• What does customer support mean to them?
• How is quality service implemented?

Culture and Values

How your employee relocation services company respects their workers will have an impact on the overall service you can expect for your transferees and new hires. The level of trust and respect that is provided by a service provider is the foundation upon which its staff will work.

• Home Survey

  As your chosen relocation services partner, Corrigan will provide either a regular in-home survey or a virtual survey. With the community relying more and more on the internet, virtual surveys are becoming a convenient way of surveying. Corrigan’s trained survey staff work with the homeowners to put together a detailed  inventory. These have proven to be reliable, because we frequently compare estimated weight in comparison to actual weight once the relocation occurs. This allows us to continually  perfect our skills and surveying process.
