- checking out prospective homes
- making a purchase offer that a seller will choose above all others
- getting a mortgage whose terms you can live with
- examining the house’s physical condition
- negotiating complications during escrow
- taking title, and
- closing on the purchase.
You’ll hear from other homebuyers, too–about important lessons learned from what went right or wrong with their own home purchases. This latest edition is fully updated to reflect current real estate and mortgage market conditions as well as technological innovations.
