Читать книгу The Simple Guide to Buying a Home - Christine Cronin - Страница 1

The purpose of this book is to support you during the home buying process. My hope is that this book will inspire thoughts, answer questions, maybe give you more questions, and above all help you make the most informed decisions about your new adventure of owning a home.

I have had many life experiences that have led me to become passionate about sharing insights in the home buying process. My family and I were survivors of the 2008 housing crisis which caused a cascade of events that led to several stressful years while we recovered from the financial hardship we experienced.

When I began looking for a home I wanted to make sure I was informed on all the decisions I would face, but it was hard to find clear and thorough information on the process. I was able to reach out to some people I know, research on the internet, and learn about what questions to ask from my friends, family, and network. I definitely couldn't have successfully bought my first home without a village of people giving me advice. You can't ask what you don't know. So, I want to share the lessons I've learned, from my research and my personal experience.

I wrote this book to help others have equal access to the information of buying a home. After working with a few of my friends in their home buying process they encouraged me to write a book. I am so grateful they gave me the confidence to do this. Throughout my career I have also worked with many people in various aspects of the home buying process such as building their credit scores, understanding interest rates, and financial planning. I have attended home buyer boot camps and am lucky to have a lot of financial experts and realtors in my life. I hope this book helps you learn some common obstacles and what questions to ask to make thoughtful decisions throughout this journey.

I couldn’t have written this book on my own, so I want to thank the following people who helped me throughout my journey:
