Relocation

A relocation appraisal supports corporate relocation programs where employees are being moved to or from a new work location. Common products: Anticipated Sales Price (ASP, also called Marketing Price), Most Probable Sales Price (MPSP), and ERC Summary Appraisal Reports. These appraisals are typically faster, more action-oriented, and structured to support quick decisions about whether the employer buys the home or facilitates the employee’s own sale.

Relocation appraisals prioritize: estimated sales price (rather than just market value), anticipated marketing time, condition observations affecting sale, and recommendations for repairs or staging that would speed the sale. They’re used by corporate relocation programs and Relocation Management Companies (RMCs) to make rapid decisions about employee home transactions.

Typically the corporate relocation department, the employer’s Relocation Management Company (Cartus, Sirva, Aires, Brookfield, etc.), or occasionally the employee. The appraiser typically reports to the RMC and provides the analysis the relocation program needs to make its purchase or assistance decision.

On average, a relocation appraisal takes 3–4 business days from inspection to completion. Rush options are available for time-sensitive employee relocations. The early engagement of the appraiser supports timely employee moves and minimizes business disruption.
