I’m moving for a job — how do I find a realtor in my new city, fast?
Tell the Realtor Referral Hub the city you are moving to and your start date, and a person at the desk matches you free to the local partner who covers that metro — one realtor, introduced personally, not your details sold to a list. Job moves run on a deadline, so say the date plainly in your request: it goes to the partner who holds that metro first. Requesting and being matched cost nothing, and the only fee in the system is the standard 25% referral fee between brokerages if your purchase closes.
What to put in your request
- The city you are moving to, and your job start date.
- Buying, renting first, or both — many job movers rent a year, then buy with the same partner.
- A house to sell where you are now? Name that city too — the desk can match both ends.
- Any relocation package from your employer, so your partner works inside its rules.
Renting first is a real plan
If the timeline is tight, ask for a partner who works rentals as well as sales: you land softly, learn the neighborhoods with a local, and buy when you know the city. The same request form carries it — say "renting first" in your timeline.
