 A reading necessity for the home buyer! January 9, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
The outline of the book sets the stage for an extremely informative home buyer's guide. An "easy reader" which leaves no stone unturned and lays out in "simple" language what the home buyer should expect and do. It is the ultimate companion for the home buying dummy. Nay, any seriously motivated home buyer.
READ BEFORE BUYING -- Buy this before buying your house November 15, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
You need to read this book before buying your first home...as I should have before I made my mistakes. Often times a real estate agent won't tell you everything, either because they are busy or they just want to close on the deal. The book covers home inspections, escrow info, title work, etc. Every basic detail on how to safely get you into a house. Now it won't tell you how to buy homes really cheaply like foreclosures and what not, but it will tell you some due diligence information.

I was about to buy my first home and didn't know much about the whole process. This book proved very useful and informative.

When searching for a good teaching tool/reference for first time home buying, the list of publications can be endless and confusing. This one book will lead you step by step through each of the processes involved. Having NO PRIOR HOME BUYING KNOWLEDGE, I eagerly opened this book with highlighter in hand, reading cover to cover on all topics from finding an honest agent to buying fixer-uppers, researching mortgages, neighborhoods, etc., even whether you should consider renting vs. buyng, and all the little details in between. You will learn things you never knew before, and I found myself constantly referring to many chapters throughout our experience in searching for a home. I recommend this book to anyone seeking stratightforward and easy to understand info, no fancy jargon to cut through, just plain language writing on a very in depth subject. The book's lay out is reader-friendly as well, making it very simple to locate exactly the subject you need. Don't pass this one up!
 Good For First Time Home Buyer with No Resources September 9, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I am trying to buy my first condo and I bought this to try and help me since I didn't really have anyone to ask questions. The book is very generic since home buying varies quite a bit from state to state and sometimes within states.
I think it was a good way to know what was going to happen, but as I got futher into the process I needed more specific information about how things worked in my state. Also I think home buying has alot of little details that I think are missed in this book. Again, good to get started, but I would like a Home buying for dummies in (insert state here) book.
