Easter Pre-Approval: Getting Your Family Ready for a Spring Move

Spring moves can be magical or stressful. The difference is preparation. Here's how families we work with sequence their move from Easter to first day of school.

April: Get pre-approved. Visit neighborhoods. Tour homes. May: Make offers. Open escrow on the right house. June: Close on the new house. Begin packing. July: Move in. August: Get the kids enrolled in their new school.

The key is starting financing early. By the time you fall in love with a home in May, you want pre-approval already in hand — not still being underwritten.
