Minimize Relocation Home Sale Expenses and Risks

Sirva offers employees relocation home sale benefits to improve their experience without taking on the cost or risks typically associated with selling homes. We can help you choose the appropriate program to accelerate the relocation home sale process and reduce employee stress, while minimizing your company’s tax liability, financial responsibility, and administrative burden

Exclusive Access to Sirva RiskGuard® Solutions

When an employee sells his or her home, there is always a chance that the sale can fall through—even when the relocation must still proceed. In this instance, who will assume that risk? 

In a traditional Buyer Value Option (BVO) program, the owner of that home assumes all responsibility for any losses associated with that home if a home fails to close the client. These costs can include mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and more. 

Through our innovative Sirva RiskGuard® Solutions—not available through any other provider—we assume ownership of an employee’s home so the company doesn’t have to. In addition to assuming all risks associated with an employee’s home, these programs provide companies with predictable real estate costs that are easier to budget. Plus, you gain freedom from the managerial burden associated with derailed employee relocation home sales.
