Military Relocation in DND & Real Estate


by Roger Frost


The IRP aims to make relocation easy and efficient, centralizing the administration of a relocation with a single contractor, Brookfield GRS, with the exception of physical removal of Household Goods and Effects, administered under the Household Goods and Services Removal contract.

Using a Professional Realtor to help you set your selling price is imperative. If you set the price too high, your house won't be picked for viewing, even though it may be much nicer than other homes on the street. You may have told your REALTOR to "Bring me any offer. Frankly, I'd take less." But compared to other houses for sale, your home simply looks too expensive to be considered.

Audrey & Mike are REALTORS committed to providing transferring members with service beyond their expectation. Remember, with Mike as a former Military member and with his wife Susan & family successfully completed 3 HHT's (House Hunting Trips). Audrey & Mike are approved suppliers to the DND and RCMP IRP program officially called the Brookfield Global Relocation Services (was called RLRS or Royal LePage Relocation Services).

When Military personnel relocate they usually purchase a home, they are faced with a multitude of decisions! The primary one is whether you are actually prepared to purchase a home and at what price. Locating the perfect home is not always an easy task, and obtaining a mortgage loan can be a complex and tiring process. Although, once you have determined that you are ready to move forward contact our trained professionals who can assist you with every aspect of your transfer.

All DND and IRP personnel are typically entitled to a HHT ( house hunting trip ) which allows you to secure accommodation at the new place of duty with the intent of ensuring a door-to-door move, thereby: reducing the interim lodgings, meals, and miscellaneous expenses, and eliminating unnecessary storage in transit costs.

To ensure you are not rushed or are not able to secure professional services prior to travelling our Military and DND service personnel will also provide contacts with experts in mortgages and home inspections. As a client your needs are our primary concern and our team is ready and willing to assist you.
