9780764135712: The Smart Consumer's Guide to Home Buying

Sinossi

Buying a home is, in the authors' words, both a romantic journey and a business venture. For most families, it's the largest single investment they will ever make. The purpose of this book is to transform home buyers--especially first-time buyers--into smart consumers who can evaluate a property objectively as step number one in deciding whether or not to buy. The authors take their readers by the hand through the maze of mortgage shopping, dealing with real estate agents, and hunting down that perfect dream house. Some of the many questions they help prospective buyers answer are:

  • Consideration of family needs: how many rooms, what kind of neighborhood, access to schools, shopping, and the like
  • Is the home affordable? Considerations include the size of the down payment, the size and type of mortgage, projecting monthly payments, and allowing for unforeseen expenses
  • Making an offer and negotiating with sellers and real estate agents
  • The close, settlement, and escrow
  • Remodeling: adding to a home and making improvements
  • Investment Property: understanding market values
  • Selling a home . . . and much, much more

    Because this book addresses a national audience, it is necessarily general when making reference to local situations. However, the authors offer practical advice on how readers can find reliable local professional assistance in their quest to purchase a home.
