It may be cold and gray out there right now, but the rental and relocation market has been anything but chilly. As a result, our relocation team has been staying busy this year–even during these winter months.

In the past, we’ve often seen a dip in new hires during the winter. But this year, hiring at companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Google has kept going strong, which means there’s a continued market for the rental housing units we represent at Seattle Rental Group.

Our agents are out every week, scouring Seattle for the perfect home for new residents. Recently, we’ve had a lot of young professionals interested in 1-2 bedroom apartments or condos in the Seattle area. With all these new hires, rental units are often only sitting on the market for a week or two, meaning it’s a great time to be a landlord!
