In my opinion, it is fine to involve a NC Realtor® at almost any point, just be very clear up front as to when you are planning on buying and how selling your home will impact your time line.
I think you increase you odds of finding a good buy in the right neighborhood if you start looking early.
Just put the home owners or the Realtor® through a lot of hoops since you don't want to buy for a while.
I just started working with a couple who probably aren't going to buy for six to nine months. They had a morning in the area, and I drove them around, showed them neighborhoods and important services.
We drove by a lot of homes, ones that they liked I pulled the flyers for them, more for pricing reference down the road than anything.
I showed them one vacant new construction home that I thought was reasonably priced. Again it was a reference point for them in their travels and decision making.
They aren't even sure they are buying in this area, but I was glad to provide them with that type of service. I my opinion it was good for them and good for me also.
I also referred them to a Realtor® in another area several hours away who was willing to do the same thing.
They're picking their area in a very deliberate way. I'm sure they will do the home in the same way.
Hope that helps,
