Who else sells inspection customer’s homeowner books?
A Many booklets and pamphlets are available. However, there are three fine books oriented primarily toward inspectors’ customers: HomePro (703-761-1400) had the first complete book ( Homebook ) that worked well. Carson-Dunlop’s (800-268-7070) Home Reference Book apparently was modeled on the Homebook and its print quality is superb. Our Homexam book (The User-Friendly Home) began in the 1970s before the Homebook existed, but was not completed until later. A recent addition is the Homeowner’s Manual (call Reginald Niles, at 408-729-0790); it is a very nice book. As of 2009, several other books have been publihed. Dozens– probably hundreds– of inspectors have told us they consider Homexam books to be the best. Most who have examined all three of the major books seem to consider the Home Reference Book to be their second choice, and some consider it to be superior to Homexam’s books. Wise inspectors probably should buy all three and at least use them as reference books.
