If you’ve ever had to move because of a job-related transfer, then you have experienced firsthand the multitude of detail and preparation necessary for such a move, not to mention the emotional upheaval and physical wear and tear this relocation makes. Now imagine that your transfer brings you and your family to a different continent with a completely different culture, and you can only begin to imagine the multiple impact of this employment-related affect on your lives. Understanding the sensitive needs of such a move, 12 years ago Charles Blumenkehl, President of Blue Realty / GMAC, and Sumiko Ko Hwang, Vice President of International Relocation with the firm, created AOI FUDOSAN (pronounced AH-OH-EE, which means Blue Realty in Japanese) a division of Blue Realty / GMAC. AOI specializes entirely on Asian relocation, and has served major international corporations including Sharp, Sony, Panasonic and numerous other major bicoastal corporations in assisting the transfer of all levels of their employees, from mid-management to the CEO.
According to Blumenkehl, “We have created a unique and effective system that is sensitive to and understanding of the needs of the transferee and their family. We simplify the process through technology and the Internet before the family comes to the United States and combine their needs with an in-depth local knowledge and the full resources of GMAC Global Relocation behind it”. According to Sumiko Ko Hwang, “Mr. Blumenkehl and I share a high standard of quality service that allows us to provide the necessary services for the demanding area of international relocation. We provide the highest level of premier service and integrity to our clients and they appreciate it”.
The division provides relocation services in several dialects, including Japanese and Mandarin Chinese. AOI provides real estate, rental, corporate housing, temporary lodging and consultative services to companies and their employees around the world.
If you would like to request an international relocation package or have any questions regarding real estate, you may call Sumiko and her staff at (888)FUDOSAN or visit the division’s website at www.bluerealty.com and click on “About us”.
