Sketches of Martha’s Vineyard and Other Reminiscences of Travel at Home, Etc. (1838)

E.C. Monty will admit that he is not an expert on real estate. But what he has been is a homeowner nine times over the last forty years, which makes him an expert on most of the blunders that can happen when building, buying, renovating or selling a home. In Avoiding Home Ownership Blunders, Monty cites numerous examples of things to consider, as well as avoid, when dealing with homebuilders, re-modelers, Realtors, home inspectors, loan companies and buyers. After taking you through many episodes of ownership transactions, some funny and others weird, he leaves you with a checklist of issues to consider when making the home ownership plunge. If youare buying or building your first home, Avoiding Home Ownership Blunders is a must-buy.
