Home Starts Here: A First-Time Home Buyers Guide for Women Over 40

Author:

Robin DeFleice

Description:

It's never too late to own a home-or rewrite your story.

In Home Starts Here, Robin DeFleice shares her deeply personal journey of buying her first home at age 66 and becoming a licensed real estate agent soon after. This empowering and practical guide is designed specifically for women over 40 who may think the opportunity for homeownership has passed them by. Whether you've faced setbacks, navigated divorce, raised a family, or simply thought it was out of reach, this book proves you are not too old-and it is not too late.

With warmth, encouragement, and step-by-step guidance, Robin walks you through every phase of the buying process-from financial readiness and credit tips to inspections, closing, and even turning your new home into a source of income. Drawing on her experience as a former mental health case manager and now Realtor(R), she offers tools, real talk, and insider knowledge to help you buy with confidence.

Inside, you'll find:

✔ How to prepare emotionally and financially for homeownership

✔ A full breakdown of the homebuying timeline and key terms

✔ Budget worksheets, checklists, and support resources

✔ Ways to build equity, earn extra income, and maximize your investment

✔ Motivation for women who've been told they ""missed their chance""

If you've ever wondered, ""Can I still do this?""-this book is your answer: Yes, you can.
