St. Louis Companies Are Hiring — and Qualified Executive Buyers Are Moving In

What Local Sellers Need to Know About Our Corporate Relocation Connections

 

The job market in St. Louis is growing, and so is the demand for housing. With major employers actively recruiting executive and professional talent, relocation buyers are on the move — and many of them are headed to St. Louis.

 

Relocation Buyers Are a Unique Opportunity for Local Sellers

At The Wells + Michael Collective, we work under the brokerage of Dielmann Sotheby’s International Realty, which maintains long-standing relationships with some of the most trusted third-party relocation companies in the world — including:

These partnerships are designed to serve top-tier professionals transferring for work — many of whom are incoming buyers with approved relocation budgets, short timelines, and pre-vetted financing.

 

Which Companies Are Driving Relocation to STL?

Here are just a few of the employers actively hiring in our region:

From tech to healthcare to manufacturing and finance, these companies are onboarding talent — and those hires need homes.



Local Seller? Your Buyer Might Be Relocating In.

If you're selling a home in Clayton, Ladue, Town & Country, Chesterfield, Wildwood, or Frontenac, there’s a very real chance that your buyer isn’t local — they’re relocating to St. Louis for work.

When you list with us, your home benefits from built-in exposure to these relocation networks. That means:

  • More visibility to motivated, qualified buyers

  • Faster potential sales cycles

  • Access to a pool of buyers that other agents can’t reach

We don’t just post your home online — we plug it into a relocation pipeline connected to executives and professionals already headed here.

 

The Market Is Still Moving in St. Louis

Despite national headlines, our local market remains steady — especially in established, high-demand neighborhoods. Relocation buyers are looking for homes that are move-in ready, well-maintained, and located in desirable school districts or close to business hubs.

If your home fits that criteria, you could be at the top of their list.
