We learn from our mistakes, but it's an expensive education when you're buying a house. Dian Hymer's home guide is a better bet, from the first "should we buy a house" glimmer to the closing. Written in a relaxed, organized manner, Hymer knows the housing game, she's familiar with the errors people make (like not reading the purchase agreement before signing), and she's knowledgeable about hot topics such as short sales and on-line home shopping. Rather than stumble blindly into many dollars worth of house, it's worth following Hymer's guide from the start--for your pocket and your sanity.
From Library Journal
Hymer (Buying and Selling a Home in California, Chronicle, 1989) is a San Francisco-based real estate agent who also writes a syndicated real estate newspaper column. In this detailed guide, she covers the basics of buying a home or condominium, including selecting a real estate agent, choosing a home, financing, inspections, and closings. She does an excellent job of covering how best to bid on a home?one of the most difficult aspects of a home purchase. The appendix includes an interest-rate amortization table and glossary of common terms. Her work has more information than some readers will need. Recommended for public libraries, but if you can only afford only one book on buying a home, try Ilyce R. Glink's 10 Steps to Home Ownership (LJ 12/96).?Joel Jones, Kansas City P.L., Mo.
