area and of the needs of the people and families moving there. Our Kinetix Home Finding Specialist will complete an in-depth needs analysis, and work with the destination agent to ensure a broad offering of neighborhoods and housing options is presented.  Then we’ll stay with you through the whole process to ensure everything goes smoothly until you are comfortably settled in your new home.

Kinetix has a vast network of destination agents with broad local expertise.  Not only are our network of relocation real estate brokers and agents required to have an in-depth understanding of relocation processes and procedures, they provide the best guidance available for relocation home finding through a deep knowledge of the area and local customs and benefits.

Employees going on assignment have varying housing needs.   Their family size, the assignment timing, and even the other benefits covered within a relocation policy or mobility program may create challenges that require some expert assistance.  They may be traveling light, needing fully furnished housing for the short or long term.  When shipping furniture, they might be looking for interim furniture rental, and then transition to their own furniture upon arrival of their household goods.

Kinetix can support these needs in an end-to-end, seamlessly coordinated fashion.  With Kinetix full-service domestic and international mobility program support, and on-the-ground housing experts around the world, we make rental finding for employees going on assignment and transferring permanently a stress-free process.

In most locations, corporate housing payments can have a tax impact as they are usually included in the income of the expatriate.  To remain compliant, Kinetix can help you to navigate corporate housing and tax rules, providing access to tax experts that work specifically with expatriate populations.  In addition, Kinetix can provide pre-planning and ongoing payment and reporting assistance to ensure everything is accounted for.

Whether searching in the United States or globally, there are a number of resources that can make rental finding for employees going on assignment significantly easier.  Kinetix can source short- and long- term corporate apartment rentals, long term home rentals for employees, and apartments for expatriate employees  anywhere in the world.

Our support begins with a renter needs assessment, to determine preferences on rental size, amenities, and neighborhood preferences.  We pair these preferences with on-the-ground renter support at the destination location, and begin narrowing the search pre-departure to ensure that any time spent at the new location is maximized.

Some temporary relocations can turn into long-term or permanent assignments and localizations, creating the need for long-term rentals.  Kinetix can reduce stress and help make rental finding more efficient, giving your employees a head start when acclimating to their new surroundings.  

Kinetix can provide move support and furniture rental during transition, negotiate lease terms to best fit the employee and family’s needs, arrange for deposits and payments per policy, and help to transfer short term renters into a long-term arrangement.
