The five questions that matter
Ask what percentage of their business is relocation, how they show homes to out-of-state buyers, which districts and commute corridors they work daily, how they price honestly, and what happens when the inspection finds something ugly.
The answers separate the agents who know the market from the ones who know the contract. You need both.
Why video is the tell
An agent who films streets, schools and homes is proving local knowledge in a format you can verify from 2,000 miles away. That is exactly why Melissa built the Living in Kentucky Team channel: the content is the credibility.
If an agent cannot show you the area on film, they cannot sell it to you honestly from a distance.
The honesty test
A good relocation agent tells you who the area is not for. If the only answer is how perfect everything is, keep interviewing. Melissa's guides publish the cons on purpose, because newcomers who read both lists are the ones who stay.
