Hello!

I’m working on getting my career started as an independent agent. I just left a team last month and have been looking for ways to get clients. I recently made an instagram page for my business and I have a friend from high school who is getting married November 2022 and wants to be moved into a house by Oct 2022. He’s given me a little information but I’m wondering what questions I need to ask him to make sure he understands the process of everything. He currently still lives with his parents still and his fiancé has an apartment. He says they haven’t talked about budget yet but he was thinking about $230k (to throw a number out there). How should I get him started in the right direction with their finances and talking with a lender to make sure they are ready to purchase when the time comes? Would I recommend him to one of my lenders or should I ask him more in depth questions about him and his fiancés credit history, employment, etc? Should I mention anything about lease to own programs (such as home partners, dream america, or divvy) or should I get him in touch with a lender since they have a good bit of time to get prepared? Any info is appreciated! Thanks!
