Today I have four tips to share if you’re moving out of the area or state:

1. Talk to your agent. The real estate agent selling your house will have referrals in their database of agents in other areas, both in your state and outside of it. I have tons of referrals for Realtors I’ve worked with in other states.

2. Groups of real estate agents. This is another excellent resource to use. For example, I work with a VA representative (Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals). They have over 40 chapters all over the country, and I’ve met them at conferences, spoken to them on the phone, and know their history. I’ve also worked with the Women’s Council of Realtors. These are fantastic resources. There are different organizations that your agent is either a member of or knows, and they have people who could be amazing resources to help you find a new property.

Your real estate agent will have contacts in their database for great Realtors in other areas.

3. The agent contacts the client. The out-of-area Realtor will contact the buyer moving to their area and have a long conversation about where they’re going to work, the school districts, different areas and cities nearby, and more. Then they’ll help the client make decisions based on their needs. These needs could include traffic concerns, activities they’re involved in, price, etc.

4. Find a national lender. If you’re selling your home from somewhere else, you’ll need a national lender, someone who is licensed in the state you’ve come from to the state you’re moving to. This will make the transaction a lot smoother than having to go through two different lenders.

These are just a few tips if you’re moving to a different area or state, but there are many more. Contact us if you’re interested in hearing more about this topic.
