Congratulatio on your new job and on relocating to San Diego. Your company probably has a generous
Many companies seek to reduce relocating expe es by receiving referral fees from San Diego real estate agents and mortgage lenders. Those San Diego real estate agents on the a roved list are not so much qualified as they are willing to give back some of their fee to your company. That is why your company might say your relocation benefits are in jeopardy if you don't use the a roved San Diego agents.
Not all of the agents on the list are incompetent, but they arent nece arily all certified however. You should never let your company a ign an agent to you. Ask for a list of all the agents and interview them just like you would on the open market. Have them send you their promotional real estate materials. Then go ahead and choose who you'd like to work with.
Be careful when using the a roved San Diego mortgage lender as well. Lenders didnt get on the recommended list because they offered the best interest rates. It might be worth your while to get a couple of other competitive quotes just to make sure that you're not paying too much for your loan.
If you have a favorite agent who i 't on the list you can still use them. Many times a real estate agent can get a roved by your company by simply talking with the relocation company and agreeing to their fee structure. That way you can work with the agent you're comfortable with and you get your relocation benefits too!
