My purpose in writing this book is to help anyone buying, or even contemplating buying, a newly-built home. In doing so I pull no punches but "tell it like it is." What I offer are prudent recommendations and sound advice about how to protect yourself when building or buying a new house or condominium. I disclaim liability for any direct or indirect loss or damage that may result from reading this book. Throughout the book I recommend you hire top flight professionals to help investigate and complete your purchase; in fact, that is the only way that you can come close to being fully protected. No book can substitute for professional, local help. The key is to find the "right" people for your house.
If I have made any factual errors, or misquoted any article or person,
please let me know. If any reader disagrees with my opinions or
recommendations strongly enough to write, I would like to hear from him
or her.
