If your lease is ending in six to eight months and you’re starting to think about buying your first home, the best time to reach out to a REALTOR® is right now.
Connecting early makes the process far less overwhelming. A REALTOR® will share a list of trusted lenders so you can compare options and choose who you want to work with. You’ll also get support in understanding your finances—how much more you may need to save, and ways to strengthen your credit so you’re ready to qualify for a mortgage.
Your REALTOR® will set up a home search for you, giving you a chance to see what’s available and what homes are currently selling for. You can get familiar with different neighbourhoods and start to understand what you like, what you don’t, and what fits your budget.
Starting early also gives you time to build a relationship. The more your REALTOR® gets to know you and your priorities, the better they’ll be able to help you choose the right home when you’re ready to start looking in person.
Thinking about buying in six, eight, or even twelve months? Reach out now and start preparing with confidence.
