About Book

At the time of writing this book nearly half of home sales were being made by first-time purchasers. In fact, 47% of all Americans who purchased homes in 2009 had not owned one during the previous three years, according to National Association of Realtors (NAR). That was up from 41% of sales in 2008 and 36% in 2006. In 2009, there were 2.3 to 2.4 million first-time home buyers.

In my specialty, as a First Time Home Buyer Expert, I speak to a lot of people every day. A large portion of them are people who are either in the process of buying their first home, contemplating the issue or flat out not sure if they should buy one. It does not matter what category they fall in, they still have a lot of questions about different stages of the process. First time home buying is a special occasion in everyone’s life. But because of the complexities around it, most people approach it with a mix of fear, anxiety and uncertainty.

I wrote this book with the sole purpose of making the process easier and more predictable. I do not want lack of knowledge to come in your way of not buying your own home.  I have tried to demystify the entire process by avoiding the jargon as much as possible. The book first helps you in deciding whether you are ready to buy or not and then gives a step by step instruction on what you can expect along the process should you decide to buy. My favorite part of the book is the last chapter where I interview 7 First-Time Home Buyers.
