Book Description
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.

Book Description
Everything you thought you knew about financing a house has changed. Your future depends on knowing today’s mortgage and credit realities: Relying on older information could cost you a fortune or keep you from buying a house altogether. In Homebuyers Beware: Who’s Ripping You Off Now? – What You Must Know About the New Rules of Mortgage and Credit, Carolyn Warren reveals the new realities of home financing and shows exactly how to take advantage of them, whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, struggling with imperfect credit, or planning to invest in real estate. Homebuyers Beware reveals new secrets homebuyers simply can’t afford to miss and exposes new scams that target today’s eager consumers--including new loans that look great on paper but are every bit as dangerous as yesterday’s subprimes. Unlike other mortgage guides, this book fully reflects today’s radically new mortgage requirements, in addition to the latest federal housing legislation and how to improve your credit rating. Warren covers topics from real estate negotiation, to powerful tips on getting lower interest rates, to avoiding bogus junk fees, and everything in between: · High-tech “smoke and mirrors” that can trick you into overpaying · Quick, easy, powerful ways to fix your credit · Uncovering the costly secrets of the Yield Spread Premium · The latest laws and credit rules and what they mean to you · New plans for recovering from bad credit, foreclosures, or short sales “Carolyn Warren is my go-to expert for mortgage industry information. She not only helps you avoid rip-offs, she helps you know what questions to ask and how to ask them. Full of tips, scripts, and sample letters, Homebuyers Beware is an extremely valuable book that I recommend to all my readers!” --Alison Rogers, “Ask the Agent” columnist, CBS Moneywatch.com “In this fun-to-read volume, mortgage industry insider Carolyn Warren tells you what real estate cheats and mortgage scammers do NOT want you to know: the tricks, the deceptions, and the outright frauds that would otherwise add thousands, maybe tens of thousands of dollars to your mortgage. Get it. Read it. And take it to the mortgage broker with you. You’ll be glad you did!” --Clayton Makepeace, The Total Package, Makepeacetotalpackage.com “In Homebuyers Beware, Carolyn Warren directs her keen eye at the mortgage and credit markets in the wake of the housing bubble. With an insider’s knowledge, plenty of interesting anecdotes, and helpful reference information, Warren is a cheerful teacher leading readers down the path to homeownership and pointing out pitfalls along the way.” --Ben Meyer, InternetBrands.com
