Good info on the basic home buying process

This is good information on the basics. It is a short guide but I think our covers what is promised. A nice addition would be some reference material, like a checklist to download.

Perfect for a first time home buyer!

Very simple and direct explanations of the home buying process. I feel much more comfortable and informed about how to approach the process after having listened to this book. I will likely revisit pieces of this as I go through the process myself.

Very Informative

this book was very informative and shed a lot of light on the home buying process. I feel as though I can go buy a house myself, knowing what to expect at each phase in the home-buying process.

Hard facts through out

Good book with no nonsense. Could use a little first hand story telling. The whole thing is pretty quick to get through, so the stories that we all remember would be beneficial.

Excellent, for what it is.

...and what it is is a fifty-seven minute long audiobook, sold for four dollars.

A nice little primer on home buying, this hits on all the main points and throws out a good number of pro-tips that feel like they actually came from a pro. Although he occasionally repeats himself, a goodly sized chunk of information is conveyed. I liked it.
