Moving Out of State? Hereā€™s How to Find a Realtor You Can Actually Trust!
Thinking about moving out of Georgia? Whether you’re relocating to be closer to family, downsizing to a smaller home, or looking for a 55+ community that better fits your lifestyle, one important question is: How do I find a good real estate agent in another state?
It’s a great question. After all, you’re not just hiring someone to handle paperwork. You’re trusting them with a huge financial and emotional transition. You want someone who truly understands your needs, not just someone who happens to pop up in a Google search.
That’s where I come in.
Because I’ve been in corporate America, I learned a lot about behavioral interviewing, asking questions that help reveal how people actually handle challenges. When I screen agents in other states for my clients, I don’t just pick the first person who answers the phone. I ask questions like:
“Tell me about a time you helped someone buy from out of state. What were some of the challenges, and how did you handle them?”
The idea is simple: the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. So, if an agent has already successfully helped clients in situations similar to yours, it’s a good sign they’ll handle your move smoothly, too.
Once I’ve vetted several agents, I will send you the list of my top picks. You get to interview them and decide who feels like the best fit. You stay in control the entire time.
And here’s something most people don’t realize, when you work with an out-of-state agent that I refer you to, there’s no additional cost to you. If you decide to hire that agent, their brokerage pays a referral fee to mine. It’s simply how agents share business and make sure clients are taken care of everywhere.
So if you’re starting to think about moving out of state and aren’t sure who to call, start with me. I’ll help you find a trustworthy professional who knows your destination market, and I’ll make sure you have someone who treats you with the same level of care I do.
Because moving shouldn’t feel like a gamble. It should feel like the next exciting step in your journey.
