All the right moves.You invest a lot in your employees. So when you relocate them, whether it’s across the country or across continents, it’s important that they be happy. At McKenzie Drake, we understand the value of successful employee relocation. And we work diligently to ensure that every relocation turns out well.

Under the supervision of Suzanne Rivera, broker and president of McKenzie Drake, our professional agents use experience and a thorough knowledge of the market to pair each employee with the ideal living situation. And we’re good at what we do. Over the last 10 years, Suzanne and her team have moved more than a thousand families to Houston, in the process establishing a well-deserved reputation for successful relocations.

The right location.When it comes to finding a place to live, everyone has his or her own set of priorities. An executive with a family might want a house in a highly rated school district or close to the office, for example, while a single engineer may be more interested in a luxury apartment near an active social scene.

At McKenzie Drake, we take the time to get to know each of our clients personally. With our online needs-assessment questionnaire, we gather valuable information about individual preferences and desires. We also offer a website filled with useful information about the city, allowing a transferee to explore various neighborhoods and home options before he ever comes to town. So when your employee does come to look for a place to live, we show only properties that meet his or her needs.

The right home.As licensed real estate agents under the supervision of a dedicated broker, the professionals at McKenzie Drake offer Houston companies a full spectrum of real estate services including buying, selling, leasing, temporary housing, apartment locating, and settling-in services. As the employer, you establish the parameters of each employee’s relocation and we find housing that meets those specifications. As relocation specialists, we pride ourselves on knowing the market. And we can help each of your employees determine the housing solution that works best for his particular situation.

Residential leasing. If you’re an executive or an expatriate looking for more space for family or pets, residential leasing is a great option for you. We can help your employee lease a comfortable and exclusive condominium, townhome or single-family home in a neighborhood that suits his lifestyle. A lease means no closing costs and no chance of having to sell a home should the employee be transferred to another market.

Apartment locating. In a city with more than 3,000 complexes, finding an apartment can be a daunting process. At McKenzie Drake, we know the multitude of amenities available and we can recommend the best apartment choices for every lifestyle. What’s more, we understand budgets and can direct your employee to the apartment that fits his wallet as well as his personality.

Temporary housing. If you’re looking to provide your employee with a place that feels like home with space for visiting family, temporary housing is an attractive alternative to extended-stay hotels. Rather than living out of a suitcase, your employee gets a furnished apartment with an “everything included” rental package complete with high-end furniture, linens, cookware, electronics, décor, and utilities.

Buying or selling a home. If your company or employee prefers to purchase rather than rent, McKenzie Drake can help. We offer a full spectrum of buying and selling services and can ease the process from the initial search through successful closing.

Our Realtors are familiar with neighborhoods all over the greater Houston area and can help your employees find those that meet their needs. From Katy to Sugarland, West University to The Woodlands, we have helped countless clients to buy and sell homes in neighborhoods all over town.

The right services.Moving across the city can be intimidating. Moving across the world can be overwhelming. McKenzie Drake offers a full spectrum of settling-in services to help your employee and family adjust to their new home and hometown.

We are available to give tours, pointing out areas of interest as well as practical places such as banks, grocery stores and medical facilities. We can accompany expatriates to acquire drivers’ licenses and Social Security cards, making certain they have the proper paper work ahead of time. Whether it’s researching schools for the kids or finding a groomer for the dog, we can provide the services that make your employee feel at home.

The right choice.At McKenzie Drake, we act as an extension of your company, providing the kind of personal attention your employees deserve. You make the introduction and we’ll take over from there, keeping you apprised at every point in the process. From negotiating home-purchasing contracts and leases to inserting diplomatic clauses to coordinating utility connections, we can handle it all – down to the final signature.

Consider McKenzie Drake as your one-stop relocation department. We’re the right choice. With all the right moves to make each of your relocations a success.
