Book Description

April 1995 Plain English Guide
What Kind of Book is This?

First, this is a book about money; a new book unlike any other on the market. It is different from most 'consumer' books because it is jargon-free, entertaining, and uncomplicated!

Who is it for, and why is it useful?

It's a plain-English how-to book for the ordinary homebuyer, and winner of a host of prestigious accolades. A genuine step-by-step guide to buying a home at the lowest possible price, it can save the reader thousands of dollars. American Consumers Association gave it their full 'unreserved' endorsement - a rare occurrence! So did United Homeowners Association, a major consumer group that fights for home ownership and homebuyers' rights on Capitol Hill, and American Homeowners Foundation, among others.

Reliable Advice

This is a 'remedy book.' First-hand money-saving know-how, tips, anecdotes, real life examples, and straight talk on how to buy wisely - written by a current professor and former real estate agent. It tells how not to get 'caught' or conned into paying too much. How to spot the tricks, traps, persuasion, and mistakes that steal the homebuyer's money - usually invisibly! Not One Dollar More! shows how with a few simple negotiation techniques, the buyer can save what is often, literally, a small fortune.

In Plain English - And Ready to Use

The advice is instantly usable and has never before been offered to the average homebuyer. The 'easy-reading' text is light, lively and clear. There are no tables or math. And the book contains a packed 32-page Resources Guide listing other money-saving services and help most buyers never hear about.

3.0 out of 5 stars Common sense advice repeated many times, June 21, 2001
By A Customer
I was looking for a book to help me buy a house. The book lists several common sense approaches to negotiations like don't appear urgent, the real estate agent is on the sellers side, don't cave in to pressure from your agent, never let people know you like the house, set a low price and stick to it and there is a lot of pressure on the seller if they have the home on the market. Then it proceeds to illustrate these points with several examples. It also goes over the basics of mortgages.

After reading the first few chapters, the rest of the book is just repeating the same theme. It could have been much shorter. There are some good points, but most of those points are common sense points that should be a revelation only to the most naive reader.

5.0 out of 5 stars saved me a bundle, April 24, 2002
By A Customer
I never would have even tried bidding on the house I eventually bought, it was so far out of my range. This book made me give it a try, and I negotiated down a whopping $50,000 less than the asking price. I'm not a natural bargainer, but the book showed me how to conduct myself from first walk through to signing.

5.0 out of 5 stars UNBELIEVABLE!, July 26, 2000
By 
Harvey Fillmore (Princeton, New Jersey USA) - See all my reviews
My first impression in reading this book was one of amazement, that it took me 38 YEARS being in business to learn what's between the covers of this little gem. No telling where I'd be today if I'd bought this book 38 uears ago. GET IT, READ IT, AND LIVE IT, you may well find yourself 38 years ahead in life.
