Here is exactly how we make money. Ask our competitors to do the same.
Relocation pricing is deliberately hard to compare. Headline fees are low because the real revenue sits in referral splits and supply-chain markups nobody itemizes. We think publishing it is the whole differentiator.
Why 'no-fee' relocation is never free.
A relocation management company typically charges an employer 1–2% of total relocation spend — occasionally nothing at all. The remainder of the revenue comes from three places. First, real estate referral fees on employee home sales and purchases, commonly 35–46% of the agent’s commission. Second, supply-chain margin: household goods marked up 7% or more, temporary housing marked up several dollars a night. Third, rebates and commissions from vendors that never appear on a client invoice.
None of that is illegal, and plenty of it funds real service. The problem is what the referral fee does to quality. Agents who dominate a market decline business that gives away nearly half the commission, which means the file lands with whoever will take it. Your employee’s biggest transaction gets the least-busy agent.
Our economics are the same category of economics — we are honest that real estate referrals fund this business. The difference is that we disclose the share, we recruit partner teams on production rather than fee tolerance, and we take nothing on the rest of your spend.
Three revenue lines. All disclosed.
Homeowner programs
Home sale and home purchase files generate a referral share from the partner team's earned commission. That revenue funds the program, so the employer's service fee is minimal — and we tell you the share.
- Referral share disclosed in your agreement
- No fee inflation on the employee's commission rate
- Home-sale program structuring where available
Renter & lump sum programs
No real estate transaction means no referral revenue, so we charge a straightforward per-file coordination fee. One number, quoted before the file opens, unchanged at invoice.
- Flat per-file coordination fee
- Optional guided support for lump sum employees
- Spend reporting included
Supply chain
Household goods, temporary housing, travel, and storage are invoiced at the negotiated rate we obtained. We do not take a markup, a rebate, or a volume commission on your spend.
- 0% household goods markup
- 0% per-night temporary housing uplift
- Carrier bids shared with you on request
Final referral splits and per-file fees are set in your service agreement and confirmed in writing before the first file opens. Home-sale program structures vary by state and are subject to licensing and tax review.
The list that matters.
- Percentage-of-spend fees that grow when your costs grow
- Household goods markups (industry practice commonly runs 7%+)
- Temporary housing uplift of $5–10 per night
- Undisclosed vendor rebates or volume commissions
- Enterprise implementation fees or annual platform minimums
A 20-minute audit, no obligation.
Send a redacted invoice set from your current provider and last year’s move volume. We’ll identify where margin is likely hidden, model the same program under published economics, and tell you honestly if switching isn’t worth it.

Ask us anything about the numbers — the referral share, the flat fee, the carrier bids. We answer on the call, not after procurement.
