➜ Employee Relocation Housing

Nobody should choose a neighborhood from a listing photograph two states away. Licandro Management gives relocating employees a comfortable place to land in the Quad Cities, so the decision about where to actually live gets made after they have driven the streets themselves and seen the place properly.

THE WORST HOUSING DECISIONS GET MADE IN A HURRY.

Relocation compresses enormous choices into a few weeks. People sign leases in the wrong school district, buy houses on the wrong side of a commute, or leave a family behind because the timing did not work. Interim housing removes that pressure by giving everyone a real base while the permanent decision gets made properly.


That base needs to be genuinely livable, not a holding pen. Furnished units with room for a family, a reasonable commute, and a lease that ends when it should are what make the arrangement work.

  • Interim stays while a permanent home is chosen
  • Furnished options sized for families, not just individuals
  • Neighborhood and school guidance from people who live here
  • Lease terms that end when the move does

➜ EMPLOYEE RELOCATION HOUSING

LET THEM LEARN THE CITY BEFORE THEY COMMIT TO A STREET.

Every town looks the same from a search results page. It takes a few weeks on the ground to learn that one route is impossible in winter, that a particular neighborhood empties out after dark, or that the school everybody recommends sits 40 minutes from the office. A relocating employee who has that time makes a far better permanent decision, and stays with the company longer for having made it.

A REGION THAT REWARDS KNOWING IT.

The Quad Cities span two states, several distinct river towns, and a wide range of housing from downtown lofts to quiet suburban streets in Bettendorf and Eldridge. Tax questions, school boundaries, and bridge traffic all shift depending on which side someone settles on. That local detail is exactly what a newcomer cannot reliably research from a distance before the moving truck is booked.

13 YEARS OF HELPING PEOPLE SETTLE HERE.

Placing tenants across Davenport and the surrounding communities for 13 years gives us a practical read on where different households thrive. We can say which areas suit young families, where a short commute to a particular employer is realistic, and which streets are quieter than they look on a map. That guidance comes free with the placement, and it saves a newcomer months of trial and error. Want help getting someone settled?

WHAT INTERIM HOUSING DOES FOR A RELOCATION.

Confident Starts

New hires arrive to somewhere prepared rather than a hotel and a rental car. Starting the job rested and organized shapes the first impression in both directions.

Time to Choose the Right Home

Weeks of living in the area beat hours of browsing listings. People choose better neighborhoods, better commutes, and better houses when the decision is not made under time pressure.

Families Settle Together

Partners and children can come along from the start instead of waiting out the transition in another state. Keeping the household together makes the whole relocation far less fragile.

Local Knowledge Included

Questions about schools, commutes, grocery runs, and which side of the river suits a household get answered by people who actually live and work here every day.

No Rushed Purchases

Buying a house in the first month of a new job is a large bet on limited information. Interim housing lets that decision wait until it can be made with confidence.

A Clean Exit

When the permanent home is ready, the temporary arrangement ends cleanly. No overlapping obligations, no scramble, and no furniture to dispose of on the way out.

➜ WHAT WE SET UP

OUR RELOCATION HOUSING WORK

Relocations vary as much as the people making them. A single engineer arriving ahead of a family needs something different from a household moving together with two children and a dog. These are the arrangements we handle.

SOFT LANDING

Interim Housing for New Hires

A furnished unit ready on the start date lets a new employee focus on the job rather than logistics. The arrangement runs for as long as the permanent search realistically takes.

HOUSE HUNTING

Home Search Support Stays

Weekends spent touring neighborhoods work far better from a local base than from a hotel two hours away. Staying in the region turns the search into something manageable rather than a series of trips.

FAMILY MOVES

Family Relocation Accommodations

Households moving together need bedrooms, storage, and somewhere for children to be children. We search for layouts that hold a whole family comfortably through what is already an unsettling few months.

SCHOOL ZONES

Neighborhood and School Guidance

Where a family lands temporarily often shapes where they buy. We share what we know about attendance areas, commute patterns, and the character of different communities so the eventual choice is informed.

LEASE BRIDGE

Bridge Stays Between Closings

Closing dates rarely align neatly. A short bridging placement covers the gap between selling one home and taking possession of the next without anyone living out of a storage unit.

PET FRIENDLY

Relocating With Animals

Moving states with a dog or cat narrows the options considerably. Pet requirements are raised at the start so the shortlist only includes properties that will genuinely accept the whole household.

➜ Common Questions

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

Relocation raises questions that are as much about the region as about the housing. These are the ones employees and their employers ask us most often before a move.

  • How long do relocating employees usually stay in interim housing?

    Most stay somewhere between 1 and 6 months, long enough to learn the area and complete a permanent home search. The right length depends on the market, the family, and how quickly a purchase closes.

  • Should the employee arrive before the family?

    Many do, particularly when a school year is midway through. Others move together and use the interim period to settle everyone at once. Both work, and the housing can be sized either way.

  • Which side of the river should a relocating family look at?

    It depends on schools, commute, and personal preference more than anything else. Licandro Management knows both the Iowa and Illinois sides well and can talk through what Davenport, IA and its neighbors each offer.

  • Can interim housing be extended if a home purchase falls through?

    Usually, and it happens often enough that we plan for it. Early notice gives the best chance of extending the current unit rather than arranging a second move mid-relocation.

  • What if the employee decides to rent rather than buy?

    That is a common outcome, and we can help with it directly. Licandro Management manages rental property throughout Davenport, IA, so an interim stay sometimes leads straight into a permanent lease.

  • Is furnished or unfurnished better for a relocation?

    Furnished suits most interim stays, since household goods are usually in transit or storage. Unfurnished can make sense for longer arrangements where a shipment arrives early and the stay runs several months.

  • How much notice do you need before an employee arrives?

    A few weeks gives the widest choice, though shorter timelines are frequently workable. The tighter the notice, the more the search narrows to whatever is genuinely available on those exact dates.

  • Can the company handle the arrangement rather than the employee?

    Yes. Employers frequently take on the agreement and the details so the person moving can concentrate on the job and the household. We work with whichever party is responsible for it.

➜ HOW WE WORK 

FROM OFFER LETTER TO MOVING DAY, HERE IS HOW.

STEP 01

WE UNDERSTAND THE MOVE

Start date, household composition, worksite, pets, and whether a permanent home search is already underway. Those five details set the length, size, and location of the interim arrangement we set out to find.

STEP 02

WE SUGGEST AREAS

Before touring anything, we talk through the region honestly: which communities suit which households, where the commutes are painless, and where a family is likely to want to end up permanently once they know it.

STEP 03

WE SHORTLIST HOMES

Properties that fit the family, the budget, and the timeline come back with the details attached. Nothing on the list is unavailable, and nothing has been included simply to pad out the list.

STEP 04

WE ARRANGE THE STAY

Terms are set to match the expected relocation timeline, with room to extend. Whoever is responsible, the employer or the employee, gets an agreement written in plain language that makes sense on a first read.

STEP 05

WE HELP THEM LAND

Arrival covers more than keys. We point out grocery stores, routes to work, school offices, and the practical local things that take a newcomer weeks to work out on their own after moving.

STEP 06

WE SUPPORT THE NEXT MOVE

As the permanent search progresses, we adjust. Extending the stay, ending it on the closing date, or moving the household into one of our own rentals are all straightforward to arrange from here.
