Katie Severance epub The Brilliant Home Buyer: 101 Tips For Buying a Home in the New Economy

This is a book of insider real estate advice that will give homebuyers a major advantage in creating personal wealth. Buying and owning a home long term is, by far, the most dependable path to wealth for most people. The potential profit when you sell one day is enormous. But the entire real estate industry has changed dramatically in just the last five years. Nearly everything about the process is new. It is critical to know what you are doing and to have the edge over sellers --and even other buyers. To make a huge profit tomorrow, you have to know what you are doing today. Written by a 20 yr veteran agent, and the author of "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Selling Your Home", Katie Severance now offers her insider tips and strategies to buyers looking for a home in this new, fast paced and ever-changing economy. She has represented thousands of buyers and sellers in the post 9/11 era, the housing crash of 2008, and most recently the Coronavirus pandemic of 2020-21. She will show you how to find and target a community (and neighborhood) that is growing in value, read market conditions, find a home that will sell for the most money in the future, outmaneuver the seller in a negotiation, understand the new inspection process and negotiate cash credits, and find the right loan products, insurance products and best professionals. Katie Severance has been interviewed on MSNBC, bankrate.com, radio shows, and in magazines such as U.S News and World Report, Woman's World, and Realtor Magazine.
