What does a relocation counselor do?

The duties of a relocation counselor or consultant are to oversee the relocation process of a business or residential client. Some people in this position work for city, state, or federal housing authorities, and their responsibilities are to provide information and administrative assistance for residents who are moving from one facility or area to another. They help arrange transport, arrange new housing, schedule transfer of utilities, and complete other paperwork. A relocation consultant who works for a private business has similar duties, typically helping a company move employees to a new location.
