After taxes, housing represents the biggest expense for any international assignment. Having current data is critical for managing housing budgets when local rental markets can experience rapid price fluctuations.
Real-Time RentCheck™, a revolutionary assessment prepared by ORC Worldwide, helps you manage your budget against the ups and downs of the market by providing the latest housing information exactly when you need it. So you spend less time validating data, checking property availability, and negotiating with assignees.
| Fast | Provides on-demand housing information for a given location within 48 hours* of your request |
|---|---|
| Current | Gives a snapshot of actual market conditions and availability (up to 10 rental quotes for currently available properties) |
| Tailored | Allows you to choose location, cost category, property type, and number of bedrooms based on your assignee’s needs |
| Useful | Assists with every aspect of the housing process: pre-assignment housing searches, establishing final housing budgets, lease re-negotiations, and more |
| Immediate ROI | Can pay for itself by reducing the number of assignee home-finding trips, and exception requests for more expensive housing |
