Following an aggressive affinity marketing program, The RCL has established, and continues to do so, links with national companies whose products and services meet the needs and interests of RCL members.

Relocation Services

A lifestyle change is imminent. Perhaps you are contemplating a move or downsizing, moving closer to your children and grandchildren or into a retirement residence; the prospect of relocation brings with it significant stress, worries and unknown costs. It can be a challenging situation. However, it doesn’t have to be one that you face alone.

With the patient, helpful and knowledgeable guidance of a Relocation Services consultant you can avoid being a victim of what the Better Business Bureau calls unethical practices that tarnish the industry. Relocation Services consultants will help you choose a reliable and conscientious carrier. Additionally, Relocation Services can show you how to receive a cash rebate on real estate transactions.

Real Estate
Get cash back on real estate transactions. Relocation Services works with all real estate companies so you can use a representative of your own choice or it will refer you to a top producing agent. The first point of contact, however, must be made by Relocation Services — even before you speak to that representative. Once the transaction has closed, Relocation Services will offer any RCL member or their families cash rebates on real estate transactions of up to $3.25 per $1,000 of value of their home sale and/or purchase.

Moving
A Relocation Services consultant will be your personal guide through this time of transition by helping to simplify the process. First, Relocation Services has preferred pricing from all the major van lines and guaranteed pricing on long distance moves. Second, the best part of this moving service is that you don’t pay the mover at destination before your goods are released — thereby taking the risk and stress out of moving. Payment is made to Relocation Services after it has completed a comprehensive audit of all the charges to ensure there are no errors or overcharges and that you’re only paying what you should be.

To find out more about Relocation Services and how it can save you time and money, speak to one of its qualified consultants today.
