Description:
In the Canadian market, single women now marginally outnumber single men when it comes to buying a home, and that trend is set to widen the gap to 55% of single women planning to buy versus 45% of single men in the next two years. So what does a girl need to know about real estate before getting into the market? Where to look? Where to get financing? How to find an empathetic real estate agent. A good lawyer. As a single woman, what additional factors enter into the decision of where and what to buy? Home Girl: The Single Woman's Guide to Buying Real Estate in Canada is the perfect book to give you an edge when it comes to understanding the process and negotiating your best deal.

Topics include:
  • How to tell if you're ready to own your own home
  • What to look for in a house and a real estate agent
  • The offer, the deal, the closing and the aftermath
  • The dozens of little expenses that you might not be aware of before it's time to pay for them
  • What renovations to tackle yourself, and when it's time to call a pro
  • How to become a landlord--that is, if you really want to be one.
Aimed primarily at first-time buyers, Brenda Bouw takes readers through the entire process from start to finish and relates her own experiences in real estate -- the good, the bad, and everything in between. Other examples and personal stories from Canadian women from coast to coast reinforce the friendly and informative approach of Home Girl: The Single Woman's Guide to Buying Real Estate in Canada, and fills a niche in the Canadian real estate publishing landscape that has too long gone ignored.
