Description

In this rapid and robust read, Home Inspection expert Wally Conway, "The Happy Home Inspector" reveals home inspection secrets to remove the mystery, fear and frustration from the home inspections. He honed his home inspection skills in over 5,000 houses before being discovered by HGTV for "House Detective" and DIY Network on "Finders Fixers." Wally hosts "The Home and Garden Show" broadcast from WOKV in Jacksonville, Florida. Wally's unique blend of experience and the talent to tell the tale make for an enjoyable read. Who is this book for.....and what will you learn? Homebuyers will be able to eliminate surprise and unexpected expenses while feeling true peace of mind with their purchase decision. Home sellers can have their homes sold in less time and for closer to the asking price by inspecting the home at the time of listing. Realtors and real estate agents will learn how to reduce their liability, close more deals, and create an all referral business. Understand the difference and uses of the home inspection, home warranty, survey, and appraisal in reducing buyers risk, seller's liability and Realtors commission. How to prepare for the arrival of the home inspector at your house. What questions should you ask a home inspector before hiring them? What special training or tools should they have in addition to a certification and home inspection license? Is a simple home inspection checklist enough or is a more detailed home inspection report better? Should new homes be inspected, or should you trust that the city building inspector did enough when he said the house met the minimum building code? Do home inspectors inspect for building code violations? What should be done with the list of repairs for the property that the home inspector reports? How much should a home inspection Cost what services should be included beyond a basic home inspection checklist. What tools should you expect a trusted home inspection expert to bring to the property inspection? Can a home inspector do a complete home inspection without using an infrared camera? Could a real estate agent who refers a home inspector who does not use an infrared camera be considered negligent in making the referral? Is there a fundamental difference in how a home inspector should view a home in Jacksonville or St Augustine Florida compared to Denver, Dallas or your town? Is there a home inspection mindset that leads to peace of mind during and after the inspection of the house and property? Who is this book NOT for? This book is NOT a how to DO a home inspection checklist like those from Holmes on Holmes TV star Mike Holmes, but a how to choose a home inspector and how to USE a home inspection guide! It's also NOT a how to repair guide like Bob Vila or the This Old House books. And it is for sure NOT a technical home inspection book like Norman Becker has written for home inspectors. Truth be told, if you've enjoyed the description of" Home Inspection Secrets of A Happy Home Inspector" enough to read the all the way to the bottom of the description, you will enjoy reading the entire book!
