Taking Relocation Personally: NRI Relocation is Corporate Relocation Done Right
Taking Relocation Personally
For over 40 years, NRI Relocation has supported organizations moving employees across the U.S. and internationally. Since 1985, we have offered the personal service and accountability of a mid-sized provider, along with the resources, expertise, and technology needed for complex corporate relocation and global mobility.
NRI Relocation stands out because we are a fully independent relocation management company. We are not owned by a van line, real estate company, or any other relocation service. This means our recommendations are always based on what’s best for our clients and their employees.
At NRI Relocation, we believe in Taking Relocation Personally. Each move is more than just a transaction. It’s a major life event for employees and their families. Corporate relocation has a real impact on careers and business results. Our experienced relocation consultants, custom mobility programs, trusted relocation service suppliers, and unique relocation portals and technology help organizations offer a better relocation experience. We balance that with keeping costs, compliance, and performance on track.
Whether you need help with one executive move, a growing recruitment effort, or a global mobility plan across several countries, NRI Reocation offers the flexibility, expertise, and personal accountability that can be hard to find with larger or smaller providers.
What Makes NRI Relocation the Best Relocation Management Company
Not all relocation management companies are the same. When you compare RMC partners, their structure, independence, and service model directly affect the quality of service your employees get and the total cost of your relocation program.
NRI Relocation combines three things that are difficult to find in a single relocation services provider:
| Independent RMC. No obligations. | Mid-size relocation company by design. | Custom mobility programs, not cookie-cutter policies. |
| NRI Relocation is a fully independent RMC. We are not owned by a van line, real estate company, temporary housing provider, or private equity group. Since we have no ownership ties to suppliers, our vendor recommendations focus on service quality, location, cost, and employee experience, not corporate connections. | NRI Relocation manages about 2,500 relocations each year. This scale gives our clients the infrastructure, supplier network, and reporting expected from a top RMC, while still offering the quick response, customization, and accountability of a smaller company. Clients can reach experienced relocation consultants directly and easily escalate issues. | Every organization has its own priorities for relocating employees. NRI creates custom relocation programs that fit the organization’s workforce, budget, culture, and needs. We can tailor programs by employee level, type of move, homeowner or renter status, domestic or international moves, included services, different family structures, and key hiring needs. |
Who is NRI Relocation?
Founded in 1985, NRI Relocation is a privately held, independent relocation management company based in the United States. For over 40 years, we have helped organizations of all sizes move employees across the country and around the world, from single important hires to large-scale mobility programs.
NRI Relocation’s philosophy is simple: Taking Relocation Personally. We treat every employee move as a meaningful life event, not just a transaction. We are accessible, responsive, and accountable to both clients and the employees we relocate. We also build long-term partnerships with organizations that want an extension of their team, not just a vendor.

How NRI Relocation Compares to Other RMCs
When looking for a relocation management company, organizations often have to choose between large firms with extensive resources and small providers with personal service but limited reach. NRI Relocation delivers a balance between these two options.
| Large RMC | NRI Relocation | Boutique Firm | |
| Independence | Often owned by a van line, real estate, or private equity. Possible supplier conflicts. | Fully independent, no ownership ties, no supplier obligations | Independent, but limited supplier network |
| Vendor selection | May favor affiliated or captive vendors | Always selects the best-fit vendors for the client and employee | Selective, but limited network |
| Program customization | Standardized programs with limited flexibility | Fully customized policy design and program structure | High customization, but limited scalability |
| Policy expertise | Policy templates, limited consulting | Deep policy consulting: benchmarking, tier design, custom programs | More limited expertise |
| Service model | Account teams, high case volume, and less direct access | Dedicated relocation consultant for each transferee, named account leadership, and executive access | High touch, but may lack resources and process structure |
| Technology | Robust platforms, but over-reliance on portals and tech-driven processes | Personal service enhanced with ReloHub® proprietary relocation portal: move tracking, reporting, cost visibility, AI tools | Personal services, but minimal or third-party tools |
| Global mobility reach | Extensive global infrastructure | 25+ countries via a vetted global partner network | Limited or regional only |
| Program scale | High volume, enterprise focus | ~2,500 moves/year: meaningful scale with mid-size attention. Best for all business sizes. | Low volume, limited infrastructure, cannot serve beyond small businesses |
| Responsiveness | Slower escalation paths, less direct access | Proactive service from a personal consultant, direct access to leadership, and fast escalation | Highly responsive, but capacity-limited |
| Best RMC for | Very large enterprise programs with global complexity | Small, medium, and enterprise businesses with domestic relocation and global mobility programs that value service, independence, and customization | Very small relocation programs with highly specialized needs |
Why Global Mobility and HR Managers Choose NRI Relocation
HR and Global Mobility leaders need more than a relocation vendor. They need a relocation management company that can provide an overall positive employee experience.
Independent Supplier Model: No Conflicts of Interest
NRI Relocation works with a carefully selected network of corporate relocation service suppliers for moving, real estate, temporary housing, destination services, immigration, expense management, and more. Since we are not tied to any van line or housing provider, we choose suppliers based on quality, location, service, and the transferee’s specific needs.
Policy Expertise: From Design to Administration
A successful program starts with a well-designed relocation policy. NRI Relocation partners with HR and Global Mobility teams to develop relocation programs that balance talent goals with financial considerations. Our relocation consultants use decades of industry experience and market benchmarking to create policies that fit our clients’ culture and continue to support those programs as they evolve over time.
Personal Service Combined with Technology
NRI Relocation combines dedicated relocation support with technology created to improve visibility and efficiency. Every relocating employee is assigned a dedicated relocation consultant and access to ReloHub®, NRI Relocation’s proprietary relocation management platform. This approach balances both personalized guidance and real-time access to relocation information, reporting, and program data.
Scalable for Your Program Size
NRI Relocation supports organizations ranging from occasional executive relocations to programs managing hundreds of employee moves annually. Our consultants can scale our clients’ relocation programs as they grow or change. Clients benefit from greater accessibility and responsiveness than they may receive from large RMCs while gaining more structure, supplier reach, reporting capabilities, and technology than many boutique providers can offer.
Direct Access to Leadership
Clients have a clear account leader who handles governance, reporting, service reviews, and any issues that come up. Our leadership team is always involved, so our clients always have direct access when they need advice, help solving problems, or a program review.

- You want a relocation partner with no supplier ownership conflicts and no captive vendor obligations
- You manage between 5 and 500 moves per year, domestically or globally
- You value having a dedicated consultant assigned to each employee, not a rotating help desk
