How do you Redirect an owned domain to a wordpress blog?

The company already owns the Domain housebuzz.com and I was wondering how I can direct that domain to my wordpress blog.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
When purchasing a domain and domain mapping the content stays exactly where it is. All that changes is the URL and nothing else.

In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from, and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades to purchase upgrades for the blog.
See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
See here for mapping an existing domain that you already own http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/map-existing-domain/
After you do the primary blog set up it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
