Before you go further
You just did something most people skip
A lot of people move forward with a relocation offer on hope alone — not because they're careless, but because nobody hands them a clear way to check first. Getting this guide before your next payment, rather than after, is exactly the right order to do this in.
Start here
Three steps, in this order
1
Tonight
Read the Introduction and "The 2026 Landscape" section. This tells you immediately whether the route or offer you're looking at is still current.
2
Before your next conversation with an agent
Read "Red Flags" and "The 20 Questions." Pick five that feel most relevant to your situation.
3
Right before you're asked to pay anything
Run through the Verification Scorecard and the One-Page Checklist. If something's unchecked, resolve it before you pay — not after.
Note: this guide gives you a clear process for checking an offer — it can't guarantee any individual outcome, and no legitimate resource can promise that. What it can do is make sure you're deciding with real information instead of pressure.
One last thing
Thank you for trusting this with something important
Go through the guide before your next payment, not after — that's really the step that matters most. If anything inside is unclear, just reply to your confirmation email and ask.
