The agents who are handling this type of business need extra training to meet the growing requirements of our clients. Most real estate companies still use the old system of just passing these important assignments to the floor agent. There is much more to be done with a referral or relocation transaction, over and above the normal duties of an agent.
The top relocation companies that entrust their clients to our company, know they are working with agents who know the process and will help guide them through the move.
We have had the privilege of hearing “You at Coldwell Banker South Central Realty are the best in the business.” That is a HUGE compliment as they deal with Real Estate Companies all over the Country.
I understand the stress involved in a move whether it is down the street or cross-country. You can count on me to relieve as much of that stress as possible, I will keep in close contact with you and with your relocation company (if you are using one). Let me know if you would like a relocation package sent your way, it has lots of information for your upcoming move.
For Our Military Armed Forces, Here is Some Important Information
Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH)
BAH is an allowance to offset the cost of housing when you do not receive government-provided housing. Your BAH depends upon your location, pay grade and whether you have dependents. BAH rates are set by surveying the cost of rental properties in each geographic location. The rates are established such that members in each pay grade, independent of location, pay approximately the same out-of-pocket costs. Therefore, BAH rates in high-cost areas will be much greater than those in low-cost areas. BAH rates are published on the Per Diem Committee web page (https://secureapp2.hqda.pentagon.mil/perdiem/bah.html)
Additionally, there are different types of BAH to compensate for special situations.
BAH Levels and Increases
The Secretary of Defense announced a major FY2001 Budget initiative to eliminate out-of-pocket costs for off-base housing in the United States. This action reduced service members' out-of-pocket costs for housing from an average of 18.8 percent of monthly housing costs in 2000 to 15 percent in 2001, with continued reductions each year thereafter. Average out-of-pocket costs were entirely eliminated in 2005.
Average rental costs in particular locations fluctuate, both up and down. Until 2005 when the transition from the old Basic Allowance for Quarters and Variable Housing Allowance (BAQ/VHA) to BAH is complete, BAH rates did not decrease at any location. Beginning in 2006, BAH rates for an area may follow both the increases and decreases of average rental costs, but no individual’s rate will decrease.
For additional information concerning BAH, contact Office of the Secretary of Defence.
