More About This Book

Overview

Finally, here's the book to fill the void for the first-time home buyer who has never had the opportunity or the need to take full responsibility for their home. You are not an idiot if you don't know how to care for your own home, you are simply uninformed about it. There's a big difference.

The Savvy Woman's Guide to Owning a Home will help you become more conversant with your home's functions, how it works and what to expect, without taking up a lot of your valuable time.


From the Author

I noticed that there isn't one homeowner's manual for women who don't want to do-it-yourself, but do need to know how to run and maintain their house. Sure, there are plenty of books on how to fix things, but what about the people who aren't handy with tools? While millions of women own their own homes, what is the percentage of those who know how to maintain the house, much less fix it themselves? Or how about the women married to men who can't use a hammer? Or the homeowners who don't have the time to DIY?

Over the last 20 years, I've helped many of my friends with their homeowner problems-from giving advice to actually doing the job. It was time to write the book.

Jim Cox
Kitty Werner's The Savvy Woman's Guide To Owning A Home: How To Care For, Improve And Maintain Your Home is a charming, energetic, informative, and extraordinarily practical guide to the hundreds of minor pitfalls and dilemmas that come with being a homeowner. From how to prepare for emergencies, to which tools you should keep on hand, to how to evaluate insurance, The Savvy Woman's Guide To Owning A Home: How To Care For, Improve And Maintain Your Home covers it all in clear language easily understandable by the non-specialist reader. The Savvy Woman's Guide To Owning A Home: How To Care For, Improve And Maintain Your Home is indeed so straightforward and packed with useful information that by no means should it truly be confined to the female gender ÿ any male homeowner who is inexperienced in matters of upkeep should consider this guide as well. Very highly recommended.

    Move Over Martha Stewart...

    ...thanks to Kitty Werner, women won't be relegated to the kitchen anymore. Kitty humorously gives the lowdown on everything from steps to take when looking for a home to water heater maintenance after the purchase. A 'must have' for anyone looking to buy a home, SWG is literally filled with well-organized, useful information for every homeowner. Savvy Woman's Guide is a bargain-priced reference book that is destined for the most accessible spot on the smart homeowner's bookshelf.
