From the most trusted name in real estate, here is the latest edition of the indispensable guide that helps first-time buyers land the home of their dreams.

Ilyce R. Glink has established herself as America?s most trusted real estate expert. In this new, fully revised and updated edition of the book that made her a household name, Glink offers more than 100 pages of new material addressing all of the current trends home buyers need to stay on top of, including:

? The new construction housing boom and how home buyers can make the most of it

? Mortgage lending innovations, such as interest-only financing and the ability to finance 103 percent of the purchase price

? The changing habits of first-time home buyers (purchasing without a broker, using discount Internet-based services, and buying first homes as investments)

? The latest information on asbestos, mold, radon, and other bio-environmental hazards and new, inexpensive testing methods any home buyer can use

In this third edition of 100 Questions Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Ask, Glink presents new stories of real people who have gone through the home-buying process for the first time and once again offers her trademark friendly advice on how to avoid common home-buyer mistakes.

Older Book but still very helpful!!!!

This book is very helpful in a way that gives you specific answers to questions you have. I love the question answer format. There is also a dictionary in the back that list some terms that the realtor, sellers or buyers may use that you may have no clue what they mean. Good investment.

Great book to get you started

thorough yet easy to browse -- a great resource

This book has been a tremendous resource in my search for a new home. It covers virtually every topic related to home-buying, and it only begins to "drone" in a few areas regarding finances. But, because of the book's organization, it is very easy to browse for information on a specific topic....

Perfect for first time buyers

AWESOME BOOK!

My husband and I bought this book because we were interested in buying a home and had never been through the process before. This book was so informative! We learned all kinds of things to do and not to do. This book is a must if you have never bought a home before!
