Relocating to a New State?
How to Buy & Sell Across State Lines

One brokerage, 8 states, flat fee. Here's how to avoid the most expensive mistakes people make when moving.

The Relocation Problem Nobody Talks About

When you relocate, you're typically running two real estate transactions simultaneously — selling in one state, buying in another. Most people end up with two different agents, two different brokerages, zero coordination, and percentage commissions on both sides.

On a $750,000 sale with a traditional 2.5% listing commission, that's $18,750 gone before you even start packing. Add a percentage-based buyer's agent on the purchase side, and the total commission costs can easily exceed $35,000.

That's money you could use for the move itself, renovations at your new place, or simply keeping in savings.

ShopProp: One Brokerage, 8 States

ShopProp holds active real estate licenses in eight states — with a managing broker overseeing every transaction in each one. That means you can sell your home in Washington and buy in Arizona (or California, Texas, Virginia, Colorado, Michigan, or Hawaii) with the same brokerage, the same standards, and the same flat fee.

What a Flat Fee Saves Relocators

Instead of paying a percentage that scales with your home price, ShopProp charges a flat $4,495 for full-service seller representation — regardless of whether your home is $400,000 or $4,000,000.

Example: Selling a $900,000 home in Bellevue, WA and buying a $650,000 home in Scottsdale, AZ

Traditional listing commission (2.5%): $22,500
ShopProp flat fee: $4,495
Savings on the sell side alone: $18,005

Plus: ShopProp buyer rebate on the Scottsdale purchase puts additional cash back at closing.

One closed relocation can easily save $20,000–$40,000 in commission costs compared to traditional agents on both sides.

The 5 Biggest Relocation Mistakes

How ShopProp's Multi-State Model Works

Step 1: List your current home. Flat $4,495 full-service listing in any of our 8 states. Professional photography, MLS listing, managing broker oversight, negotiation support.

Step 2: Start your search in the new state. ShopProp's buyer program gives you representation with a rebate at closing — you get cash back instead of paying extra.

Step 3: Coordinate timing. Because ShopProp handles both sides, your brokerage can coordinate closing dates to minimize gaps. No bridge loans, no scrambling.

Step 4: Close and keep the savings. The money you save on commissions — often $15,000 to $50,000 — stays in your pocket for the move, renovations, or savings.

Why the Managing Broker Matters for Relocators

Multi-state transactions are inherently more complex. Different disclosure forms, different timelines, different legal requirements. A basic licensed agent might handle one state's paperwork correctly — but miss nuances in the other.

ShopProp's managing broker has a background in construction, finance, and 4,000+ closed transactions across multiple states. Every contract, every disclosure, every negotiation gets that level of oversight — whether the home is $400,000 in Michigan or $4,000,000 in California.
