This publication translates practitioner knowledge into clear guidance without attaching it to a public personality.
Editorial mission
Inspected Home Buyer exists for one reader: the person about to commit hundreds of thousands of dollars to a building they have walked through twice. We translate what home inspectors, testers, and tradespeople know into plain-English guides — national essentials like the inspection contingency and radon testing, plus state-by-state coverage of disclosure laws, licensing rules, and the regional hazards that actually move deals. The goal is never to scare you out of a house; it is to make sure you know what you are buying before you buy it.
Standards
- Scope before certainty. General guidance cannot cover every specific situation.
- Implications before drama. Findings are most useful when the reader understands why they matter and what to do next.
- Clear role boundaries. Guides do not replace qualified professionals.
- Commercial transparency. Affiliate relationships are disclosed, and commissions do not change the editorial conclusion.
- Corrections welcomed. Readers can use the contact page to flag an error or outdated statement.
What this site is not
