Real estate leads

Relocation leads from people moving to your market

Relocation leads from people moving to a new city who asked a local agent to help them buy or rent. They do not know the area, so local knowledge is what they are buying from you.

Who they are

Who relocation leads are

Relocation leads on Maple come from people planning a move to a new area, for a job, family or lower cost of living, who answered an ad and asked a local agent to reach out. This page also covers renter leads: people looking to rent who asked for agent help, many of whom are new to the area and will buy within a year or two.

The trigger is almost always a date: a start date for a new job, a school year, a lease ending in the old city. That date drives everything. Relocating buyers often have one or two trips to see homes, so they need an agent who can narrow the search remotely and make each visit count. Some want to rent first and buy once they know the area.

What they need most is local context: commute times, neighborhoods that match their lifestyle and budget, what homes really cost, and how fast the market moves. Fair housing rules apply here as everywhere: describe neighborhoods by facts like commute, amenities and housing stock, and let the client decide where they want to live.

Playbook

How to work relocation leads

What the best-performing teams do from the moment the lead lands.

  1. 01

    Anchor on the move date

    Ask when they need to be there, what is bringing them, and whether they want to buy now or rent first. Ask about the commute, work location and what matters in a neighborhood. The move date sets your entire plan, so confirm it on the first call and work backward.

  2. 02

    Book a relocation consult

    The first-call goal is a video consultation to map areas against their budget and commute. Share your screen with a map and a few current listings. Relocating buyers want to feel oriented; a 30-minute call that does that wins the relationship more often than a stack of listing links.

  3. 03

    Make the visit count

    Plan the house-hunting trip together: pre-approval in hand, shortlisted homes, neighborhood drives and backup showings. Offer video tours for homes they cannot visit. A tight, well-planned trip is what relocating clients remember and talk about at their new office.

  4. 04

    Serve renters with a path to buying

    For renter leads, help them find a rental if your brokerage does leasing, or refer to a trusted leasing agent. Stay in touch through their first year with neighborhood updates and a lender introduction when they are ready. Today's relocating renter is often next year's first-time buyer.

  5. 05

    Follow up around their milestones

    Set touches around the move: a check-in after the job offer is confirmed, a planning call before the trip, and regular updates in between. After closing or move-in, send local guides and a check-in at 30 and 90 days. Relocation clients often refer colleagues making the same move.

Campaign setup

Set up your campaign

Recommended settings for buying relocation leads on Maple Leads.

  • Hot and Warm tiers fit relocating buyers with near-term move dates; they are often talking to several agents remotely.
  • Run renter leads on a separate campaign with Cold or Aged tiers if you work them as a long-term buyer pipeline.
  • Filter by the ZIPs and budgets you know best so your first call can be genuinely local.
  • Set a delivery schedule that includes evenings and weekends, when people planning a move from another time zone are free to talk.
  • Pair with a lender partner who can pre-approve out-of-state buyers quickly before their house-hunting trip.

FAQ

Relocation leads questions

What are relocation leads?

People planning a move to your area who answered an ad and asked a local agent for help buying or renting. The lead includes contact details, ZIP, budget, timeline, pre-approved (yes or no), property type and a stored consent record. This page also covers renter leads.

How do I work a relocating buyer I cannot meet in person?

Start with a video consultation, share maps and listings on screen, and plan one or two efficient house-hunting trips. Use video tours for homes they cannot see in person. A pre-approval before the trip helps them make an offer while they are in town.

Are renter leads worth buying for an agent?

They can be if you treat them as a pipeline. Many renters, especially those new to an area, plan to buy within a year or two. Help them find a rental or refer them to a leasing agent, then stay in touch. Lower tiers keep the cost in line with the longer timeline.

How should I describe neighborhoods to relocating clients?

Stick to facts: commute times, schools' public information, amenities, housing types and home values. Do not steer clients toward or away from areas based on who lives there. Fair housing rules apply, and clients should decide where they want to live.

Which tiers fit relocation leads?

For buyers with a firm move date, Hot and Warm tiers make sense because they are often contacting several agents at once. For renters and buyers with longer timelines, Cold or Aged tiers lower the cost while you build the relationship over months.
