Helping Employees and Families Relocate with Confidence, Connect with Community, and Thrive in Their New Home.
At Homes & Hearts for Autism Relocation™, we believe every relocation is an opportunity to create a positive impact. We are a purpose driven network of real estate professionals, lending partners, title and escrow partners, moving companies, home inspectors, contractors, service providers, and community partners united by a shared commitment to exceptional service, integrity, and giving back.
Our mission is to help employees and families relocate with confidence while supporting individuals and families affected by autism and other developmental disabilities. Through our Team Impact Initiative™, participating partners contribute a portion of their proceeds to Encircle Families and other organizations that provide advocacy, education, resources, and support for families navigating autism and developmental challenges. Whether relocating across town or across the country, our goal is to make every transition as seamless as possible through personalized guidance, concierge level support, proactive communication, and trusted local connections. Because when people genuinely care about making a difference, they do more than help families move. They help them feel at home.
Homes & Hearts for Autism Relocation™ Group was founded by Yasmine Varanai, REALTOR®, mother and autism advocate.
With more than 15 years of business experience and a background in International Business, Yasmine brings a unique combination of professional expertise, strategic planning, and client advocacy to every relocation experience.
Her inspiration for creating Homes & Hearts for Autism Relocation™ Group is deeply personal.
After witnessing firsthand the challenges families face when navigating therapies, educational resources, support systems, and community services, she became passionate about creating a business that could make a meaningful difference.
What began as a desire to help families find homes evolved into a larger mission: building a network of like minded professionals committed to helping people relocate while giving back to the communities they serve.
Today, Homes & Hearts for Autism Relocation™ Group provides concierge relocation services for employees, families, and organizations while supporting autism advocacy and developmental disability resources through its Team Impact Initiative™.
Yasmine’s vision is simple:
To help people find more than a home. To help them find community, connection, and a sense of belonging while creating opportunities to support families who need it most.
Because every move has the power to make a difference.

Common Questions
Answers to the questions Yasmine hears most from out of state buyers and relocating families.
Not necessarily. Many of Yasmine’s clients buy sight unseen using detailed video tours, virtual walkthroughs, and FaceTime showings. She provides comprehensive neighborhood videos, school reports, and commute analyses so you can make an informed decision from anywhere. Of course, if you can visit, she will plan an efficient area tour to maximize your time.
Most relocating buyers find and close on a home within 30 to 60 days from starting their search. The timeline depends on financing, inventory, and how specific your criteria are. Yasmine’s structured relocation process keeps everything on track. If you have a firm start date for a new job, she works backwards from that date to ensure you are settled in time.
Yes. Yasmine connects relocating clients with trusted short term rental partners and corporate housing providers throughout Greater Phoenix. Whether you need a furnished apartment for two weeks or three months, she has vetted options ready. This gives you time to explore neighborhoods in person before committing to a purchase.
Arizona is generally 15 to 25 percent more affordable than California, with lower state income taxes, more affordable housing per square foot, and lower utility costs in many areas. Property taxes in Arizona are also among the lowest in the nation. Many relocating families find they can upgrade their home size and quality while spending less than they did in California.
Yes. Yasmine works directly with corporate relocation programs and HR departments to provide white glove service for transferred employees. She handles everything from area orientation tours to closing coordination, keeping both the employee and employer informed throughout. Her detailed reporting and responsiveness make the process smooth for everyone involved.
Arizona offers over 300 days of sunshine annually, but summers are intense with temperatures regularly exceeding 110 degrees. The dry heat is different from humid climates, and most residents adapt quickly with pool access, early morning outdoor activities, and excellent indoor infrastructure. Monsoon season runs from June through September, bringing dramatic but brief afternoon storms. Yasmine helps clients understand desert landscaping, cooling costs, and seasonal considerations before they buy.
Arizona has some of the lowest property tax rates in the nation, typically between 0.5 and 0.8 percent of assessed value. However, many communities, especially in Scottsdale, Gilbert, and Chandler, have Homeowners Associations with monthly or annual fees. These fees often cover community amenities like pools, parks, and landscaping. Yasmine provides detailed HOA and tax information for every property you consider.
Absolutely. Arizona supports mail away closings and remote online notarization in many cases. Yasmine coordinates with title companies experienced in out of state transactions to ensure your closing is seamless, regardless of where you are on closing day. She has helped clients close from California, Texas, New York, and even overseas.
