Save with CRS
Money saving opportunities in relocation are significant. Our service oriented and intangible product often directs attention to the more tangible fee quote than to the far more critical "Total Cost of Relocation." The chart below demonstrates how CRS has consistently out performed the industry on managing the "Total Cost of Relocation" to the lowest optimal level.

Focus on Total Relocation Cost Management results for the most impactful cost saving opportunities.
CRS has consistently out performed the industry by focusing on the true "Cost Drivers" in relocation. CRS focuses on:
- Optimal counselor workloads
- Experienced counselors
- Practical ongoing training
- Focus on our Client's best interests
- Outstanding judgements and decision making
- Vendor selection based upon qualifications versus affiliations
- Significant depth of understanding real estate
Do not allow a low fee quote to divert attention from the true "Cost Drivers"!
While relocation company fees are important, the relocation company's track record on managing total relocation costs has significantly more impact on your company's bottom line than the fee they quote you.
Consider this very realistic scenario:
| RELOCATION Company A | Relocation Company B | |
|---|---|---|
| Relocation Company Fee for buyouts | $1,000 | $3,000 |
| Total Relocation Costs | $52,000 | $42,000 |
While relocation company B has a higher fee the client would actually have a $10,000 cost savings per transaction if they chose the company with the best total relocation cost management results. This is a common error.
