New Release Gives First-Time Homebuyers Keys to Purchase a Place; Book by Michael J. Wolf, Published by Dog Ear Publishing

San Diego, CA, October 08, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Buying a home is a big responsibility, and navigating the process takes patience and know-how. The author, a Realtor, writes that buying a home “can be like break-dancing in a minefield – one wrong move, and the whole thing can blow up in your face.” First-time homebuyers can turn to a professional in the industry before embarking on one of the biggest – and most expensive – purchases of their lives. Stories of real-life situations provide detailed examples of what to do and when to do it.

The First Time Homebuyer Book, published by Dog Ear Publishing, draws on the author’s experiences to guide first-time homebuyers through every step of the process, from the time they choose a home to closing day. The author addresses such homebuying topics as getting pre-approved for a loan, closing costs, what to look for in selecting a Realtor, how to find just the right home, making an offer in a cold or hot market, explaining escrow and appraisals and finding the best lender for your purchase. The book also offers advice on how to present an offer creatively and explores the intricacies of homeowners associations. Taking it one step further, the book includes free access to a referral database of real estate professionals from around the country so readers can find the help they need.

Author Michael Wolf, a Realtor practicing in the San Diego area, studied for a master’s degree in architecture at the New School of Architecture and Design in San Diego and received a bachelor’s degree in economics at the University of California at Santa Cruz. He has earned several production and sales distinctions since starting his professional career in 2005.
