In this episode, we dive into the Buyer Sales Cycle, exploring the process from both the buyer’s and the real estate agent’s points of view. We begin by discussing the buyer’s journey, which typically starts 6-12 months before even connecting with an agent. Buyers are researching homes online, saving for down payments, and possibly getting pre-qualified for a loan. Next, we shift to the real estate agent’s perspective.
