Does every real estate company handle "relocation"?
The depth and breadth of our Relocation Services goes far beyond the scope of typical brokerage services. Our counselors are non-selling personnel dedicated to facilitate every aspect of your transition - before, during and even after your move.

Can you also handle the sale of my house?
Absolutely. Our affiliation with The Leading Real Estate Companies of the World^TM, the largest independent network of independent real estate brokers in the world, provides our counselors with the tools to coordinate your home sale, as well as your relocation.

I want to explore a wide area. Do I need more than one agent?
Actually, Residential Properties covers the entire state of Rhode Island, along with bordering Massachusetts and Connecticut. And If you wish to see homes outside of these areas, your Relocation Counselor will connect you with an appropriate The Leading Real Estate Companies of the World^TM partner.

Is it better to rent first before buying?
Not necessarily. Residential Properties does have a Rental Division that can help. But after working with our Relocation Counselors - and taking advantage of the customized tours and free services we offer - most of our clients find they can avoid renting temporarily.

If I find a home I like on the Web, should I contact the listing agent directly?
We'd advise against it. Your Residential Properties Relocation Counselor can literally show you any home on the market. And considering the listing agent is really working for the Seller, it's better to have us represent your interests.
