An employee move serves two customers at once: the company paying for a smooth, policy-compliant transfer, and the family living through one of life's more stressful weeks. We are built to satisfy both, with managed booking and clean billing on the company side, and a genuinely good move on the family's. The transfer succeeds when the employee's family barely remembers the logistics, and that is the design goal.
Policy compliance and tidy invoices on one side; a patient, well-run household move on the other. Both are the job.
Transfers Succeed When the Move Disappears
Companies relocate people to solve business problems, and a botched household move un-solves them: a stressed new hire, a delayed start date, an HR inbox full of escalations. Royalty Moving & Storage runs employee relocations as a managed service: HR or the relocation manager initiates, we coordinate directly with the employee, the move executes inside the company's policy, covered services, caps, approvals, and the invoice arrives clean, itemized, and matched to the authorization. The format works for one transfer a year or a steady pipeline of them: the company sets the policy once, and every subsequent move inherits it automatically.
For the family, it is simply an excellent move: a real survey, a flat plan, professional packing where the policy covers it, careful transport local or interstate, and a coordinator who answers questions without routing them through the employer. Storage bridges housing gaps, and start dates anchor the schedule. Temporary-housing situations get handled too: partial deliveries to the interim apartment, with the balance held in storage until the permanent home closes.
Six pieces of a transfer move, handled between company and crew. Every piece exists to remove a specific friction that HR teams know by heart.
Policy-Bound Execution
Every move runs inside your relocation policy: included services, spending caps, and approval gates respected automatically. Out-of-policy requests route back for approval before they happen, never after.
Direct Employee Coordination
We work with the family directly on dates and details, so HR manages a program instead of a thousand questions. The family gets a person, not a portal.
Inbound and Outbound
Talent arriving to Puget Sound and staff departing for other markets both ride the same managed process. Policy and pricing stay identical in both directions.
Start-Date Anchoring
The schedule builds backward from the first day of work, because that date is the entire point of the move. If the start date moves, the whole schedule moves with it, one call from HR.
Housing-Gap Storage
When the new home lags the new job, households hold in our storage and deliver when keys arrive.
Clean Company Billing
Itemized invoices matched to authorizations, with no employee reimbursement paperwork unless your policy wants it.
Four steps from authorization to a settled household. HR's total time per transfer drops to minutes: authorize, receive the confirmation, receive the invoice.
01
Company Authorizes
HR or the manager initiates with the policy scope and the start date.
02
We Engage the Family
Survey, dates, and details handled directly and patiently with the employee.
03
The Move Executes
Packing, transport, and delivery inside policy, local or interstate.
Employee moves run inbound and outbound across the metro, connecting Puget Sound with company locations nationwide. The most common patterns are inbound tech and healthcare transfers arriving to the region, and outbound moves following companies to other markets; both are daily work here.
Handing employees a stipend outsources the risk to your newest hire. A relocation stipend looks like flexibility and feels like abandonment around day three of vetting movers.

Make the Transfer the Easy Part
One authorization starts a managed move that reflects well on everyone. Policies of any maturity work: from a formal program to a simple per-move authorization.
The company authorizes a scope, the move executes inside it, and one itemized invoice arrives matched to the authorization. Lump-sum and employee-contribution policies are accommodated where your program uses them. Volume programs get rate agreements so per-move pricing is predictable across the year.
2. Can employees customize their move?
Within policy, yes: dates, packing levels, and storage choices flex to the family, and anything beyond the covered scope is quoted to them transparently before it happens.
3. Do you handle moves into Seattle as well as out?
Both directions constantly: inbound talent arriving to Puget Sound and outbound staff heading to other markets ride the same managed process and the same long-distance operation. New arrivals also get the soft-landing basics on request: a settled-in essentials unpack so the first workweek starts from a functional home.
4. What if the employee's new housing is not ready by the start date?
The household loads on schedule, holds in our secure storage, and delivers when the home closes. The job starts on time either way, which is the outcome everyone is paying for. The interim period is invisible to the employer: one authorization still produces one invoice.
5. How much lead time does a transfer move need?
Two to three weeks runs comfortably; urgent transfers compress when business demands it. Call (206) 278-2134 with the start date and we will build backward from it.
6. Can you support a whole group of relocating employees?
Yes, through our corporate relocation program: centralized coordination, consistent service, and consolidated reporting across the entire group. Group timing can stagger or synchronize, whichever the business calendar prefers.
7. Are you licensed and insured for corporate-paid moves?
Fully. Royalty Moving & Storage operates under Washington UBI #605117720 and household goods permit THG070945, with documentation your procurement team can verify.
