FREE BOOK ANSWERS QUESTIONS ABOUT HOME BUYING AND SELLING
Available from ERA® Real Estate at 1-800-350-9261

Parsippany, NJ (June 16, 1998) –If you are like most people and have questions about buying or selling a home, ERA Real Estate has the ANSWERS®. ERA Real Estate has announced the availability of the new, updated edition of the ANSWERS book. A how-to guide that answers the 90 most frequently asked questions about buying or selling a home, ANSWERS is available to consumers free of charge by calling 1-800-350-9261.

Offered as a free resource to consumers by ERA Real Estate since 1992, ANSWERS is written in easy-to-understand language, and is an essential tool for first-time homebuyers, or for those in need of a refresher course. The book provides consumers with a step-by-step look at the home buying process and offers practical advice on subjects ranging from how to obtain financing, to how to properly price a house to sell. ANSWERS also offers guidance on how to maintain and prepare your home for re-sale, how to get pre-approved for a mortgage and what to look for when shopping for a new home.

"Buying or selling a home is a complex and daunting task for most people and that is why we offer the ANSWERS book as a free resource," said ERA Real Estate CEO and President Peter Burgdorff. "It provides consumers with a road map that simplifies the process."

ANSWERS contains valuable pages that help buyers determine what to look for when shopping for a new home, an inspection checklist, and a sample housing cost worksheet. The book’s glossary of terms also helps consumers understand complicated real estate terminology, such as adjustable rate mortgage, points, curb appeal and more.

ERA also offers a special on-line version of ANSWERS at www.ERA.com/answers. One of the most popular sites on the Web, it highlights a different real estate question daily. The site contains custom worksheets that prospective buyers and sellers can download and use repeatedly. And like its printed counterpart, ANSWERS on-line is the result of extensive research to find out what today's consumers expect during the course of buying and/or selling a home and what kind of help they really want and need.
