Departure Program Agent Summary and Expectations

Departure Program Summary 

Departure referrals initiate from corporate clients (ex. Amazon, Nike, Microsoft, etc.) typically through a third party relocation services provider (ex. Cartus, SIRVA, etc.).    Departure referrals are competitive listing opportunities meaning our brokerage and a second brokerage are selected to meet with transferees, provide a BMA and a CMA with a marketing plan.  The transferee, with assistance and recommendations from the relocation company, will select the agent they wish to list their home with.

Standard Client Expectations - Departure (provided by client - Cartus)

The following Departure specific requirements are in addition to the sample eligibility requirements provided above.

  • Service all Third Party listings personally (cannot assign to assistant)

  • Complete all Home Marketing and/or Inventory Templates within the required timeframes

    • In accordance with client referral requirements, provide education to homeowners (transferees) about local market conditions, you and your marketing strategy, and the real estate listing process

  • Provide a BMA report with property pictures for the corporate and relocation clients within 24 hours of transferee meeting.  If selected, provide a separate CMA to the transferee

  • Meet or exceed all Cartus Home Marketing and Inventory performance metrics

  • Nurture transferees throughout the process.  Follow up with transferees on a regular basis and provide bi-weekly detailed status updates via web based relocation software program

  • Understand that the seller/transferee cannot sign or execute any of the home sale documents:  contract, counter offers, addenda, etc. as there are tax consequences.  Work closely with Coldwell Banker Bain Departure Account Manager to follow client requirements for offer review and acceptance    

  • Agree to provide a buyer profile
