[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DH has been at his company for 2 years, and they have decided he should relocate. This isn't a shock - the potential to relocate after a couple of years was always part of this job. Curious what is standard for relocation packages these days. I know they will pay for us to take a couple of house-hunting trips, will provide sale and home purchase assistance, temp housing, moving costs, and some incidental expenses. It's a similar cost of living area (Boston), and we both know it well having gone to college in the area.

Any hints or tips on what we should be looking out for once we get the full details?[/quote]

relocated 3 times.  This is what was included:

1) fully paid house hunting trip -- we got this as well

2) full pack and move and unpack with tons of insurance to cover damaged goods -- got this

3) paid transport of vehicles-  2 vehicle transported and we traveled by air

4) connections with real estate agents on the other side -  yes.  They paid our agent's commission to sell

5) 3 months of fully paid housing - usually a furnished apartment -- we only got 60 days and DH moved before us so he used it, although they did pay later when we ended up paying for temporary housing in 2 locations (long story)

6) on one of the relocations the company actually bought our house that we were moving from -- ours did not do this but they do pay for a while if you end up with 2 mortgages, which we did not

7) points toward closing if you purchase a house.  Have gotten up to 2 points.  This offer usually stands for one full year after the move.  -- ours did not offer this.

8) all closing costs taken care of for house sold and bought -- we had everything covered for the sale but had to pay owner's title for the purchase.

9) Moving stipend usually equal to a month's salary -- ours was about a half month's salary (and they take taxes out so even less)[quote]

We are in the midst of a corporate relo now.  I put what we got up here for comparison.  It's a large company.[/quote]

I got very similar benefits as a fed. [/quote]

I didn't know feds could get relocation packages. Are you GS 15 or SES? [/quote]

I'm a 14 now, but I got it as a 12. I couldn't believe it myself when I saw the package I was getting. [/quote]
