            That’s the question on a lot of folks’ minds who are ready to take the plunge that is first-time homebuying. 

            Ken Deshaies, a Realtor with Re/Max in Summit County, has some advice that comes in a quick, easy to read book, “How to Make Your Realtor Get You the Best Deal.”

            The book, in addition to explaining the history of real estate practice, offers help for buyers who do not understand that representation is available.

            “This is a message that is not getting out to consumers,” says Deshaies. “Getting your first home should be one of the happiest times of your life, from the time you start the process until you move in. As a buyer, you want someone on your side. Traditionally, buyers have been at the mercy of a system which has only represented sellers.”

            In his book, Deshaies offers first-time homebuyers the right steps in getting a Realtor to represent them, the questions to ask, as well as information and the how-to’s on financing.

            So, if you are one of those ready to take the plunge, or you’re just looking for some good information, be sure to pick up your copy today.
