Summary: I bought three books and this one was the best
Comment: When I was starting the process of buying my first house, I bought this book (actually, the first edition from 1994), along with two others. One of the others was "Kiplinger's Buying and Selling a Home" and was decent enough. The other one was so bad that I threw it out and now forget what the title was. Sorry.
This one, however, was perfect for my needs. I didn't know much of anything about real estate transactions, but I'm a sharp guy and I just needed someone to walk me through the whole process. Ms. Glink does just that it in an easy-to-read Q&A style, and I read it cover to cover.
By the end of the book, I wasn't an expert but I knew enough that I could speak intelligently with my buyer's agent about my needs and was able to make good decisions regarding financing et cetera.
My sister is buying her first house now, and I'm recommending this book to her. You should get it too.

Summary: Forget 'Dummies'. Listen to Ilyce!
Comment: I'm in the process of learning about buying a home. I've read 5-6 books on the subject. Some books explain things a bit but still leave you with questions. Other books seem to "preach" their philosophy but that may not be right for everyone. By far the best book, I've read has been "100 Questions Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Ask, Second Edition : With Answers from Top Brokers from Around the Country" by Ilyce R. Glink. This book is incredibly easy to read, but thorough enough to answer the questions that the other books left me asking. Whether you're a first time buyer or someone looking to brush up on home buying...this book is for you.

Summary: Good stuff.
Comment: Ilyce R. Glink, 100 Questions First-Time Homebuyers Should Ask (Three Rivers Press, 2000)
The title of this book, perhaps, does it something of a disservice. The information to be found here is useful for anyone in the process of looking for a new home. Sure, a good deal of it will be more useful to those who haven't been through the process before (the section on different types of mortgages, and different breeds of mortgage brokers, is likely to be especially helpful), but since buying a new home isn't something one does on a weekly, or even a yearly, basis most of the time, there's stuff in here that might make for it being a good refresher course when it comes time to sell. (As well, it may remind the sellers of the state of mind of the homebuyer and invoke a little sympathy.) Much of it may seem like common sense, but let's not forget that the vast majority of humanity are notably devoid of that particular capacity.
Good stuff, well worth reading. ****
