Kiplinger Quiz: Should You Buy a Home?

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

A simple, 10-question quiz that most people (at least Realtors) will be able to pass easily. Okay, so I missed the one about the FICO score ... I didn't read the question correctly :-)  But it's a good quiz to pass on to your buyers (especially first-timers) because it might encourage them to ask more questions about the home-buying process:  Should You Buy a Home? 

I think sometimes we assume that buyers know more than they really do about financing, title insurance, closing costs, etc.  These quick, easy quizzes may open the door to questions early in the process instead of trying to stuff the information into their heads two days before closing.  Check out a couple of the other quizzes on the Kiplinger site:

Hi Glenda ~ Thanks for the link. Those were fun.  I got one wrong on each. I didn't know the answer to the Roth question and in the selling quiz the answer was a surprise - SPOILER ALERT - I figured it was closets. Since I live in the Northeast I would never have guessed A/C. So much for being green!

Thanks for commenting, Elizabeth!  I got the Roth one wrong, too ...
