All across the country, home ownership rates are at their
highest levels in years. With prices escalating monthly in
the most popular areas, buyers need to look carefully before
they leap. And the best place to find the information they
need to make a wise home purchase is this superb new guide
by award-winning journalist and real estate expert Elizabeth
Razzi, which focuses as much on lifestyle as on finances.
Taking a consumer-advocate approach to buying a home, Razzi
tackles all of the important financial issues, and explains
what a home buyer (particularly a first-time buyer) needs to
know about selecting brokers, agents, and mortgage bankers.
What separates this book from the pack is that it also
addresses important lifestyle matters: How do you size up a
neighborhood? Tour a house? Anticipate what a home will
actually be like to live in? The first in a projected new
series of "Fearless" real estate titles, this book provides
the kind of positive, authoritative advice that will turn
any nervous home buyer into a fearless home buyer.
By an award-winning real estate journalist Written
specifically for the non-investor-the millions of Americans
who are buying a home to actually live in
Fresh consumer-advocate's approach to buying a home
transforms nervous home buyers into fearless home buyers
Explains everything the first-time or move-up buyer needs to
know about staying in control of the deal-from getting a
mortgage to the closing
Discusses the lifestyle issues to be considered before
buying a home: how to select a neighborhood; the pros and
cons of different house styles; how to test the commute
