"I
use the "Now That You've Had a Home Inspection" book with every home
inspection. It is my standard operating procedure. It encourages my
clients to take personal responsibility for their home...{I wish ALL my
clients would read it !} I want my clients to know that Darrell's Home
Inspections has equipped them with what they need for confidence to
move forward with their transaction and transition into new home
ownership. This book along with a warranty helps with the value added
benefits that we offer." Darrell Freshour, Darrell's Home Inspections, OH
"The book, "Now that you've had a home inspection" is an appreciated gift that adds value to my home inspection." Sean Fogarty, Fogarty Home Inspection Services, TN
"Get your clients & agents to read this book. Have a
contest, give a rebate, whatever it takes. This book can save you time, headaches &
money. I was using one from a well know home inspectors school before I bought this book. This one is far
superior. Do yourself and your customers a favor. Get this book!" Doug Corbridge, Premier Home Inspection, MT
"A few months ago I received an email about
Ben’s book, “Now that you’ve had a home inspection” and
I thought I would get a few and see how my clients liked them. Well I just
received 60 more copies of Ben’s book. My clients love the book. I print
my reports out on site and present the report to the clients in a 3 ring
binder, Ben’s book is already 3 hole punched so it fits in the binder
nicely. The book is full of information and helpful tips for home owners and I
will keep including the books with my home inspection reports." Frank G. Ross, Pillar to Post Home Inspections of SW Utah
"I
consistently get clients who are very surprised at the quality of the
book and the information it contains. I think it is a great resource
for home owners as a “go to” book when they encounter a condition in and
around the home and they just aren’t sure where to start, this can help
clear things up for them and allows them to proceed down the right
path. Great Value! Highly recommended." Jerry Spicer, Sonoran Property Inspections, AZ

Step #3: Correct problems properly
This book will help you do all three steps.
If you hired a certified home inspector - that was a good decision and money well spent. As you know, the home inspector is not an expert but a generalist. Your home inspector inspected the home and reported the home’s condition as it was at the time of the inspection. That is the main responsibility of the home inspector. A home inspection does not include predictions of future events. Future events (such as roof leaks, water intrusion, plumbing drips and heating failures) are not within the scope of a home inspection and are not the responsibility of the home inspector.
Who’s responsible? You are. The new homeowner. Welcome to home ownership. The most important thing to understand as a new homeowner is that things break. As time moves on, parts of your house will wear out, break down, deteriorate, leak or simply stop working.
But relax. Don’t get overwhelmed. You’re not alone. This book is for you and every homeowner experiencing the responsibility of home ownership. Every homeowner has similar concerns and questions. And they are all related to home maintenance.
The following questions are those that all homeowners ask themselves:
#3 “How should it be corrected?”
The answers to these questions are written in this book. This book will guide you through the systems of a typical house, how they work and how to maintain them. The systems include the following: the exterior, interior, roof, structure, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, attic, insulation, bathroom and kitchen.
You will learn what to monitor (what to look for) as the house ages. Most of the conditions and events that you will see and experience will likely be cosmetic and minor. Most homes do not have major material defects.
Throughout the book, there will be references to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors (www.InterNACHI.org). InterNACHI is the world’s largest trade association of residential and commercial building inspectors. The InterNACHI Residential Standards of Practice (SOP) defines what a home inspection is and lists the responsibilities of a home inspector. The SOP is located at http://www.nachi.org/sop.htm.
This book comments upon the responsibilities of a home inspector, because we are assuming that a home inspector has given you this book to read. Sometimes when a new homeowner is performing maintenance, apparent problems are discovered or revealed. Or as time goes by, things in the house leak or fail. A new homeowner experiencing a problem should refer to the Standards of Practice, which outlines the responsibilities and limitations of the home inspector.
Home ownership is a great experience, and home maintenance is a great responsibility. This book will help you enjoy both.


They are giving
the book out to their home buying and selling clients. This is PROOF that agents love the book. Become known by agents that you are the inspector who gives out that great home maintenance book.
