Certified Relocation Professional (CRP) Practice Exam

A recent college graduate is least likely to receive relocation assistance for which service?

1. Temporary living

2. Shipping household goods

3. Home purchase closing costs

4. Home finding

The correct answer is: Home purchase closing costs

In many relocation packages aimed at recent college graduates, employers often focus on providing assistance for services that will facilitate a quicker adjustment to the new job and location. Temporary living, shipping household goods, and home finding are commonly included in relocation packages as they directly support the transition into a new role and area. However, assistance with home purchase closing costs is typically less common for entry-level employees or recent graduates. This demographic may not be in a financial position to purchase a home immediately after graduation and are often expected to rent temporarily instead. Moreover, employers are more likely to cater to new hires who are relocating for professional reasons by providing resources that assist with immediate housing needs rather than long-term financial commitments like home purchases. Therefore, home purchase closing costs are generally perceived as a luxury service that employers may reserve for experienced hires, not for those just starting their careers.
