Summary: 4 Stars
A friend recommended this because she read the first chapter and decided she had no business buying a house. Yes, it's that good. We have used it to help us select a lender and a Realtor, and it also helps by suggesting some decisions that should be made before you select those people. It is so much clearer now what escrow is. And why it matters who your home inspector is.
Bottom line, when you go shopping for the home of your dreams, it's best to be concentrating on the house, not wondering about all those terms the Realtor just threw at you. Read this first and the home-buying process is much clearer. If your realty agent confuses you, you know enough to ask them to clarify things. And if it still isn't clear, you'll know enough to find another realty agent.
Read this book! Buying a house is stressful enough without it.
Book Review: It Helped Me Buy My House
Summary: 4 Stars
A guide to home buying in the classic "for Dummies" format. This book covers the basics and the not-so-basics of residential home buying and provides a step-by-step guide to purchasing your own house. Among other topics, the book provides valuable advise regarding how to get started, how to select an agent, how to shop for a mortgage and so forth. Better yet, it does so in an understandable, but not oversimplified manner. Starting from absolute scratch, I personally found the book invaluable in purchasing my first home. Home Buying for Dummies is certainly not the final word in real estate, but it provides sufficient and highly usable information for the first-time home buyer. Read it before you meet with a buyer's agent and you can't help but get off to a great start.
