Residential Properties Ltd. offers new program for military personnel

Residential Properties Ltd. and Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE) have teamed up to provide the state's military personnel with a new service. The program, "Military on the Move," offers active duty, retired, and wounded service members special benefits for real estate services, including a cash rebate or credit at closings. In addition, the program provides discounts for select ancillary products and other home-related items, including household goods and mortgage services. Residential Properties Ltd. is currently the only agency in the state to offer Military on the Move. "Rhode Island has a high concentration of active duty and retired military personnel," said Elizabeth Messier, the RPL relocation director. "The program connects these service men and women with our market-leading real estate professionals and allows them to benefit financially from special rebates and pricing on other value-added services." Whether the cash rebate is used towards movers, appraisals, or closing costs, the service is a coordinated effort by our relocation division to make the process of moving as simple as possible for military personnel. Messier will be on the September 16th edition of CEO Sally Lapides' radio show, "Real Estate Insight," to discuss the program further. The show will air at 10:00 a.m. on WHJJ Radio, which is 920 AM. More information on the Military on the Move program may be found at http://www.usmilitaryonthemove.com/. Residential Properties Ltd. has been serving sellers and buyers of distinctive properties since 1981 through service, innovation and sheer hard work. The company, with five offices located in Barrington, Cumberland, East Greenwich, Narragansett and Providence, services all of Rhode Island, the Connecticut shoreline and southeastern and central Massachusetts. In addition, the relocation department assists buyers and sellers on transactions throughout the country.
