How Smart Realtors Get Consistent Relocation Leads
(A Beginner's Guide)
By: Isabel Schnoering
Why This Exists
You don’t need another overpriced course on “how to get leads.”
You don’t need to attend a virtual event where some “guru” rambles for 90 minutes before pitching his latest program.
And you definitely don’t need to keep cold calling or buying leads from Zillow, Realtor.com, or Homes.com only to compete with five other agents for someone who barely knows your name.
You need a system.
Something real. Something simple. Something that actually works.
This guide is that system.
It’s built for relocation-focused realtors who are serious about growing a pipeline of qualified, high-intent buyers-without wasting time or money chasing strangers who don’t want to be chased.
If you’re willing to post 1–2 videos a week for the next 6 months, this works.
If you’re not… don’t waste your time reading this.
Who This is For
- You’re a licensed agent serving a local area people are moving to
- You’re sick of chasing leads and want them coming to you
- You’re open to filming-but have no clue what to say or where to start
- You’re willing to stay consistent if someone just gave you the plan
This is your plan.
What's Inside
- The video topics that actually generate relocation leads
- A simple, repeatable YouTube funnel anyone can follow
- How to film, title, and structure your content (even if you hate being on camera)
- A 6-month execution strategy that helps you dominate your market without buying a single lead
No fluff. No filler. No BS.
Just a playbook you can steal, tweak, and run with starting this week.
One Rule:
You don’t need to be perfect. But you do need to press record.
No more waiting. No more guessing. No more “I’ll do it next quarter.”
Let’s go!!

Why YouTube Works (When Done Right)
Let’s get this straight:
YouTube isn’t TikTok. It’s not Instagram. And it’s definitely not Zillow.
It’s the second-largest search engine in the world, owned by Google.
And more importantly...where relocation buyers go before they ever set foot in your city.
These aren’t random views. They’re intent-driven searches.
“Cost of living in [City]”
“Moving to [City] from [State]”
“Best neighborhoods in [City]”
“Is [City] safe?”
“[City] weather in winter”
People Google these things. And guess what shows up? YouTube videos.
Sometimes before the blog posts. Sometimes before Zillow listings.
And increasingly-AI tools and language models are starting to prioritize YouTube videos in their answers, too.
Why This is a Game Changer
- YouTube videos don’t disappear after 24 hours-they live forever
- Every video you post is a searchable, trust-building lead magnet
- Unlike a cold lead from Zillow, a YouTube lead already knows your face, your voice, and your vibe
- They’re not browsing. They’re planning.
And the best part?
You don’t need to go viral.
You don’t need thousands of views.
You just need the right people watching the right video at the right time.
When they find that video-on their couch, in their pajamas, researching your city-and you’re the one showing up? You win.
The Video Funnel That Attracts the Right Leads (Without the noise)
Most agents post random videos and hope something hits.
That’s not a strategy. That’s guessing.
If you want relocation buyers to find you, trust you, and call you-you need to post videos that match where they are in the moving process.
What's a Funnel?
A funnel is a simple way to describe how people go from strangers → qualified leads → closed deals.
Not everyone is ready to buy or reach out the first time they see you.
But if you post the right types of videos
consistently, you’ll guide people from:
- Just looking
- Seriously considering
- Reaching out, ready to work with you
Each stage needs a different kind of video.
This funnel shows you how to meet them where they are-and move them closer to working with you.
Top of Funnel: Discovery
What they're searching for:
“Is [City] a good place to live?”
“Moving to [City] pros and cons”
“Cost of living in [City]”
“Weather in [City] year round”
“Why are people leaving [City]?”
What they're searching for:
- Pros & Cons of Living in [City]
- Don’t Move to [City] Unless You Know This
- Cost of Living in [City] in 2025
- Crime, Taxes, and Weather in [City]
- Moving from [State] to [City] – What You Should Know
Your Goal:
Show up first. Answer their questions.
Make them say, “This agent actually knows what they’re talking about.”
Middle of Funnel: Exploration
These people are more serious. They’ve narrowed down their list and want to see what life looks like.
What they're searching for:
“Best neighborhoods in [City]”
“Where to live in [City] with kids”
“Retiring in [City]”
“Commute from [Neighborhood] to downtown [City]”
“What are homes like in [Area]?”
What to film:
- [Neighborhood] Tour – What It’s Like to Live Here
- Best Suburbs of [City] for Families
- Where to Live in [City] – Retiree Edition
- Commute From [Area] – Drive With Me
- Homes in [Area] – What You Get for $500K / $1M / $2M+
Your Goal:
Help them picture life there. Show-not just tell.
Be their tour guide before they even book a flight.
Bottom of Funnel: Decision
They’re basically ready. They’ve watched your videos. They like you. Now they need logistics, clarity, and confidence.
What they're searching for:
“How to buy a home in [City] from out of state”
“[City] real estate market update [Month]”
“Best time to move to [City]”
“Is now a good time to buy in [City]?”
“How to relocate to [City] without the stress”
What to film:
- How to Buy a Home in [City] from Out of State
- [City] Real Estate Market Update – [This Month]
- What to Know Before Moving to [City]
- How We Help Relocation Buyers Move Smoothly
- Timeline: How Long It Takes to Relocate to [City]
Your Goal:
Be the solution. Show them you’ve done this before.
Make reaching out feel like the next obvious step-not a risk.
What to film After they Move:
Most agents stop posting once a deal closes.
Smart agents don’t.
Because if someone just moved to a brand-new city-especially if they’ve never lived there before-they’re not done watching.
They’re actually just getting started.
In fact, after the move is complete, many buyers start binge-watching your channel even more.
Why?
Because they’re thinking:
“Great… we moved. Now what?”
What they're searching for:
“How to make friends in [City]”
“Best gyms in [City]”
“Churches near me”
“Things to do in [City] this weekend”
“Best spots for retirees in [City]”
“[City] events for families”
They’re not looking for homes anymore.
They’re looking for community, connection, and confidence.
And if you’re the one still helping them?
You’re not just their agent anymore. You’re their trusted local guide.
And the best part? When they want to move again or a family/friend/relative/neighbor wants to buy or sell a home…guess who they’re calling? YOU!
What to film:
- How to Make Friends After Moving to [City]
- Best Gyms, Studios, and Workout Spots in [City]
- Local Faith Communities and Religious Options in [City]
- What Retirees Love Doing Most in [City]
- How Families Spend Their Weekends in [City]
- Local Events, Farmers Markets, and Community Hotspots
Why This Content Works:
- It deepens trust after the sale
- It builds referrals because you stayed in their life
- It shows future leads that you care beyond the transaction
- It makes you unforgettable in a world full of one-and-done agents
Your channel should never feel like a highlight reel.
It should feel like a full relocation support system.
Before they move, you help them decide.
After they move, you help them belong.
That’s how you win long term.

Limited Availability
I only work with a small number of agents each month so I can give every client personalized attention. Once my spots are full, I pause new coaching calls until more openings become available.
