Purchase or Rental. Uniforms shall be purchased or may be rented where the best price advantages can be obtained consistent with the quality and uniformity required within the Division.
Purchase or Rental. Home Purchase If you want to purchase a home in the new location, your Relocation Counselor will help you with this process. Buying a home is a personal decision and while Copart is not reimbursing any of the costs to purchase a home, we are providing guidance and assistance through Cornerstone. Your Cornerstone Relocation Counselor will first conduct a needs assessment and develop a preference profile including type of housing, commuting requirements, schools, amenities, lifestyle, etc. Once the profile is developed, the Counselor will have a preapproved broker/agent contact you to begin the home search. This representative will accompany you to preview specific homes and assist you in preparing an offer once you have found a home. If your hiring manager or a fellow Copart employee refers you to a real estate agent, DO NOT CONTACT that agent until you speak with your Relocation Counselor. Employee referrals are strongly discouraged because of the potential for a conflict of interest. The agents/brokers recommended by Cornerstone’s Counselors are vetted and evaluated. This means that they are experts in assessing your housing preferences and are professional “Buyer Agents” trained and evaluated on representing your interests, not the interest of the seller who is ultimately paying their commission. This is an important distinction because if they are not a “buyer’s agent”, even if they show you the home, they are still representing the interests of the seller who is paying their commission and not looking out for your best interests. In addition, Cornerstone’s agents are familiar with both the wide range of market areas that a relocating employee will consider, as well as the individual neighborhoods and micro-markets. Their expertise affords them the knowledge to refer you to locations where the availability of housing, price ranges and neighborhood amenities match your preferences. Your Cornerstone Counselor will be in regular contact with you and your agent throughout the home search process to provide assistance and advice in negotiating an offer, obtaining pre-qualification letters from our approved mortgage lenders and helping you and your agent manage the escrow and closing process. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the agent(s) we have recommended, please call your Relocation Counselor and let him/her know. We will quickly remedy the situation and get a replacement agent(s) for you to meet with and evaluate for your home finding needs. U...
