About AECC Mobility
About AECC Mobility: A Relocation Expense Management Company
Business Driven. Human Focused.
Two simple phrases have shaped AECC’s foundation. For more than 35 years, we have expanded our corporate relocation expense management and employee home sale services, and we have grown as a company.
Evolving Relocation Expense Management Services
As corporate relocation programs evolve, AECC Mobility adjusts our approach and methods with the changing needs of our clients, their human resources departments, and transferees. What doesn’t change is our purpose. Consistent value is at the center of all we do.
Owner-Led Company
As a privately held relocation expense management company, AECC’s executives are also owners. That matters. It gives our leaders the freedom to think differently, challenge the status quo, and find creative solutions for our clients. We are supported by experienced advisors and board members who share our entrepreneurial mindset. Our executive team stands behind every decision because they are invested in our success.
Custom Relocation Expense Management Solutions
“One-size fits all” is not how we work. Our clients and their teams have unique corporate relocation expense management needs. Changes come from new laws and regulations, as well as from the evolving relocation and global mobility needs, preferences, and cultures of every workforce. We design our offerings to reflect that reality, and not rely on generic templates.
The AECC Mobility Mission
To be the premier provider of financial-related services and solutions to the mobility industry.
Our values are inherent in everything we do as a relocation expense management company, from how we work with our partners and the families we serve to those within our own company. These are the five values that we truly strive for every single day here at AECC Mobility.
We believe continuous improvement, both professionally and personally, is the key to lasting success.
We work in a team building spirit – we celebrate success and wins together
We deliver “WOW” service by listening to the needs of our customers and providing timely solutions
We are inclusive, fair, and respectful of all
We embrace change and pursue growth and learning opportunities
The History of AECC Mobility
35+ Years of Service For the Relocation Industry
Herb Seeger - AECC Founder
Herbert L. Seeger Jr., a relocation industry veteran and pioneer who began his relocation career with Employee Transfer Corporation, founded AECC in 1989. He recognized a need for a service-oriented company that would exclusively focus on and provide exemplary closing and financial services for corporate employee relocations. To meet this need, Seeger and a select group of private investors founded American Escrow & Closing Company (AECC).
With his vision and the guidance of a Board comprised of industry leaders as well as financial and legal experts, AECC became one of the first (if not the first) specialty providers of home acquisition and resale closing services for the relocation industry.
Since its humble beginnings, AECC has grown into a leading provider of financial support services to the mobility industry. AECC has helped numerous relocation management companies and in-house corporate teams bring sound financial solutions and strategies to their mobility programs. AECC remains a privately held corporation today with 100% independence to ensure no conflicts of interest and with full transparency on all transactions.
For more than 35 years, AECC has provided service and professional expertise to companies of all sizes – from the Fortune 500 to small private corporations.
Today, AECC continues to operate with the entrepreneurial spirit of Herbert L. Seeger, Jr. We are motivated and excited to expand his legacy with a complete suite of financial services. AECC has always recognized the importance of remaining neutral, free of ties and conflicts within the supply chain, as we work to expand the independent services and solutions we offer to the mobility needs of our partners and clients. We remain focused on our core deliverables and limit the extent to which we are involved in the mobility supply chain to ensure we operate only in the best interest of the client.
Our team of specialists carries this entrepreneurial spirit with them and is conscious that the decisions they make have a lasting impact on the people they work for each day. Encouraged to envision and vet new ideas, we firmly believe our staff separates us from other organizations. The landscape in front of all of us is continually changing, and AECC works diligently to add solutions to address the mobility needs of our clients. AECC does not shy away from change. We embrace it.
The AECC Leadership Team
Talented and tenured, our staff has the drive to make our company a success. We demonstrate the commitment to excellence with a multitude of credentials and licenses. We believe that skill and experience are very important; however, we also look deeper. Our ongoing training provides the technical expertise, but customer focus and empathy for those enduring the stress of relocation is purely in the DNA of the employees we interview and hire. People with a commitment to helping others. They commit to helping our clients’ employees and partners, and we, in turn, support them in the civic and charitable initiatives, which are their passions.
