“Mare helped us to relocate from New England to Delaware Valley last autumn. It was a wonderful experience for my family. Mare was knowledgeable about the area and process, a patient and keen listener, paid close attention to our needs, had a no-pressure approach, and overall was our champion throughout the process. I highly recommend Homeward Bound and Mare’s services.”

“Again, I can't begin to tell you how important our weekend with you was to our comfort level with Philadelphia and ultimately our decision to relocate. I realize that this is your job, but I hope that you can understand and appreciate what a profound impact you have now had on the course of our lives.”
Kym Johnson
Chief Human Resources Officer

“Talk about an emotional roller coaster – I know all the academic aspects of repatriation and I know a lot of the personal experiences for people, but wow was I not ready for the culture shock of it all. Anyhow – thanks so much Mare for your support – I can’t comment enough on your help – THANKS.”

“The service and personal attention we received from Mare was exceptional and unexpected! She is NOT a realtor! This is VERY important! Regardless of how much or little time you have to relocate (we had 48 hrs to identify a community and 8 days to arrange our move) we would HIGHLY recommend Mare Rosenbaum to help you in this life changing move. We could not have asked for a better person to guide us through the process.”

“In such a short time, you’ve helped me make real substantive change in my career satisfaction. You are an attentive, thoughtful listener and really understand the challenges I'm working through.”
Pramod Thota
Director of Strategy and Development

“Mare has been a fantastic resource for me and for my family as we transitioned from Dallas to the Philadelphia region. She went above and beyond my expectations and presented me with relocation advice that took into consideration our values, preferences, tastes, and most of all our plans for our kids. We could not have been more pleased with their services, and it took my mind off the stress of moving into a new city - more importantly, they allowed me to quickly focus on my new job and hit the ground running. Additionally, her post relocation activities such as the spouses’ luncheon, is a tremendous resource for them to meet similar people and develop relationships that can very well extend beyond the Philadelphia association. I fully recommend her services to any corporate relocation effort.”

FMC CORPORATION
“We use Mare to assist our new and transferring employees. Her approach, based on personal experience, is to take into account all of the obvious and more subtle needs of a family as they embark on a new chapter in life. She provides much more than a tour by prioritizing, assessing and anticipating a family's needs in a new location. I highly recommend Mare to any organization looking to provide a "soft landing" for their employees.”
Ravi Ramachandran
Contract Manufacturing Manager
FMC CORPORATION
“Mare is a sensitive, detail-oriented and thinking person who gets to understand the needs of the transferee and his/her family. She is patient and understands that the client has gradually evolving needs as they understand the new environment. She is thorough with her work a very pleasing conversationalist. The amount of personalization that she does makes one feel at home.”

“Since leaving my home country in 1996, I lived in 6 different locations in Europe and America. With this move we had issues that remained unclear and were dangerously close to falling between the cracks. Mare Rosenbaum understood the situation quickly, clarified who was doing what and took the lead. After her intervention, we could go on with our move and set the table for our new life. She understood our needs and her leadership made it easier.
The house hunting trip was really well organized and we received all the information we needed, timely. When we arrived in Pennsylvania, I met with Mare several times. She made sure I was feeling well and patiently answered all my questions.
For the first time, with this move, Mare gave me the opportunity to meet people within a month of my arrival. This is special and rarely seen. Most relocation companies will give you organization name, but will never get involved and no follow up.
Of course, I still get lost while driving, but I feel confident, my family is back on track, we can turn the page and start a new happy chapter in our life. A happily relocated spouse!”
Emilie Shishido
Global Marketing Manager, BioPolymer

“Mare was the best part of my relocation package. After the first detailed interview we had, we were off and running. Everything was thought of – possible residential locations, the resources I would need and amenities that I may have to consider – even details that I overlooked myself.
As a single female moving into Philly alone, the advice and the tailored search radius I got from her was invaluable. I felt safe and educated about my new surroundings.”
Parul Srivastava
Spouse, Global Active Ingredient Planner
FMC CORPORATION
“The warmth with which Mare Rosenbaum handled our relocation from India to US was overwhelming. She is uniquely gifted to relate to people of different cultures and backgrounds. And this includes kids as well. She happens to be my kids’ first friend in this country!
Mare did everything possible for our smooth transition. Her preparation and planning started after a detailed conversation with us while we were still in India.
Mare was aware of the difficulties associated with the relocation and would always guide us with her invaluable advice.
