First Time Homebuyer's Guide: The Homebuying Process: What You Need to Know

Home is where the heart is. And yes, you can rent a home but there is always that degree of impermanence. Home is a place where memories are made, children grow up and come back to. To own a home is the American Dream. The process is complicated. Knowing in advance what is required and what to expect will save you much grief and heartache. My mission with this book is to help the homebuyer understand the process which is little known, even to the most savvy of buyers. Build a team of experts who can help you realize that dream.
