“This book is about buying your first home, and I sincerely want to encourage you to make that leap,” said Gary Keller, best-selling author and co-founder and executive chairman, KW. “What's great about owning a home is that it can lay a solid foundation for your financial future while also setting the tone for your personal lifestyle.”

“This book’s goal is to be your trusted guide and help you know what to expect,” said Keller.

Assembled from hundreds of interviews and in-depth research with real estate agents and consumers, Your First Home is an in-depth guide on the complete process of homeownership. The book was expanded to address new trends and tools to help consumers find, finance and buy a home.

“Real estate agents will tell you that helping first-time home buyers is one of the most satisfying aspects of their work,” said Keller. “They know that becoming a homeowner is a huge milestone, and they feel honored to be involved.”

Your First Home is 280 pages and is available at KellerINK.com, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and other online booksellers. The book also serves as a valuable tool that real estate entrepreneurs can leverage to build their business.
