You can't beat the sound, easy to understand advice in this book. It's a great investment if you are in the market for a home. I was constantly researching along the way while also driving to different houses...it was exhausting and a lot to take in, but we did really well, I have to give some credit to the book for that. My advice after buying a home: Be diligent, go to areas that you would normally not consider at least once to check them out...you might find that it's for you, go to a lot of open houses, try not to get discouraged but if you do, just cry it out and move on, you may have to put in several offers if the market you're in is really competitive like the one we're in (California Bay Area) so just do it. Make sure you tell everyone you know that you're in the market for a house...sometimes you can find a hidden gem that way! Anyhow, great book, very comprehensive...the info you get from it is straightforward and honest. A wise investment...will have realtors quaking in their boots.Read full review
Buying a home is definitely one of the largest decisions we can make and this book was great in getting through all the "muck" to explain things thoroughly and easily. When it comes to something as large as this, I want things explained on a level my 4 year old could understand and this book does that. Adding in the peppering of humor keeps you interested and the flow of the book makes it easy to read. Anyone buying their first home or even their second should read this book!!
Excellent book, very interesting to read and keeps you informed. They dont make paternelistic decision yet give you good information. I dont read very much but this book I liked. Many basics are explained. I am a first time home buyer and I am sure I will not be making any major mistakes by reading this book well. definetly recommed to first time home buyers.
I THINK ALL THE "FOR DUMMIES" BOOKS ARE PRETTY WELL DONE. THEY USE HUMOR TO HOLD YOUR ATTENTION. THIS BOOK IS ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR BEGINNERS I THINK. I'VE BEEN DOING THIS AWHILE BUT I ALSO READ SOME TIPS AND IDEAS I HADN'T THOUGHT OF OR HAD THOUGHT OF IN A DIFFERENT WAY. I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR GOOD IDEAS. THIS BOOK HAS SOME.
Using the advise in this book we were able to define the kind of neighborhood we wanted to live in, search for the type of house, and negotiate the kind of deal you only hear about. That was before the housing crash, and our house not only wasn't underwater like most of our neighbors, it continued to appreciate in value because of the sound advise we took early on. Well worth the price even if it was hundreds of dollars.
