The Relocation Buyer Playbook

Out-of-state buyers cannot hire the neighbor's agent: 43% of buyers find theirs through a referral (NAR 2025), and a family relocating from Seattle has no Arizona network, so they hire whoever answers first and runs the cleanest remote process. This playbook is that process: qualify the move, tour by video without losing trust, teach the Valley without steering, and close from 1,500 miles away without a horror story.

• The Relocation Intake Script: word-for-word questions that qualify the move, not just the buyer
• A 5-step live video tour protocol plus a 10-point on-camera checklist
• The Neighborhood Matrix: a fill-in, fair-housing-safe way to teach any area with facts
• Sight-unseen safeguards plus the wire-fraud warning email, ready to send at contract
• The 90-day work-backward timeline built on real closing-speed data, decision trip included
