Summary answer: Plan for roughly 6-10 weeks from a confirmed contract to closing in Linton Hall, plus house-hunting time upfront. Also worth confirming honestly: Linton Hall's Pentagon commute runs a genuine 45-70 minutes, so factor that into your reporting requirements if the Pentagon is your actual destination.
