Referral via a national brokerage franchise....

Yes, exploiting the national (and international) footprint is a key marketing strategy for the big nationals... (ERA, Coldwell Banker, Century 21, etc.) Relocation Services (where you see inter-state and inter-national referrals) is still a big business and C-21 is I think still the biggest worldwide player, with offices in 74 countries. When they make claims (in aggregate) like 'In 2013, we assisted in approximately 166,000 relocations in more than 150 countries for more than 1,000 active clients...' they are clearly already producing results;)
