When you receive your posting message into or out of the Quinte Region and Trenton, my job is to make your move as stress free as possible.

When moving to the Trenton Area:

1) I will contact you by phone and email. I want to establish rapport right at the start and not wait for you to get here. I want to know what you need and require in a home. My search starts immediately.

2) I will courier you a relocation package with information on real estate, city maps, schools, tourist information, recreation and other information you need to know about our city.

3) I will assist you with a list of hotels and if needed car rental information.

4) Work directly with you and not pass you off to impersonal team members, so you receive the attention you need to find a new home.

5) I will provide you with a list of lawyers, home inspectors and other approved IRP suppliers, who will follow the IRP procedures. I will be able to advice you on your selection.

6) I will also be able to provide you with contacts such as dentist, insurance, home repairs, salons, and your pets needs.
