Baird & Warner, Illinois’ largest family-owned independent real estate services company, today announced its corporate relocation team recently won two awards at the 2021 Worldwide ERC’s® Global Workforce Symposium, the premier international conference for the corporate relocation industry. Baird & Warner was recognized by two leading global corporate relocation management firms for excellence in service.
Management consultant firm Altair Global recognized Baird & Warner as the winner of the All Star Award for Real Estate Broker Services, and global mobility firm Sterling Lexicon named Baird & Warner as winner of its Platinum Service Award, one of only two brokerages to receive that award for 2021.
“We’re honored to be recognized for our exceptional corporate relocation services and expertise in making the homebuying process easier for new employees during what has been an unpredictable year,” said Laura Ellis, president of residential sales and executive vice president of Baird & Warner. “With more than a quarter-century of helping firms get their employees where they need to be, Baird & Warner’s relocation team leveraged its expertise to adjust and adapt from what has traditionally been a very face-to-face interaction by continually asking our clients and partners what they need. These awards confirm our clients are beyond satisfied with our service.”
Altair Global presented the All Star Award to Baird & Warner for achieving the highest results in the areas of overall performance, timeliness of delivery, quality of performance, responsiveness, commitment to the customer experience and use of innovative solutions.
“We are proud of – and grateful for – the long-standing relationship and successful partnership we have built with Baird & Warner,” said Jim Edwards, senior vice president of Global Supplier Partnerships at Altair. “By connecting with prestigious and highly regarded companies like Baird & Warner, we continue to be able to provide the best experiences for our clients and customers. Baird & Warner has been a treasured partner over the last 25 years in relocation thanks to their consistent outstanding service, integrity and trust.”
A score of 100% on both satisfaction and excellence from Sterling Lexicon employees and transferees also earned Baird & Warner’s corporate relocation team the coveted Platinum Service Award. Presented at the silver, gold and platinum levels, the Sterling Lexicon awards receive multiple nominations, and Baird & Warner was one of just two brokerages to receive top honors this year.
“We’re thankful to both Altair Global and Sterling Lexicon for entrusting our professional and dynamic team that’s focused on innovation, integrity and collaboration,” said Elizabeth McGrath, vice president of relocation services at Baird & Warner. “Through our personalized and integrated one-stop-shop relocation process, Baird & Warner elevates the relocation experience and allows individuals and corporations to spend more time on their day-to-day business while we take care of the rest.”
