Author Bio:
We are Peter and Sharon Bare, and we’ve been passionate about real estate long before becoming licensed realtors. Our journey included buying, renting, renovating, and selling over a dozen properties for ourselves, along with assisting hundreds of clients in their real estate ventures.
For more than two decades, countless weekends and evenings were dedicated to fixing, prepping, and staging homes for new tenants or buyers. Our 37-year marriage has included 24 years in this industry together. Even our kids grew up spotting real estate potential, pointing out home features during family drives—making real estate a constant part of our lives.
Each year, we actively participate in 10-20 home inspections with our clients, alongside one of the best inspectors. Through these experiences, we’ve consistently observed what factors can derail a sale or lead to post-inspection price renegotiations.
We’ve also discovered affordable strategies that reliably increase home value. Motivated by these findings, we brainstormed ways to share this valuable knowledge, which led to this book. We hope it provides the insights you need in your real estate journey.
