Realtor® Greg McCoy has written a book The House Hunt – A Guide to Buying Your First House to successfully guide first-time home buyers through the process of purchasing their first home.
SUMMARY: Historically low interest rates combined with affordable home prices make this a great time to purchase your first house. But the complex process of home buying intimidates many prospective first-time homebuyers. Professional REALTOR® Greg McCoy’s work with first-time buyers convinced him that what was missing was a book written specifically to help this buyer – so he wrote The House Hunt – A Guide to Buying Your First House. This 77-page book clearly and concisely discusses all aspects of home buying in an easy-to-read format.
 Peoria, IL (July 30, 2010) — It is a great time to purchase your first house. Historically low interest rates and affordable home prices combine to create a one-in-a lifetime opportunity for homebuyers. Author and REALTOR® Greg McCoy’s book The House Hunt – A Guide to Buying Your First House is an informative 77-page volume written in a concise, easy-to-read format that helps first-time home buyers prepare and know what to expect from the home-buying experience.
The House Hunt – A Guide to Buying Your First House begins with a discussion of whether or not the reader should consider buying a house, including a comparison of renting versus buying. It then provides a detailed roadmap of the process of pre-qualifying for a loan, looking for a house, negotiating a contract, hiring an inspector, and closing the deal. In the appendix, the book includes information on how to reduce your total mortgage cost by pre-payment, a mortgage-payment table and a glossary of real estate terms.
“During my years in real estate, I saw first-hand the intrepidation suffered by first-time buyers,” explains author and REALTOR® Greg McCoy. “I wanted to make a complex process easier to understand by writing a straightforward guide to buying a first home that a prospective home-buyer could read in an evening or a weekend.
“Now is truly an excellent time to be a first-time home buyer,” McCoy continues, “The buyer who makes a home purchase now will enjoy the benefits of historically low interest rates for the lifetime of his loan! I like to think that my book will help first-time home buyers get over their fear and make a purchase that can be the foundation for a life-time of financial security.”
