RELO NYC and The Maison International Team at Compass are partnering to bring local, experienced agents into RELO NYC. Users relocating to New York can fill in their apartment search criteria through the platform and get connected directly to a human agent who covers both rentals and sales.
Last week, we announced our private beta, and we mentioned working with vetted local partners. Maison International is an integral part of that partner network because finding real estate in New York is one of the most challenging aspects of the relocation process. The search is clouded with all sorts of noise, advertisements, and shiny distractions. It’s fun to dream about all of New York’s wonderful neighborhoods and apartments, but when it comes to actually locking one down and balancing tough choices like location, cost, and space in the midst of steep competition it’s important to have a high quality real estate professional in your corner.
New York is notorious for having apartment listings with lines of prospective tenants or buyers literally standing outside the door. This is where having a local pro on your side makes a difference. If you have the resources to hire a broker, it’s often worth it for access to off-market deals, the confidence to say when something is truly a good deal, and the on-the-ground presence to represent you if you’re not physically in town yet.
Why Maison International
Maison International has closed over 10,000 transactions across 32+ years in New York City real estate, with deep experience guiding people moving here from across the country and around the globe. As a team affiliated with Compass, they combine hands-on local expertise with the backing of the city’s largest residential brokerage — the search tools, market data, and infrastructure that come with it. As a software company ourselves, partnering with a team this tech-forward felt like a natural fit.
RELO NYC is in the business of managing relocations end-to-end with technology, and we are thrilled to strategically partner with respected teams like Maison International for the parts of the process where human, on-the-ground support is essential.
