Thank God for Barry Stone

I bought this book to help through the process of buying a home that I had inspected already but felt as if the inspection wasn't accurate. The inspector found barely anything wrong with the 50 year old home I was buying. I was concerend, especially considering the inspector was a personal friend of my real estate agent. I chose this book over others due to Barry's national status as a columnist and after reading it, I hired my own inspector based upon Barry's insights. What I learned about the home in terms of what had not been disclosed to me was enough to consider action against both my agent and home inspector. Above all else, the old furnace was emitting hazardous fumes into the home. Thank God for Barry and this book.

Fabulous Book

I've been reading Barry Stone's columns in my newspaper for years. As an avid investor in residential propoerties, I have followed Barry's advice with pinpoint accuracy as his advice has kept me from making mistakes that would have cost me a fortune. I bought his book and have found it to be a remarkable warehouse of information that serves to protect both everyone including the buyers, sellers and even the many real estate agents who in my opinion often lead unknowledged comsumers down the path of home purchase without a clue as to how to protect them from buying a home that could be riddled with defects. I applaud this book and Barry Stone's continued efforts to place into the marketplace the most sound and sane advice I've read from any home inspection manual.

Great teaching tool for homeowners

Mr. Stone has managed once again to provide the consumer with a wealth of practical knowledge. His easy-going nature and vast experience is translated into a must read for any potential, or current, homeowner as well as anyone in the real estate and inspection professions.
