Description
Will Your New House Deserve a Penalty Flag? Moving into a new house is exciting. For once, everything seems to be in perfect condition-you're ready to relax and enjoy it. But is it just a facade? Under the surface may lurk mold, termites, or gas leaks. Time to throw the penalty flag! And that's the specialty of professional home inspector Chris Perry. Also a high school football referee, Chris has written this book to educate you about home inspections-so that your next move will be unaccompanied by nasty surprises. Within these pages you will discover: Why a home inspection is essential, both for buyers and sellers How to pick a home inspector who's actually worth the money What types of inspections exist, and which you need How to maximize your benefit from the inspection report And much more! Reading this book won't make you a home inspector-just like reading a football rulebook won't make you a referee. But you will be equipped to make the right decision as you approach the significant step of buying a house. It's game time!
