I was curious to read this book as I have read several books written by the same author. It was an anedotal look at buying your first house as told by many of the most successful executives in the Keller Williams Realty family.

I found it interesting that no matter what their walk of life was when they originally purchased a home, they knew that it was the right thing to do, for the right reasons.

Home ownership does more than provide a roof over your head. It gives you the freedom to decorate the way you want to, instead of living in a house that the landlord won't allow you to make uniquely your own. It allows you to learn the responsiblity of ownership instead of relying on a landlord to take care of the property. It also showed that in most cases the value fo the property increased and created the largest share of a person's net worth.

It was an easy read, I think I read through the entire book in a couple of sittings. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of buying their first home, because it is not a sales book but the story of several different people from different parts ot the country that all experienced the same end result.

First Time Home Buyers need to take advantage of the current market. As Gary Keller notes in this book, there is never a wrong time to buy the right house. As a Realtor, I've given this book out as gifts to our first time home buyers. They've really appreciated the great stories and helpful information. The book is packed full of information. I've found that my clients that read the book come into the process more prepared. Your First Home is a great tool to attract new buyers. Agents can offer the book as a gift and they'll be giving something of tremendous value and their customers will appreciate it.

I have sold homes for over 24 years and I believe that this book should be required reading for every home buyer..New or experienced. Learn the right way to buy a home in any market!

This is a must read for every first time home buyer. It takes the fear out of buying your first home! I highly recommend it!

Very well written and easily understood. This book would be beneficial for College students as Required Reading. We have given this book to our first time home buyers to assist them with the home buying process. It has truly assisted us with educating them in a simple and meaningful way. They are more prepared and willing to buy their first home. This book has made our job much easier when working with first time home buyers. Thank you Gary Keller! Rick and Teri Brenkus

This should be required reading for every first time buyer! Having been in the real estate business for the past 22 years I have read many real estate books and most of them confuse and scare our people! What I love about this is that buyers can totally relate to it. The book is an easy read that is simple to understand with no hard to comprehend terms. It flows at a great pace with many down to earth, real life stories. This is a perfect item to share and pass on to anyone you care about. Everyone who hasn't bought a home should read this book and then take advantage of the current market conditions! They will build wealth and thank us in a big way in a few years!!

As a licensed REALTOR® in the state of Texas, I was deeply involved in assisting first time home buyers into their new homes. This book was a resource that I cam across and decided to read for myself. AWESOME! After I finished reading it, I purchased 25 copies and have been giving them to my clients ever since. It is amazingly useful for First Time Home Buyers, but is even a great resource if you have owned 1, 5, or 10 homes.

If you live in the Dallas, TX area and are looking to buy or sell a home, please visit my website at [...]. Once we set up an appointment and meet, I'll give you a copy (I buy all my copies here on Amazon!).
