New Orleans Louisiana Real Estate and Community Blog 

Your employer informs you that you have been transferred to New Orleans and have to be there in 30 days. Oh no! Susie is going to be a senior in the fall and little Johnny is a star ball player at the neighborhood playground. I have to break the news to my spouse who just received a promotion for the Widget Company. What am I going to do?

Don’t fret, the LATTER & BLUM Relocation Department can help!

With a call to either of our referral coordinators we can counsel you on the area and provide you with a custom relocation packet full of information on the area. The information will assist you in making an informed decision whether you decide to rent or buy a home. We can help you with your housing needs whatever you decide is best for you and your family. A typical packet contains housing data, rental guides, “Where Magazine”, Chamber Guides and a compact disc with school information, area demographics, health care, housing and much more. Our associates, who are matched to each transferee, are knowledgeable about the area and can help find suitable housing meeting your needs and requirements.

Regarding Susie, the senior, we have the ability of contacting local high schools and have one or more students contact her and welcome her to the new school. These students can make Susie welcomed long before she ever arrives to the new area. We have found that they share photos of the school along with the many activities, and most importantly to a young lady, fashion styles. Little Johnny is much easier because he is outgoing and easily adaptable to any situation. All he needs is a ball and bat, football or basketball and he can make a new friend anywhere. School pen pals can be of assistance to him as well.

Spousal assistance is another of the many services we can assist you with. Through our relationships with local companies and organizations, the resume’ of a spouse can be shared in hopes that it matches the needs of one of the companies. If the children and spouse are happy in their new location then the transferee can be productive in his/her job quickly. This makes the employer, transferee and his/her family happy – a Win-Win for all.
