Relocating to a new area is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming fast. If you’re moving to Western New York, you’re not just choosing a house, you’re choosing a neighborhood, a commute, a lifestyle, and a whole new routine.
Most relocation clients don’t need “just a Realtor.” They need someone local who can guide them through the process clearly, answer real questions quickly, and help them feel confident even if they’re buying from a distance.
I’m Kim Salvatoriello, a Western New York Realtor licensed since 2002, and I help relocation buyers and sellers across Erie & Niagara Counties including: Buffalo, Grand Island, Tonawanda, Amherst, Clarence, Williamsville, North Tonawanda, Lewiston, and Lockport.
Why Relocating to Western New York Requires a Specialist
Relocation transactions come with moving parts that local buyers don’t always deal with, like:
buying a home from a distance
coordinating travel for showings
managing virtual tours and video walkthroughs
navigating remote closings and digital paperwork
understanding local pricing, taxes, and market trends
scheduling inspections and repairs when you aren’t nearby
lining up timelines with job changes and school schedules
The right relocation Realtor makes the process feel organized, not chaotic. You should feel informed at every step, not like you’re guessing.

planning your timing so the move feels smoother
Western New York attracts buyers for a lot of reasons, affordability compared to many other markets, access to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and the “real community” feel you don’t always get in bigger cities.
Whether you’re relocating for work, family, downsizing, or a fresh start, I’ll help you narrow down the best towns and neighborhoods based on what matters most to you.

Common Questions Relocating Clients Ask
What areas are best for commuting to Buffalo or Niagara Falls?
Commute time matters, especially if you’re new to the area. I’ll walk you through realistic drive times, traffic patterns, and which towns make the most sense based on where you’ll be working.
How do virtual showings work?
I offer video walkthroughs and FaceTime-style showings so you can see the home clearly, ask questions in real time, and get honest feedback without needing to be here in person for every appointment.
Can we close remotely?
Yes. Many relocation transactions can be completed with digital signatures and remote closing options, depending on the situation and the professionals involved.

This is one of the biggest stress points for relocation clients. I help you map out timing so you can avoid unnecessary gaps, rushed decisions, or moving twice.
