How HomeownerPedia works

We write the guide we wish existed when a big home decision lands on you. Every one follows the same three steps.

  1. Read the short answer. Every guide opens with a few lines that answer the question directly.
  2. Compare your options. The guide lays out the routes, the costs to ask about and the trade-offs.
  3. Decide on your own terms. When a partner can help, we say so and we say that they pay us. Using them is always your call.

Common questions

Is HomeownerPedia free?

Yes. Every guide is free to read and you never need an account. Some pages link to partners who may pay us a referral fee if you use them, and we say so on the page.

Who writes the guides?

The HomeownerPedia editorial team. We research each topic from public sources such as state agencies and consumer protection offices, and we write for homeowners in plain language. We are not lawyers, agents or insurers, so our guides are general information and not advice for your specific situation.

Do you recommend specific companies?

Our guides explain how things work and what to ask, without ranking companies against each other. When a partner can help with a next step, the page offers it and tells you that they pay us for referrals. Using a partner is always your choice.

Which states do your guides cover?

Our guides are written for homeowners anywhere in the US. Rules for things like insurance, home sales and contract cancellation vary by state, so each guide points out where your state's rules or your own contract may change the answer.
