Free StateMatcher report
See what could complicate your move before you fall in love with a state.
Your StateMatcher Reality Check uses your answers to identify conflicts, constraints, and assumptions that deserve attention before you begin comparing destinations.
No credit card required. Secure account access, questionnaire, report generation, and delivery are provided through FlagSeek.
The Reality Check does not select or rank states. It helps you identify what your eventual state search needs to take seriously.
What it may uncover
The quiet conflicts that generic “best state” lists miss.
Healthcare, medication, specialist, disability, or long-term-care requirements
Work, licensing, remote-work, or income assumptions that need verification
Climate preferences that may collide with hazards, insurance, utilities, or infrastructure
Schools, family, safety, accessibility, community, or policy needs that narrow the field
Priorities that cannot all be maximized in the same place
What you receive
A concise, personalized pressure test.
- A clear summary of your most important relocation priorities
- Potential conflicts among your needs, wants, and constraints
- Hidden assumptions and issues that require verification
- Practical questions to carry into your state research
What it does not do
It prepares the search. It does not replace it.
- It does not rank or recommend specific states
- It does not promise that every priority can be satisfied
- It does not replace legal, tax, medical, financial, or local professional advice
- It does not make the final decision for you
