About Us

Hi, I’m Kris Bickell. And started www.HouseBuying-Tips.com in 2003 to help homebuyers avoid the costly mistakes I made when buying my first home. Having lost several thousand dollars due to lazy realtors and an under-qualified home inspector, and having nearly lost out on finding our current home, I decided to create a website with the tips and resources I used during the home buying process - and several more I learned about after getting burned.

Buying a house is a stressful, busy – and exciting – event. So I decided to share with you the mistakes and lessons I learned the hard way. Hopefully, you won’t have to experience these same costly mistakes.

While I am not a professional realtor or real estate expert, I did take enough notes – and make enough mistakes – during our most recent home buying experience that unfortunately I feel I’m qualified to call myself a “home buying mistake expert”. And I hope these tips will help you save lots of time, money, and headaches, too.

I now live in the beautiful town of Cheshire CT, with my wife, 3 kids, and dog.
(For more info see Cheshire, CT).

If you ever have any questions, or just need to talk with someone who has been through the process of buying a house, please feel free to contact me.
