INTRODUCTION

You’re ready to make the big move, deciding to ditch the rental life to buy your first home. Or maybe you’ve owned for years, but your family is growing and you need more space. It’s time to upgrade to a bigger home.

Or maybe you’re headed in the opposite direction, ready to downsize to a smaller place.

No matter your stage in life, and whether you’re searching for your first residence or your second, third or fourth, buying a home can be a stressful experience. You’ll need to qualify for a mortgage, check your credit, find a real estate agent, negotiate with sellers and, of course, find the home that’s a perfect fit for you and your family.

Fortunately, there’s also a process behind buying a home. And at Quicken Loans, we know how that process works.

Follow the steps in this home buying course if you want to remove some of the mystery from the house hunt. And as you read through our course, take the quizzes at the end of each chapter. That way, you’ll know whether you’re learning your home buying lingo or if you need some extra study.
