5.0 out of 5 stars Great! Well-organized and thorough., July 8, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Home Buying without the BS! (Paperback)
The title is correct--there's no BS in this book. Styled somewhat like the "dummies" book series, but compact, to-the-point, and without the cutsie graphics or wisecracks. Each chapter is packed with facts and tips. The end of each chapter contains literary quotations and website links. Both the practical and monetary details of house buying are covered, to help you make sure you're ready to buy a house while protecting yourself from potential pitfalls. I've read a lot of house buying books, and this is definitely one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cear and Precise, July 24, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Home Buying without the BS! (Paperback)
The author did a great job of explaining the process of buying a home in an easy to understand format. He lists lots of tips and focuses on what to watch for to stay out of trouble. I would never have thought to check for registered sex offenders in the neighborhood. I highly recommend the book for anyone buying a home and especially for all first time buyers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Buy a Home Without It!, December 8, 2002
By 
Norine (Berkeley, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Home Buying without the BS! (Paperback)
Interested in buying a house/condo this year or next? Do you want to make wise decisions based on inside information that is available to any knowledge-seeking consumer? If you answered "Yes" to all 3 questions, Todd Thornton's Home Buying without BS: Information without Overload will save you unnecessary headaches. Author Thornton presents vital information in plain language versus disguised "commission-driven" lingo voiced by your typical realtor, mortgage broker and escrow officer. For example, if you're lucky enough to receive your credit report from your mortgage broker, Thornton will discuss how Lenders evaluate your credit score and provide suggestions on how to improve your credit. Each of the 16 chapters is concluded with positive do-able action steps and relevant points of wisdom. Thornton's relevant points of wisdom served as mini-life savers when swimming towards the finish line in the home buying process. Thornton's straightforward tips strengthened me when I discovered my real estate service providers were prioritizing the size of their sales commission over my welfare and happiness.
