“Suzanne Whang’s Guide to Happy Home Buying,” by Suzanne Whang and Bruce W. Cook (Meredith Books, $19.95)
Leave it to a stand-up comedian to write something funny about real estate. Whang hosts the HGTV show “House Hunters.” Here, she pairs sound advice with hilarious personal anecdotes to guide people into homeownership. Choosing a real estate agent, pre-qualifying for a mortgage and making an offer that can’t be refused are all subjects she addresses. But Whang’s humorous tips on designing your home, keeping it in top condition and avoiding fights with significant others during the house hunt are what really make this book stand out.
