People relocating to a new city or country face hundreds of hours of research, admin and coordination. Actionist is an AI agent that operates real apps the way a person does: it researches the best neighborhoods, compiles visa and registration requirements, shortlists housing from live listings, books the viewings and keeps the client informed at every stage. You focus on the conversations and the relationships that make the difference. Starting a relocation concierge service with AI means you serve more clients than a solo consultant ever could, without burning out.

You do not need a research team or deep expertise in every destination. You bring knowledge of the markets you cover, the trusted contacts in your network, and the judgment to match what you know to what each client needs. Actionist does the research, the logistics tracking and the client updates in the background. You approve the client-facing moves and the bookings that commit real money or real time.

Your opportunity

The opportunity

Why this works

Millions of people relocate each year for work, family or lifestyle, and most find the process overwhelming. A concierge who does the legwork is something they will pay well for, and the referrals from one satisfied client can fill your pipeline for months.

Because Actionist handles the research and the logistics for each client in the background, you can run more engagements than a solo consultant ever could, without adding headcount or burning out on admin.

What matters to you
  • A large, underserved market
    Corporate transfers, expat families and domestic long-distance moves all need help navigating an unfamiliar place, and few good concierges exist.
  • High-value, complex engagements
    Clients pay for your network and judgment. The research and coordination that justify the fee are exactly what Actionist handles.
  • Referral-driven growth
    A settled, happy client refers friends and family. Good concierge work compounds over time without cold outreach.
  • Low overhead to start
    No office, no team, no inventory. You need your network, a laptop and Actionist to get going.

Getting started

What it actually takes to start

Starting a relocation concierge used to mean a full team, deep expertise in every destination and an expensive setup. Actionist does the research for you, so the bar to launch is far lower than most people assume.

What you don't need
  • To be an expert in every destination
    Actionist researches the area, the paperwork and the services for each client.
  • A team of researchers and coordinators
    Your agents handle the legwork across every active engagement.
  • An office or registered agency
    You run this as a solo operator from your laptop.
  • Deep immigration or visa knowledge
    Actionist compiles requirements for each move type and flags what to do.
  • To quit your day job to start
    Actionist works through the plan in the background while you keep your schedule.
What you bring
  • Knowledge of one or two destination markets
    Your local insight is what clients pay for. Actionist adds the depth.
  • A trusted network of contacts
    Estate agents, movers, local specialists. Your relationships are the edge.
  • A few hours a week for calls and approvals
    The conversations and the key decisions stay with you.

If you know a destination and what families or professionals need when they arrive, Actionist handles the research, tracking and logistics.

How Actionist works

How it works

How Actionist builds the business

You do not run the day-to-day of each engagement. Actionist does. Here is how it works: you pick the business and the clients you want to serve, the agent plans every task, then works through them and brings you the few that need a human.

  1. 01

    You set the scope and your specialisms

    You choose the destinations you cover, the types of moves you support (corporate transfers, family relocations, international expats) and what you charge per engagement. That is the only setup thinking you need to do. Everything from client research to booking coordination, Actionist maps and runs.

    A clear service brief Actionist plans each client engagement against.
  2. 02

    Actionist maps every task for the engagement

    For each new client, Actionist breaks the engagement into a full plan: the research stages, the paperwork steps, the bookings to make and the deadlines to hit. You see the full scope in one place before the work starts, from first consultation to client settled.

    A complete task plan for every client, from enquiry to settled.
  3. 03

    It works through the research and coordination

    Actionist works through the plan in the background, researching neighborhoods and schools, pulling housing listings, compiling visa and registration requirements and tracking every booking and deadline, while you are at your job or with your family.

    Research and logistics moving forward without you driving it.
  4. 04

    It assigns you the human moments

    Some steps need you: the discovery call, the relationship with the estate agent, the moment a client needs reassurance. Actionist assigns those moments with everything you need, then carries on with the rest of the plan once they are done.

    A short, clear list of the moments only you can handle.
  5. 05

    It asks before anything that commits the client

    Before Actionist books a viewing, sends a service agreement or confirms a moving date, it stops and asks you to approve. Client-facing actions and bookings that commit real money or real time always wait for your yes.

    You stay in control of every commitment made on the client's behalf.
  6. 06

    You keep your day job and check in

    The business runs between your check-ins. You review progress over Telegram or Slack, approve the moves that matter, and talk to clients on your schedule. The research and the coordination happen in the background.

    A concierge business that grows around your existing life.

Actionist is your whole team

Design the service

turns your specialisms into a client offer and journey

Before you take a single client, your assistant builds the service structure: your offer, your pricing tiers and the step-by-step client journey from first enquiry to settled.

The task centre

Every task it takes, and who does it

This is the plan Actionist builds for each relocation engagement: every stage, task and subtask, split across your agent team. From finding the client to settling them in, the bulk of the work is handled. Only a handful of approvals and calls are left to you.

FAQ

Questions about this idea

Do I need to be an expert in every destination I offer?
No. You bring knowledge of the markets you know and the contacts you have built. Actionist researches the details for each client: neighborhoods, school rankings, visa requirements and cost of living. You bring the judgment; Actionist adds the depth. Starting a relocation concierge business works best when you specialise in one or two destinations rather than trying to cover everywhere.
Can I run this alongside my current job?
Yes, that is the point. Actionist works through the research and the logistics in the background. Your part is discovery calls, approval moments and the relationship conversations, all schedulable around the hours you already have. Most operators handle a handful of active clients at a time using just evenings and weekends.
How much of my time does each client actually need?
A discovery call, a handful of approvals at key stages (the housing shortlist, a viewing booking, an invoice) and a settling-in check-in. The research, the coordination and the progress updates are handled. Most engagements need a few focused hours from you across the whole process.
Does Actionist contact estate agents or service providers without me seeing it first?
No. Every client-facing action, from a viewing request to a service agreement, waits for your approval before it goes out. You stay in control of every commitment made on your client's behalf.
How does the payment process work?
Actionist prepares an invoice in Stripe at each agreed milestone, such as after the consultation or after the research pack is delivered. You approve it before it goes to the client, and the payment link is sent once you confirm. Nothing is charged without your yes.
What if a client's situation is complicated, like a complex visa or an unusual destination?
Actionist flags what it does not know and routes those questions to you over Telegram or Slack, with the full context so you can advise quickly. Your network and your judgment handle the exceptions; Actionist handles the standard research and logistics.
