More DescriptionThis is the more affordable version of How To Save Thousands of Dollars on the Purchase or Sale of a Home. All photographs will appear in black and white. For the full color print edition, click on the + sign next to paperback in the formats box.An alternative title for this book would be "How To Pass A Home Inspection." Too often, home sales are slowed down, huge seller concessions need to be made, or real estate deals completely break down over issues that could have or should have been addressed prior to listing or signing a purchase and sales agreement.This book is written in sections to help everyone involved in a real estate transaction get the most value of out a home sale.Section 1 offers tips for home sellers, including suggestions on "staging" your house for a home inspection.Section 2 includes tips for real estate agents on helping your sellers avoid costly concessions (and therefore avoiding a lowered sales commission) by encouraging your clients to "fix it before they list it."Section 3 helps investors understand that the days of flipping a property for a quick profit are over. It may look good on TV with actors, but if you spend your time and money on fixing the wrong things, a real home inspector is going to call you on the carpet.Section 4 encourages buyers to look for the house that you really want by following the guide. It also explains how to do your pre-sale homework to save everyone, including yourself, time and money.The next fourteen chapters of the book detail a home inspection (including 600+ photographs). At the end of each chapter is a review of the items that were discussed and the repairs or concessions that should be made or asked for prior to closing.Also included are sections and information on wood boring insects, hazardous waste and chemicals commonly found in homes, hazardous building materials and gasses such as asbestos, lead, mercury, methane and radon as well as mold and how these things can impact your home.
