Facebook Relocation, Selling Home

Hey there Blind Fam! If I need to sell my house for a relocation, does FB help out with that? Is that something I can negotiate? Appreciate the tips! No offer yet, just checking flexibility. Aiming for M0 level position.

Lots of companies offer to make you whole if you end up taking a loss on your house during a relo but I can’t imagine they’ll do much more than that.

What do you want covered? Chances are it won't be sold for a loss, highly unlikely they will cover agent fees, you might be able to ask for an all up relocation bonus but it's pretty much just signing bonus. I believe they can help you find an agent to buy a home and deal with all of the moving fees though.

Yeah I'm just looking to see if they will keep me from losing on a sale. Not sure of options and where I can negotiate to make sure that doesn't happen. Thanks for the relocation bonus tip!

They have a standard relocation package, 10k for 1 person, 25k for family. Out of that, you can use the deduct the money for closing costs and etc tax free. Whatever is remaining, you can cash it out but pay taxes.

Never sell real estate (just my .02)

Blanket absolutism

Yeah, terrible advise if your goal is to continuously achieve max return on capital

If you’re senior enough at Microsoft they will pay for an agent to sell your home cover up to $60,000 of closing costs and also pay all closing costs to buy a new home

Time to submit a resume lol. Thanks!

Often as part of negotiation, if you asked for more or had counter offers or were looking to wait for other interviews such as Google, one of the easiest things they would up is sign on. Upwards of 100k won't be big for people at M0, likely higher

Cerner wsic48 OP Feb 14, 2019

Up to 100k sign on bonus? Wow... I'll consider upping the sign on - thanks!

typically this is only done at executive level
