How to avoid buying a “lemon” house

(7 steps to discovering the truth behind your dream home –
before you buy it)

Find out the truth about your dream home – before you buy it

Are you worried about the hidden things that people don’t tell you about because they want to sell the house?

Homebuyers want to know about the kinds of things they need to be careful of, such as the home inspection, or the title of the house; these are examples of the hidden things that normally people don’t talk about because they want to sell the house.

As a homebuyer, you’re interested in learning about the information that tends to hide and how to pull it out. And then when all the “dirty stuff” comes out then the rest is easier.

The “Dirty Stuff” is, for example: what would happen if the inspection doesn’t expose everything, or how do you know that the paperwork for the house is in order?

What you don’t know could cost you dearly
If you don’t know what’s hidden, what if the house needs a repair in 5 years or in 2 years, what if it needs something fixed that it’s going to cost a lot of money?

Discover important
hidden issues

What happens when you don’t know if a problem with the house is supposed to show up in the home inspection report, or if the sellers are obligated to report it, or if you need to pay for it yourself anyway? Those hidden things turn into hidden expenses.

And there could be hidden expenses everywhere – not only in the house itself, but also with the title, and the loan, and all the fees that you are supposed to pay when you buy a house.

Then, to try to avoid not knowing what hidden expenses you might be missing, you try to find answers from a trusted source. You try to find the truth.

You feel that it’s very important that you learn the truth
You feel that it’s important that things are clear, especially when buying a house, because the cost of making a mistake is high. So it’s better to find the things that are hidden before they become expensive mistakes – and that can only be done by learning about the process, about what kinds of things are important, and what kinds of things you need to be careful of.

Buying a house without knowing much about it could be expensive
Buying a house and not knowing anything about it is like buying a car without knowing anything about it: in either case, you want to know enough so you don’t get stuck with a lemon.

Nobody wants to be stuck with a lemon!
Wouldn’t it be great to know how to discover the hidden things about the house that you want to buy – and make sure it’s not a lemon?

How to avoid the top 7 mistakes when selecting the professionals who support your transaction
During a real estate transaction, there are several professionals who will be involved in the transaction on your behalf (as a buyer): the lender and the buyer agent, among others. It’s important to avoid making some serious mistakes while hiring your team; having the wrong team could put buying your dream home in jeopardy. Luckily, it’s easy to find out the top 7 mistakes that buyers make and how to avoid them.

Why not having a good buyer agent can cost you up to 20% of the home price
Many home buyers don’t know that a buyer agent can be their best ally; a buyer agent not only helps buyers find the right house. A buyer agent can also help you offer the right amount for a home, negotiate the best possible terms, and protect you from losing your deposit.

How to avoid loan rejection with the 1-2-3 Finances Ready Program
Some homebuyers go out shopping for homes, fall in love with one, and then find out that they are not ready to buy because they can’t get a loan yet. As a buyer, it’s very important for you to understand about all of the financial pieces that need to be in place in order to get a loan approval for buying a home – and avoid disappointment.

Real people share their experience

“Before reading this book, I didn’t think that I would find new information that would apply to my specific situation
The first piece of information that caught my eye was how to prepare my finances to get the best loan. That, right there saved me several thousand dollars,and it felt great!”
— Wonder Woman, Chantilly, VA; Military Mom

Do I really have to learn all of this just to buy a house?
Of course not… some people buy a house and remain blissfully unaware of what could have gone wrong but didn’t… which is great in their case. But what about those extra fees that they could have saved? And what about the people who do end up finding trouble in their way and wish they’d known better?
For some people, it’s worth getting themselves educated in order to save several thousand dollars on an important transaction such as the one for buying a home.


“I quickly learned how to prevent potential issues that I wasn’t aware of…
Before reading this book, I didn’t think that I would find new information that would apply to my specific situation.
However, I quickly realized that there were many useful pointers and I learned how to prevent potential issues that I wasn’t aware of. The first piece of information that caught my eye was how to prepare my finances to get the best loan. That, right there saved me several thousand dollars over the life of the loan. Actually, one of my biggest fears for buying a house was to get a bad loan and have to pay for it dearly for a long time. And it was such a relief to feel in control and being able to choose the right loan for my situation. It felt great!”

Can I trust a book that has been written by a real estate agent?
Every book and author has its place. Would you rather buy a cooking book from an amateur cook or from an accomplished chef? Or would the cooking book be better if it were written by a food critic? The answer is: it depends. Each of these books have a different point of view, and there are good things to learn from each of them.In a similar way, a book about real estate written by a real estate agent has a specific angle with very good and valuable information – it’s like buying a cooking book from a professional chef.

“I would have been a fool to try to learn all this on my own…
At first, I was reluctant to trust this book, but after I read through it, I realized that I would have been a fool to try to learn all this on my own. It would have taken so much time and effort and I would have not known half the stuff anyway. Instead, now I feel confident and relaxed that I know the most important aspects of buying a home and I didn’t have to spend my weekends fretting about whether I was making the right decisions or not.”
– Learning Client, Somewhere, USA

What if…
“What if this book is too bland, without data? What if it’s too wordy, full of marketing material? If it doesn’t help me learn anything then I’d feel worse after reading it.”
