  • One move, not twoAsk for homes with an option to buy: live there first, buy at a price set up front, and skip the second move. Same broker from lease to closing.
  • First look before listingHomes coming open 60–90 days out, before they hit public rental sites.
  • Verified, no scamsOur local team confirms the owner and walks the home before you send a dollar. Live video tour on your schedule.
  • Commute checkRush-hour drive time from each home to your office.
  • School district lookupThe official district and boundary link for each home's address. Facts, never rankings.
  • A lease that fits your start dateWe ask owners for 6, 12 or 18-month terms, or lease-to-own, timed to your move.
  • Apply onceOne pre-screen. Owners see you as ready to sign, so the right home doesn't go to someone slower.

No cost to you: the owner pays our placement fee. HR and relocation teams: how we work with you.
