“Finding and purchasing the house, that’s the last piece of the puzzle. Our goal is to find the lifestyle…that meets their needs.”
• Our Director of Relocation Julie Brown will reach out to you to discuss your housing needs and to ask what will help you make a successful relocation to St. Louis. This is different for every person or family, for example schools, lifestyle needs, activities, etc.
• After speaking with Julie she will send you an online questionnaire that will help us pinpoint specific things you are looking for in your home search.
• Julie will use this information to determine the agent who is the best match for you and gives any research (schools, lifestyle, activities, etc.) to our Marketing department.
• Your agent will reach out to you and introduce themselves. They will confirm information given by Julie/the questionnaire and make notes if any changes have occurred. They will also submit any additional research that is needed to our marketing department.

The agent will schedule all of these for you and facilitate all the things that are needed to move forward from the initial contract writing to a successful closing.
Urban, suburban, rural…whatever your desire, St. Louis has it. From the downtown loft district and the Europe-meets-New York vibe of the Central West End to the friendly suburban neighborhoods and lush, rolling horse farms in West County, or maybe the historic district of St. Charles, Missouri’s first State Capitol, you’ll find the living space that works for you. Many Emerson employees choose to live along the I-64 corridor, which runs from downtown through St. Louis County and on into St. Charles County. Along the corridor, you’ll find great variation in communities and neighborhoods that will fit just about any lifestyle.
With excellent infrastructure and natural beauty all around, working in the St. Louis region is rewarding on many levels. Major highways and interstates both circle and move through St. Louis, making it relatively easy for commuters to travel between work and home. Throughout the region, you’ll find that we’re in growth mode – there’s an energy around business that makes it an exciting time to work in St. Louis.
