Many things contribute to one’s quality of life. Although we may have differences of opinion on what constitutes a great place to live, worship and work, we all agree that these factors will enhance your day-to-day life. These are the same factors that continue to attract many families to our area.

“Living in NC is easy.” That’s not the state slogan, but it could well be! All of the clients that we have worked with in the past that are relocating from outside the area are excited about moving here. Having lived here for so long, I sometimes take things for granted, but when I hear stories from those clients about the traffic problems in many California cities, the high property taxes in states like Florida, New York and New Jersey, the brutal Northeast and Midwest winters, crime and high cost of living in other locales, I am reminded to count my blessings!

Another way that quality of life is measured is through one’s spirituality. Relocating families will find many ways to express their spirituality in this area as well. One morning of watching the sun rise over the Crystal Coast or watching it set over the Great Smokey Mountain National Park is awe inspiring. One interdenominational event that I have always enjoyed is the Easter Sunday sunrise service at the NC State Capital. We are truly a diverse community. This, in large part, is due to our area’s colleges and universities as well as the many companies who have international operations in the RTP. With diversity comes understanding and compassion. We all benefit from that!

What brings people to work in North Carolina? It is said that we spend a full 1/3 of our lives in bed. How about the time one spends at work? There would be little argument that we spend the better part of what remains at work. How fortunate we are to live here! Many of the areas employers recognize that happy employees make good employees. These companies work hard to make and keep their employees happy. Beyond the now-standard benefits of flex-time, job sharing, telecommuting, etc, it is not uncommon to see companies allow nursing moms to have their new babies with them, free employee massage and/or meditation sessions, team building activities, nutrition and health services, concierge services, and pet friendly environments are now being offered. One of the ways that Buyers Advantage Group Realty is helping local small to mid-size companies compete in the recruitment arena is through our no-cost, employee relocation service benefits.

The Triangle area has been repeatedly recognized as one of the Best Places in the country to work, start a business, or look for a job. This recognition attracts the attention of top university graduates, highly talented individuals and entrepreneurs alike. Small companies, facing the challenge of continued growth, depend on competing for and securing that top talent. Buyers Advantage Group Realty can help these companies compete with larger companies, who may have substantial relocation benefits to offer, secure and retain the best talent available without cost.

Many companies appreciate the outstanding employee benefit this partnership provides their employees. We are not offering the typical relocation services. Our services start before a company has chosen the best asset to join their team. Buyers Advantage Group Realty becomes an extension of their Human Resource Division.

The second biggest decision a prospective employee will make when interviewing for a new job is whether or not their family will be happy with a move to the Triangle area. Will their quality of life improve by making the move?

Buyers Advantage Group Realty’s agents meet with prospective employees and give them a tour of the Triangle when they are here to interview for a new position. The Triangle is rated the best place to live, work, and play and we know how to demonstrate our area benefits to support the decision to relocate to the Triangle. A company makes the decision on who will be their best candidate and we make sure they say YES to living in the Triangle area.
