Corporate Relocation Season: Finding the Transferred Buyers in Your Market

September through November is corporate relocation season.

Companies move employees after summer, before holidays.

You need to find these buyers.

The Relocation Timeline

Employees get transfer notices in August.

They need housing by October or November.

September is when they start looking.

Where to Find Them

LinkedIn company pages for local employers Corporate housing facilities Extended stay hotels Rental communities Company HR departments

These people need homes fast.

The LinkedIn Strategy

Search for posts:

"Excited to announce my move to [your city]" "Starting new position at [local company]" "Relocating to [your area]"

Comment and DM these people immediately.

The DM Template

"Saw you're moving to [city]. Congratulations on the new role at [company]. I help relocated professionals find homes quickly. Happy to send you neighborhood information or answer questions. Here's my cell: [number]."

Keep it helpful, not salesy.

The Major Employers List

Identify top 10 employers in your area:

Which ones hire frequently? Which ones relocate employees? Which ones offer relocation packages?

Target these companies.

The HR Connection

Reach out to HR departments:

"I specialize in helping relocated employees. I can provide market tours and neighborhood guides. Can I send information about my relocation services?"

Some companies maintain preferred vendor lists.

The Corporate Housing Relationship

Visit corporate housing facilities:

Leave business cards Offer market tours Provide neighborhood guides Ask for referrals

People in corporate housing are actively looking.

The Extended Stay Strategy

Partner with extended stay hotels:

Monthly residents are often relocating Offer to show them homes Provide local area information Give them your contact info

Front desk staff can introduce you.

The Relocation Package

Create a digital welcome package:

Neighborhood guide School information Cost of living comparison Local services directory Transportation options Best restaurants and shops

Send this to every relocation lead.

The Urgent Buyer Advantage

Relocated buyers:

Need homes quickly Have employer support Are less price-sensitive Make faster decisions Often have guaranteed sale programs

These are quality clients.

The Timeline Pressure

Most relocations have deadlines:

Start date at new job Family needs to settle School enrollment dates Temporary housing expiration

Use this urgency to close deals.

The Rental Comparison

Show relocated buyers:

Monthly rent in your area Comparable mortgage payment Tax advantages of buying Equity building vs renting

Many haven't considered buying.

The Spouse Consultation

Often one spouse moves first:

Offer video tours Send detailed photos Schedule weekend showings Include both in decisions

Make long-distance buying easy.

The Neighborhood Tour

Relocated buyers need area education:

Commute times to office Grocery stores and services School districts Recreation options Community character

Be their local expert.

The Guaranteed Sale Problem

Some have homes to sell first:

Connect them with agents in their market Coordinate timing Manage expectations Offer bridge loan information

Help them solve the logistics.

The Content Strategy

Create relocation content:

"Moving to [your city]? Here's what you need to know" "Best neighborhoods for [major employer] employees" "Cost of living: [other city] vs [your city]"

This attracts relocation searches.

The SEO Approach

Optimize for searches:

"Relocating to [your city]" "Moving to [your city] for work" "[Your city] relocation guide" "Best neighborhoods for families in [your city]"

Relocated buyers search these terms.

The Follow-Up System

Relocation leads need quick response:

First contact: Within 1 hour Follow-up: Daily until they arrive Local tour: Within 48 hours of arrival Showing schedule: Immediate

Speed matters more than usual.

The Alumni Network

Connect with university alumni groups:

Graduates often relocate back They know the area They have networks They need housing

Alumni associations can be referral sources.
