FAQ 2: How early in my search should I connect with a Realtor?

By
Real Estate Agent with Janisch & Co. 0396361

How far in advance of my anticipated move should I start to look at homes with a Realtor?  

Properties that are in good condition and well priced do not usually stay on the market long.

 

If you need to give notice on your present residence,  it would be a good idea to plan for about six weeks.  You can see a lot within a couple if weeks, negotiate your offer and get your loan approved in that amount of time.

 

Looking too far in advance is essentially a waste of time.  The house you fall in love with could well be sold before you can get all your ducks in a row.

 

Every situation is different.  Find an agent you would like to work with and share your needs.

 

The agent can advise you about the best options available to you.

I listen closely to my clients wants and needs then like to set them up on a portal search.  The portal emails them all listings fitting their wants and needs.  This allows them to search through the homes that fit their criteria and then when they have a good list we head out to look at homes.  It's a win - win for everyone.
