Happy Homeowners Home Maintenance Journal. Available in both Paperback and Hard Cover.
Available in Paperback on Amazon.com
by Fred Turner (Author)
Every home needs a journal documenting remodeling, updating, repairs, and maintenance. Keep all of your important home information organized in one place.
My oldest daughter and her husband bought their first single-family home several years ago, which is a Victorian-style home built in 1901. The house came with a journal documenting all the updates, remodeling, and repairs done over the 120+ years it has existed. This was such a great idea, I thought every household should have the same home maintenance journal that can be passed on to future owners.
This home maintenance Journal will allow you to document the following:
Remodeling, updates, repairs, and who completed them. Rating of the contractor and their contact information. Property maintenance tips, seasonal checklists, property component terms, diagrams, and much more.
Just some of the Helpful Information within this book:
- Remodeling,
- Updates
- Repairs and who completed them.
- Rating of the contractor & contact information
- Property maintenance tips
- Seasonal checklists
- Property component terms
- Diagrams, and much more

The Happy Homeowners HANDBOOK For Selling Your Home "By Owner": Sell Your Home and Save Thousands in Commissions.
Available in Paperback on Amazon.com
By Fred Turner (Author)
Considering selling your home yourself and saving thousands? This short handbook will quickly walk you through the process. Some topics addressed in this book are:
- Benefits of selling your home yourself
- How much money can your save?
- Preparing your home for sale
- Pricing, marketing, and showing your home
- Buyer’s pre-approvals, lawyer, inspection
- Negotiating and preparing for the move
- Closing costs, helpful resources, and more.
Why would any homeowner want to sell their own home themselves? To save money and to have more control over the selling process. Who knows your home, neighborhood, and nearby area better than you? Why would you do much of the remodeling work on your home to save money, then give away tens of thousands in real estate commissions?
The goal of this book is to share knowledge, advice, and tips that will assist you in selling your home yourself, the “By Owner” way and save tens of thousands of dollars in real estate commissions.
Not everyone is cut-out to sell their home themselves. This is a commitment you are undertaking; it should not be an “I’ll give this a try.” You should give the same length of time commitment to sell your home by owner as you would give a Realtor if he or she was listing your home, which is typically at least 3 months. You are not in this process alone. Once you assemble your team of professionals they can assist you along the way.
