Dear Monty: We are first-time home buyers. Being rookies, we get lots of advice from family and friends. Still, the process is different with everyone giving us advice. We would appreciate step-by-step guidance on exactly what we should be doing all the way through. How do we make an offer on a home?

You will often hear people say, “I wish I had known that when we bought our house.” By following the steps and reading the links in each step below, you may never make the “wish I had known” comment.
