                                            From the Author
                                      
                  Written for home consumers and real estate professionals
Written both for the residential consumer (buyers/tenants, sellers/landlords)and the real estate professional(agents/ brokers, appraisers, home inspectors/ environmental consultants, banks and mortgage companies, insurers, developers), this book has been endorsed by The Appraisal Institute, The National Ass'n of Environmental Risk Auditors, and HUD's Consumer Clearinghouse, received excellent reviews by Booklist, The Environmental Lawyer, Environmental Building News and various other national and local print media, and is a Doubleday Health Book Club selection. The chapter on "Disclosure Obligations was just re- printed in the Summer/97 issue of Real Estate Business. This is not a scare book -- our environmental philosophy is "there is risk and there is risk that matters"! While in some circumstances those needlepoints hanging in countless homes really should read "Home Sweet Home -- It Ain't" I believe we are successful in advancing the notion that environmental issues should be treated as a constructive part of the home buying process, rather than as obstacles that cannot be overcome.
