McCormack’s Guides was founded in 1984 by publisher
Don McCormack, a
newspaper reporter and editor.
McCormack’s now publishes 11 relocation-newcomer
guides to the metropolitan
counties of California. The guides are updated annually
and carefully
researched. Price $13.95 each.
"Buying a home or renting is one of the most important
decisions you will
ever make," says McCormack. "And often one
of the most exhausting and
stressful.
"Many times, the choice will come down to a compromise
based on what you can
afford, how far you’re willing to commute, what
you think of the local
schools, and about a dozen other factors.
"Our guides provide information that will clarify
your choices and often
help you make a happy decision and avoid one you will
regret," McCormack
continues.
"The key is good information. Once you have it,
you will be in a better
position to make a sound decision."
McCormack's Guides include community and neighborhood
descriptions, academic
rankings for almost all public schools, SAT scores for
the individual high
schools, crime data by city, weather data, a directory
of private schools
and in almost all guides directories of day-care and
infant-care centers.
Also home prices and rents, commuting choices, food prices,
demographic
data, history, taxes and newcomer information.
"Many Realtors and personnel departments buy our guides but we are not
affiliated with any Realtors or businesses. We do not sell your name to
realty firms or agents or anybody. McCormack's Guides is an independent
publishing house."
McCormack's Guides offers discounts for purchases of 10 or more books
(any mix of titles). Click here to see ordering info.
All our books come with a money-back guarantee.
Summing up, McCormack advises: "Do the research. It often helps immensely.
Our books will also save you time. With the information provided in the
guides, many people zero in on the towns and neighborhoods where they want
to shop for housing."
