Boston Relocation Program

One local agent for every employee you bring to Boston, from signed offer to first night in their new home.

Buy or RentEvery hire, every budget
No RetainerNo fee to your company
Private AccessOff-market homes for senior hires

The offer is signed. Now they need a place to live.

Housing is where relocations stall. A new hire who spends evenings on listing sites and weekends flying in for showings starts slower. A family that lands in the wrong town second-guesses the move. This program puts one local agent beside every relocating employee, so your people arrive settled and ready to work.

For your employee

A guide who knows every street

  • Intake call within 24 hours of the accepted offer
  • A neighborhood brief built around their commute, schools and budget
  • A tour trip planned to the hour, or live video tours from wherever they are
  • Buying or renting, handled with the same care
  • Trusted lender, attorney, mover and school contacts
  • Help selling the home they leave behind through the global Engel & Völkers network
For your HR team

One less thing to manage

  • One point of contact for every Boston move
  • Status updates to HR so start dates hold
  • Early warning if a timeline is at risk
  • Employee finances stay private, always
  • No retainer and no fee to your company
  • A relocation benefit you can put in every offer letter
You recruit the talent. We make sure they want to stay.

04
Offer to keys

Negotiation and closing

30 days after move-in

Where your people will live

Greater Boston is a collection of very different places a few miles apart. Picking the right one is most of the decision. A starting map:

Back Bay & Beacon Hill

Brownstones, gas-lit streets and the Public Garden, a short walk from downtown offices.

Best for leaders who want to walk to work

South End & Seaport

Victorian rowhouses and the city's restaurant scene, or new waterfront towers with full amenities.

Best for professionals working downtown or in the Seaport

Cambridge & Somerville

Red Line access to Kendall Square's biotech and tech campuses, with lively squares and triple-deckers.

Best for life sciences and tech hires

Brookline & Chestnut Hill

Tree-lined streets, well-regarded public schools and Green Line service into the city.

Best for families who want the city close

Newton & Wellesley

Village centers, single-family homes, commuter rail and quick access to Route 128 and the Pike.

Best for families with school-age children

Weston & Lexington

Larger lots, estate homes and privacy, close to the Route 128 office corridor.

Best for senior leaders who want space

Every employee gets a brief tailored to your office location. Renting first and buying later is often the smartest path, and the program covers both.

Private Access

For executive and leadership hires

The best homes in Greater Boston often trade without ever reaching Zillow. Senior hires get first look at them, and a search no one else can see.

  • Off-market and pre-market properties through a private broker network
  • Discreet showings, scheduled around their calendar
  • Confidential search, NDAs welcome
  • A private tour day that includes school visits for the family

Current private offerings available on request.

Client stories

They moved here. Here's how it went.

"Inventory was limited, but Camden took a proactive approach by reaching out directly to homeowners in the specific neighborhood we were targeting. That effort ultimately led us to the home we purchased. When the right opportunity came up, Camden moved incredibly fast by arranging showings early in the morning and late at night the same day. He also connected us with a lender and helped get our financing turned around in just a few hours so we could submit a competitive offer immediately."

"Most importantly, Camden was a pleasure to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable about the Boston real estate market, and truly looks out for his clients."

Stephen P. · Relocated from San Diego. Rented first, bought the following year.

"Cam did a world-class job helping my girlfriend and I find our new home. He is well-connected in the Boston real estate community, thoughtful, responsive and most importantly trustworthy."

Daniel T. · Relocated from New York City

"In a competitive market, he was able to use his resources, extensive knowledge and diverse network to find us our dream home within our budget and in our desired neighborhood... I am so glad we got to work with him to find our first home in Boston!"
