How to compare agents for interprovincial moves, remote search, timing, neighbourhood orientation, school and commute questions, and local verification.
Moving from another city or province often means the agent must help translate neighbourhood structure, commute patterns, property norms, timing, and local due diligence.
When clients are not local, the process should reduce ambiguity. Ask how video tours, property notes, offer review, inspection access, and follow-up are handled.
Relocation searches may include language needs, school zones, transit, commute, healthcare access, pet needs, or community preferences. The agent should be clear about what they can and cannot advise on.
