We provide destination and real estate services to the talent of the region’s largest and most dynamic corporations, universities, and startups. We know first-hand how exciting – and overwhelming – moving to a new city can be! Contact us if you need any of the following services:
- ONBOARDING – We communicate with potential candidates or new hires as early as possible — as they begin to weigh the pros and cons of the Pittsburgh region. We involve the accompanying spouse/partner at this early stage. We answer questions about the community, determine relocation needs, and discuss adjustment concerns.
- AREA ORIENTATION TOURS – We provide personalized area orientation tours that are fine-tuned to individuals’ and families’ needs, preferences, and interests. These tours connect new hires, transferees, and their families with the neighborhoods, housing options, and schools. They also build confidence in maneuvering around the new city.
- SCHOOLS – We help families to identify and explore which school will meet their child’s academic needs, including scheduling visits and preparing registration/enrollment materials. Visit the website Niche that ranks the region’s schools according to several factors, while GreatSchools.com offers academic-only rankings.
- NEIGHBORHOODS – We help newcomers identify communities that suit their lifestyle, match the commute-time tolerance and school preference. We help them find the place where they feel most at home, sometimes that is a walkable urban community, a suburb convenient to highways and shopping malls, or a peaceful rural retreat.
- SETTLING-IN – We guide international assignees in obtaining documents such as SSN and driver’s licenses; arranging for driving lessons; car lease or vehicle purchase, automobile titles, registration, and insurance; opening bank accounts; obtaining cell phone service; turning on household utility services, as well buying or renting furniture.
- CROSS-CULTURAL COACHING – We help the employee and family prepare for the ups and downs of an international relocation. We work with them during the most challenging assignment stages that helps them build skills and identify strategies they can adjust as challenges and opportunities present themselves in the new location.
