US Domestic Employee Relocation Services

Our home sale assistance process stems from over 25 years of experience and compliance working within industry-standard Worldwide ERC® guidelines and Internal Revenue Service regulations. Supported by our proprietary relocation technology, CARICS, our dedicated counselors who, are licensed real estate professionals, proactively work to guide your transferees through the home sale process. We offer a range of home sale programs including home marketing assistance, direct reimbursement, amended value sale, buyer value option, and guaranteed buyout.

Your transferees have access to a personal web portal, which includes an easy-to-use expense entry system. The portal is also available in our free mobile application, where the employee can access all their data on the go. Transferees can easily upload receipts to submit for reimbursement and receive updates on the status of their expense submission.

During the initial call, the relocation counselor will explain the mortgage assistance benefits available to the transferee and give a brief introduction to the mortgage lender network. The transferee is under no obligation to work with our preferred lenders but the benefits of choosing a preferred lender include:

• Facturación directa
• Equipos de apoyo a la reubicación dedicados
• Pre-aprobación sin coste con informe de crédito
• Reducción de las comisiones de los prestamistas
• Programas hipotecarios de reubicación que pueden ofrecer tipos más bajos que los del mercado

To assist in managing this process, our vendor management department uses a technology-driven solution developed internally called Move Management Platform (MMP®). MMP® is an opportunity board for household goods van lines. For each move, carriers may choose to submit their price based on what works best for their time frames and traffic lanes while avoiding overbooking. These bids are calculated on our negotiated, fully transparent single-factor rate and creates a mini-RFP for each move.

BVO (Buyer Value Option):

Under the BVO program, the employee assumes full responsibility for selling their home on the open market. They manage the listing, marketing, and buyer search, maximizing their potential equity. The employee also benefits from tax deductions and avoids the upfront costs of appraisals. The relocation management company (RMC) provides assistance with marketing and legal support but ultimately defers to the employee’s decisions.

GBO (Guaranteed Buyout):

The GBO program offers the employee a guaranteed offer from the company based on two independent appraisals. The company then takes ownership of the property and is responsible for selling it on the open market. The employee receives the guaranteed offer upon acceptance, eliminating uncertainty and providing a predictable timeline for their relocation.

WHR Global can help both companies and employees navigate the complexities of relocation. They can provide expert advice on BVO and GBO options, as well as other relocation services such as temporary housing, homefinding, and tax assistance.
