Maybe your lease is ending soon, you want to move before the school year starts, or you’re ready to settle into a new space while the market is active.
Let’s talk about your home-buying timeline because getting started in June can give you more time, more clarity, and more confidence as you move through the process.
🔑 Find the right agent
Timeframe: 1-2 weeks
This is the time to talk with agents, read reviews, and find someone who understands your goals. I also offer buyer consultations so you can learn more about me, the process, and what working together looks like.
💰 Work with a lender & get pre-approved
Timeframe: 1-2 weeks
A pre-approval helps you understand your budget and puts you in a stronger position when you find the right home. I can also connect you with trusted local lenders so you can compare your options.
☕ Meet with your agent to talk through your plan
Timeframe: An hour or two
We can meet over coffee or hop on a video call to talk through your ideal timeline, preferred locations, must-haves, and what you’re hoping to find in your next home.
🏡 Browse listings online & schedule in-person tours
Timeframe: 1 week to 3 months
This part can vary depending on your needs and what’s available in your local market. Having a knowledgeable agent on your side can help you sort through options and make the most of your search.
✍️ Make an offer & negotiate
Timeframe: 1 day to 1 week
Once you find the right home, your agent will help you decide on a strong offer strategy and guide you through negotiations, terms, and counteroffers.
📦 Enter the closing process
Timeframe: 4 to 6 weeks
This is when inspections, appraisal, loan approval, final paperwork, and closing details all come together before you officially get the keys.
So if buying a home this summer is on your mind, June is a great time to start preparing.
