Looking at properties, deciding whether to buy a home or build a new one, and finding financing will take up a lot of your time.

This guide covers everything you need to know about buuying a home for the first time - from attending "open houses", to dealing with agents, etc. - right down to obtaining a bank mortgage and what to expect during the closing.

Here are a few of the things you will learn with this guide:

- How to select a neighborhood that will match your lifestyle and meet your needs so you and your family can enjoy your new surroundings.
