A home is the biggest single purchase that most people ever make. Add a mortgage, and a home becomes a long-term commitment that can have a profound impact on your happiness and your financial well-being.

Buying a home is also a classic example of asymmetrical information. You’ll use an agent who has intimate knowledge of the local market. You’ll work with a lender who knows the mortgage market inside out. And you’ll buy from a vendor who is aware of her property’s shortcomings, including the upstairs neighbor who likes to entertain until the wee hours of the morning.

In short, everyone in this process knows more than you do. That puts you at a big disadvantage. And the disadvantage grows if you are operating in a foreign language and dealing with unfamiliar laws and customs.

The Landed books address that imbalance. By providing you with practical, unbiased information, Landed will save you time, money and headaches. The books also include extensive resources and notes, where you can learn more.
