There's no fixed timeline attached to the six steps — and that's intentional. The Method describes an order, not a schedule, because every client's situation moves at a different pace.
For some clients, Discover might happen in a single conversation — the priorities are clear, the timing is set, and the next step follows quickly. For others, especially during a major life transition like a divorce, a loss, or an unexpected relocation, that first step might take longer, and that's completely appropriate. Rushing understanding to hit an arbitrary schedule defeats the purpose of the step.
Similarly, Execute — the step covering pricing, marketing, negotiation, and paperwork — can unfold over a few weeks for a straightforward sale in a fast-moving market, or longer if a property needs more preparation or the search takes time to find the right fit.
What stays consistent is the order and the intention behind each step, not the calendar. Lisa's role is to move at the pace that's right for your situation, while making sure no step gets skipped just to move faster.
