You are trusting someone you have not met to help you find a home, often in a state you have never lived in. That is a lot to ask. It is why we are careful about who represents us, and why we would rather tell you exactly how that works than ask you to take it on faith.
Who can apply
Applications are open to licensed real estate agents. There is no invitation and no waiting list.
Applying does not mean acceptance. Every application is reviewed, and we add agents one at a time. No one is enrolled automatically and we do not add agents in bulk. Our aim is a network we know well rather than the longest possible list of names.
What our broker of record reviews
Every application is reviewed by our broker of record. Four things are looked at:
Licensing and brokerage standing. Whether the agent holds a current license in good standing, and which brokerage they operate under.
The markets they cover. Which areas an agent genuinely works, not merely which areas they are willing to drive to. Coverage matters. So does whether we already have someone serving that market well.
Relevant real estate experience. Whether the agent has the practical experience to handle the kind of move our clients are making, which is often a relocation across state lines rather than a move across town.
Values alignment. Explained below, because it is the term most likely to be taken as a slogan.
What values alignment means here
It does not mean an agent has to pass a political test, and we do not administer one.
It means the agent understands why you are moving and takes it seriously. Our clients relocate for reasons that are not only financial. Faith, schools, safety, community, the sense that a place still fits the life you want to live. Those reasons should be treated as legitimate by the person helping you.
In practice it comes down to something simple: you should not have to explain or apologize for why you are moving.
How we decide whether an agent is a fit
Our broker of record weighs those four areas together and makes a judgement about whether the agent is a fit for the network. It is a decision, not a scorecard.
We should be straightforward about what that is and is not. We do not conduct a formal interview process. We do not require agents to hit a sales volume or transaction count to join. What matters is whether the agent meets our review criteria and is someone we would be comfortable referring to a client.
What happens after an agent joins
Joining the network is the beginning of the relationship, not the end of the review.
When we make an introduction, we stay involved. Our team follows up with the agent while a move is underway. If something is not working, we want to know early, while it can still be fixed.
How we follow referrals over time
Once an agent is in the network, referral and closing performance is tracked over time. That means we pay attention to what happens after we make an introduction: whether the agent responds, whether they stay with the client through a relocation timeline that can run for months, and how the move actually turns out.
We also hear from clients about how it went, and we pay attention to that. It is not a rating or a score. It is us asking, and listening.
This is how an agent earns more referrals. It is something we watch after an agent joins, not a hurdle we ask them to clear before we will talk to them.
What you can expect from a referral
An introduction to a licensed agent who has been reviewed by our broker of record, who works the market you are moving to, and who will not treat your reasons for moving as something to manage around.
If you are selling as well as buying, an agent on each side of your move, and our team helping keep both sides coordinated.
Someone to tell if it is not working. If the agent is not the right fit, tell us and we can connect you with another agent. You are not stuck with an introduction.
What we do not promise
We think you should hear this from us rather than discover it later.
We are not the agent. Each agent in our network is an independent professional who represents you under their own separate agreement. We make the introduction and stay involved. We do not represent you in the transaction.
We do not control the transaction. Your agent manages the sale or the purchase. We are not a party to it, and we cannot direct how it is handled.
We do not guarantee an outcome. No one can honestly promise a price, a timeline, or that a particular home will be yours. What we can tell you is who you are being introduced to and why.
We do not rate or rank agents publicly. We are not a directory or a review site, and we do not publish rankings of agents against one another.
How we get paid
When a move we refer closes, the partner agent pays us a referral fee out of their commission — the same commission you would pay any agent. That means our referral service comes at no additional cost to you.
It is worth understanding, because it puts us on the same side of the table as you. We gain nothing by handing you to whoever happens to be nearest, and nothing at all if the move does not work out. The only version of this that works for us is the one that works for you first.
Questions about how we vet agents
Do agents pay to join Conservative Move?
No. Agents do not buy leads or pay for placement. We are paid a referral fee only when a move we referred actually closes.
Do you require agents to be top producers?
No. We do not require agents to hit a sales volume or transaction count to join. Our broker of record reviews licensing and brokerage standing, the markets an agent covers, their real estate experience, and values alignment.
Is there a political litmus test for agents?
No. Values alignment means the agent understands why our clients are moving and treats those reasons as legitimate. It is not a questionnaire or a test.
Can I ask for a different agent?
Yes. If the agent we introduce is not the right fit, tell us and we can connect you with another agent.
Does Conservative Move represent me in the transaction?
No. Your agent represents you under their own separate agreement. We make the introduction, and we stay involved so both sides of a move stay coordinated.
How do you choose which agent I get?
Where you are moving, what kind of move it is, whether you are selling as well as buying, and which agents in our network cover that market.
Ready to meet your agent?
Tell us where you are and where you are headed, and we will introduce you to a vetted agent in our network. If you are selling a home as well, we can connect you with an agent on that end too.
