The first step is a simple conversation. We'll talk about your goals, your timeline, and your budget, then connect you with a trusted local lender to get pre-approved. Once you're pre-approved, we'll start showing you homes that fit your needs. The Leleux Group guides you through every step from search to closing, so you never feel like you're doing this alone.

Once you're pre-approved, most buyers in the CENLA market are under contract within 30–60 days, depending on inventory and how quickly the right home comes along. From contract to closing typically takes another 30–45 days. We'll give you a clear timeline from day one so you always know what to expect.
