You're not just renting — you're preparing.
As you work closely with your Real Estate Strategist, every decision you make during your rental search can bring you one step closer to future homeownership. Whether you're relocating, saving, or rebuilding credit, this rental phase is an important chapter in your path to owning a home.

When you work with a Real Estate Strategist, your rental decisions are no longer just about today’s needs. They're guided by a bigger picture: helping you build a foundation for owning a home in the near future.

Your Step-by-Step Plan to Move From Renting to Owning

Knowledge is power. Through personalized resources and guidance, you’ll learn everything you need to know — from mortgage types to down payments to closing costs — so you’re confident and informed when it’s time to buy.

We begin with a one-on-one session to understand your current housing situation, lifestyle needs, and homeownership goals. Whether you’re months or years away from buying, this session lays the foundation for your personalized plan.

We help you find a rental that works for your life now — and supports your future. That means staying within budget, choosing the right lease terms, and selecting locations with long-term ownership potential.

While renting, you’ll receive ongoing support to strengthen your credit, manage debt, and start saving for a down payment. We’ll help you create a realistic homeownership budget that grows with you.

When you’re close to being ready, we’ll assess your financial profile and walk you through the pre-approval process. You’ll know exactly what lenders look for and how to position yourself for the best rates and terms.
