Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

Buying your first home is an amazing experience. It’s also a “Holy crap, what did I get myself into?” series of moments. It’s a huge leap of faith, significant chunk of cash and one of the most overwhelming, scary and stressful experiences ever. I’ve been in the insurance business since 1996. And I’ve worked with hundreds of first time homeowners, helping them insure their home and educating them about the process. I’ve discovered that the majority of first time homeowners have the same questions and concerns, such as: What’s in a typical homeowners policy? What do I need to know about homeowners insurance? What’s the process for getting a home insured? How long does the process take? They also have questions they don’t know they need to ask. Questions that are extremely crucial to the home searching and buying process. Questions that are seldom answered even by those in the insurance profession. So I decided to do something about it- that’s why I wrote “Insuring Your First Home: Your Must-Have Guide to Make Home Buying Painless.” I’m giving you the tools to look at homes the way I look at homes- from an insurance perspective. The knowledge you’ll gain will help make the home search extremely productive (who wouldn’t want to save some time looking at houses?), take the pain out of the process (and who DOESN’T want that?) and instill confidence you’re making a wise investment. This is an inside look at my proven process, used in counseling hundreds of first time homebuyers. This is the most comprehensive, behind-the-scenes, real-life look at the homeowners insurance process you’ll ever find. And the guide thousands of people wish they had had when buying their first home. What You’ll Find Inside: Information that insurance companies will be wringing their hands about because “that’s our little secret.” A proven process that has helped hundreds of people get to home ownership. Actionable steps you can take to make insuring your home as painless as possible. Glossary of common terms and loads of examples. Realistic, time-tested, practical advice to help you understand the process. The best part- written like we’re sitting at the coffee shop having a conversation. Who This Book Is For: First time homebuyers Realtors who want an inside look at homeowners insurance to better educate their own customers Mortgage lenders who want an inside look at homeowners insurance so the closing proceeds without trouble Any homeowner who wants the most honest, realistic, no-holds-barred look at their own policy Here’s what you’ll gain and experience by reading this book: Save Money and time- and who doesn’t want to do that?

Carrie's book is a great guide for 1st time homeowners to use both in knowing what to look for in a home and your insurance needs. As a longtime homeowner, I also found tips that were useful for me. It never hurts to re-visit this stuff. I really like Carrie's no nonsense, straight forward approach to this subject. She is down to earth with real examples. Most importantly, the book is not loaded with insurance jargon so that the lay reader is not lost but can truly use this tool. Great job for 1st time author.

A must have for any home buyer. This was written by THE INSURANCE GODDESS. I enjoyed reading this even though I am not going to be a first home buyer.

I have owned my home for the past 3.5 years and I enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot from it. I am also a Mortgage Lender and felt that it can help me answer questions for my customers that may come up in regards to their home loan. I wasn't familiar with what some of the terms meant before reading this and I hear them often!This book is clear, concise and written in "normal people" language which is refreshing!I would recommend this book for ANYONE who owns a home, looking for a new home or works in the Real Estate industry!
