Three Key Steps to Buying a House Before 2026 Every Homebuyer Needs

If you're thinking about buying a home before 2026, you should definitely watch this video. I break down exactly why starting the process now—not later—is key if you want to avoid being rushed, stressed, or stuck renewing another lease.

I walk you through what a realistic timeline looks like: budgeting, getting fully underwritten (not just pre-qualified), finding a solid real estate agent, and starting your home search. Even if you're months away from buying, the earlier you start, the more control you’ll have—and the smoother the whole process will be.

Whether you’re aiming to buy by the end of this year or sometime in early 2026, this video will help you understand what steps to take now to set yourself up for success.

If you have any questions or want to get started with a fully underwritten pre-approval, reach out to me and my team at 786-933-2077. We're here to help!
