Some employees who get relocated for work incur financial losses due to the transfer. Here are some ways to deal with thousands of shortfalls.
If you moved states because of work relocation and brought your entire family along with you, experiencing a few hitches could be inevitable. However, if you lose thousands of dollars because of the transfer, then this is a problem that needs to be resolved as soon as possible or your finances might just go on a downward spiral in the blink of an eye.
Most of the big problems involves housing. For instance, one family has been losing money, close to $90,000, because of work relocation and housing problems especially if you are selling an old home, reported Green Bay Press Gazette. If a similar drawback happens to you, here are a few things you need to consider.
Richard Montgomery, a veteran at the real estate industry, advised to disclose your problem to someone from within the company. Preferably someone from the companywide relocation person is your best bet. This way they would take action against the relocation company who has not performed his task and can advise you with what to do exactly to solve the issue. Never speak with the vendor, who recommended the listing agent because if he has not done anything to help you out, he will never help.
Renting out your old house is not a good idea. Just because you are losing on valuable money from an unbought home, does not mean you would start becoming a real estate investor. If you will rent out your old home, this entails that you could drive to the property in less than a day.
Give huge importance to selling your home. Once you have sold your old home, the big losses would stop. If you are having problems with your current agent, then consult with another one and get to the bottom of the problem with selling the old property. Address the main issue: why is the home not selling? After that, with the aid of your agent, find ways to solve the issue. Also, be sure that the agent you are working with is living in the city or county where the house is located.
