Product Description
Most home buyers are unaware of what occurs behind the scenes during the purchase of a home -- typically the biggest investment of their lifetime. The author has taken time off from training home inspectors and conducting home inspections to provide home buyers with detailed information on what actually occurs during the home purchase process with respect to home inspections. This informative book helps home buyers better understand the concerns they should have regarding the real estate agent/home inspector relationship. Through checklists, color photos, and tables, this book helps buyers evaluate a home they are considering purchasing, as well as home inspection firms. Hopefully this book will help many home buyers be smarter consumers in purchasing a new home, or in purchasing their next home.
