Contact a lender early on. If you already know a good one,
contact this lender prior to contacting a Realtor. Most
quality agents won't even show homes with buyers
who are not pre-approved yet. And you almost always need
that pre-approval letter before you can submit an offer
on a property. You'll also need a good real estate attorney early on to guide you through the legal ins and
outs of the purchase contract that your Realtor helped
you put together. Your attorney is critical through the
negotiation stages, reviewing the findings of the
inspection report, and not to mention the closing. Lastly,
movers often need several months of advance notice of your
pending move. Although you may not need to contact one this
early on, it's good to have the knowledge in hand of lead
times, requirements and more importantly, pricing.
