SERVICES

 

 

Our services usually begin with an hour-long, in-depth conversation with one of our fantastic and experienced Program Managers, who takes the time to get to know you in order to learn what really matters to you. 

 

After the first conversation, we will match you with the right Quest Consultant, a regional expert who knows where to find housing, neighborhoods, schools, and anything that you might be looking for in your new community. Depending on which of our services you choose, you may receive one or more of the following:

Area Overview Tour

This in-person tour begins at a convenient location like a local coffee shop, with a highlighted map of the area that orients you to points of interest in your new neighborhood. Next our consultant will take you on a driving tour that includes everything you need—real estate, schools, parks, shops, entertainment, transportation, and more.

 

Quest's expert consultants share their thorough knowledge of the community and give you a highly responsive, customized tour based on your interests and the immediate needs of everyone in the car.

Considering a Job Offer?

Moving for work is a big deal, and finding all the information you need to make an informed decision can be overwhelming. Let us save you time, and more importantly, make sure you get an accurate picture of what life will be like for you in your new community before you say yes to the job.

 

We’ll take you on a tour of your new neighborhood, show you currently available housing samples in your price range, and answer your questions about commuting, lifestyle, local schools, and your special interests.

 

We’re ready to help you with the next steps once you say yes, but for now our team of local experts is going to make sure you know exactly what to expect should you choose to accept your job offer in a new city.

School Support

Getting to know schools in a new community can be daunting, and doing your own online research doesn’t always answer the right questions. Our up-to-date information and our local experts’ lived experiences go way beyond anything you could learn from online school ratings.

 

We’ll provide custom, easy to use resources that let you compare your school choices at a glance, and give you all of the inside information you need in order to choose and enroll in the best schools for your family.

 

Our School Support services may include: scheduling tours and assessments, liaising with administrators and admissions officers, helping you to locate the right extracurricular activities, and even introducing you to other families enrolled at your new school. Our expertise covers independent and private schools, schools for students with special needs/learning differences/IEPs, preschools, public schools, magnets, and charters.

International Settling-In

When relocating from outside of the United States, Quest services include navigating you through getting your social security number, Driver’s Education and License or State ID Card, and setting up your local bank accounts, cell phones, and utilities.

 

Additional services may include helping you to navigate U.S. credit history requirements for a rental property application, or finding local resources for members of your international community.​

​​

You may be moving far from home, but we'll make sure you have a warm and welcoming community when you get here.​

Custom Services

Like we said, every move is unique!

 

If you need concierge-level support or are looking for something that you wouldn’t normally find on a generic moving checklist, we’re ready to step up  for you when you need someone to wait for your car delivery, movers to pick up your empty boxes, and finding or supervising a handyman. Need a place to graze your horse in this new city? Trying to find groceries like back home? In search of a specialty sports club?

 

We pride ourselves on finding creative solutions to complex situations and connecting you with the trusted recommendations you need.

Video Consultation

Virtual Consultation

We’d love to show you around your new neighborhood in person, but we know that’s not always possible.

 

Meet us online, and we will start you on a self-directed rental search, helping you to learn about different neighborhoods, current market prices, ideal timing, helpful resources, the rental application process, and more.
