Review Summary: ABSOLUTE must read for anyone considering buying their first home!!
Review: This should be required reading for every first time buyer! Having been in the real estate business for the past 22 years I have read many real estate books and most of them confuse and scare our people! What I love about this is that buyers can totally relate to it. The book is an easy read that is simple to understand with no hard to comprehend terms. It flows at a great pace with many down to earth, real life stories. This is a perfect item to share and pass on to anyone you care about. Everyone who hasn't bought a home should read this book and then take advantage of the current market conditions! They will build wealth and thank us in a big way in a few years!!

Review Summary: Great Resource for First Time Buyers
Review: First Time Home Buyers need to take advantage of the current market. As Gary Keller notes in this book, there is never a wrong time to buy the right house. As a Realtor, I've given this book out as gifts to our first time home buyers. They've really appreciated the great stories and helpful information. The book is packed full of information. I've found that my clients that read the book come into the process more prepared. Your First Home is a great tool to attract new buyers. Agents can offer the book as a gift and they'll be giving something of tremendous value and their customers will appreciate it.

Review Summary: Easy read, good information
Review: I was curious to read this book as I have read several books written by the same author. It was an anedotal look at buying your first house as told by many of the most successful executives in the Keller Williams Realty family.
I found it interesting that no matter what their walk of life was when they originally purchased a home, they knew that it was the right thing to do, for the right reasons.
Home ownership does more than provide a roof over your head. It gives you the freedom to decorate the way you want to, instead of living in a house that the landlord won't allow you to make uniquely your own. It allows you to learn the responsiblity of ownership instead of relying on a landlord to take care of the property. It also showed that in most cases the value fo the property increased and created the largest share of a person's net worth.
It was an easy read, I think I read through the entire book in a couple of sittings. I would recommend it to anyone thinking of buying their first home, because it is not a sales book but the story of several different people from different parts ot the country that all experienced the same end result.
