Lisa Turner, Congratulations!

  



Congratulations to Netwest member, author Lisa Turner, on her latest book. You can get the paperback or order on Kindle. We all need to have this book if we own a home or plan to own a home one day.


It is a handbook on home inspections for home buyers, sellers, homeowners, and real estate professionals.

I purchased Lisa's book, House Keys, The Essential Homeowner's Guide, and also gave it to friends and family. Lisa intersperses facts with stories of challenges she faced as she crawled under houses with only a flashlight. She writes from her experiences as a female home inspector, just one of the many positions she has held in her life. She also built her own airplane and flew it.  She tells that story in Dream Take Flight.



One reviewer said she never would have thought she would find a book on home inspections so entertaining she didn't want to put it down.

I plan to read the new book tonight. 


My friends who received the book, House Keys, were delighted to find the answers to many of their concerns and questions about their homes. I'm sure the new book will be packed with more relevant information. 



Lisa's website and blog are chock full of advice for the self-published author
