Guide Review
"House Hunting, A Take-Along Workbook for Home Buyers"
Ms. Hymer's book will help you through the entire home buying process. She includes helpful advice on everything from finding the right agent to shopping for a mortgage to pinpointing your needs and wants to negotiating the deal, and more. She's even included a chapter about selling your home when that time comes.

The text truly is a workbook, with plenty of space for you to record your thoughts about every aspect of the search and purchase. The author suggests key questions that should be answered before you progress to the next step. That might not seem important, but you'd be surprised how easily our reactions to people and places are forgotten when we don't write them down. An excellent tool for home buyers.
