Comments from our editors:
Catch property defects and safety hazards before they catch you. Veteran home inspector and syndicated columnist Barry Stone, "The House Detective," lifts the veil of misinformation regarding real estate disclosure and home inspection.

This inclusive and comprehensive field guide advises readers how to: protect themselves from undisclosed defects; understand the essentials of the home inspection process; select the most qualified home inspector; avoid unqualified inspectors and unreliable recommendations; gain more from the home inspection through direct participation and apply and benefit from the disclosed information.

Stone provides a home inspectiong checklist showing what a home inspector should look for during the inspection process. He provides consumers with inspecting insights for new construction.

StoneÆs practical advice on the use of information obtained during a home inspection enables homebuyers to negotiate the best deal, get the seller to handle major repairs before move-out, and-most important-avoid buying a money pit.
