About Me

Fred Turner is a Christian father of five currently living in DuPage County, Illinois and has been married to his wife Denise since July of 1989. Together, they have raised and homeschooled their children. They were involved in theater for 16 years, enjoyed the outdoors, music, concerts, pickleball, entertaining friends, family and often vacationing in the Northwoods of Tomahawk, Wisconsin.


Fred Turner has worked with homes in various capacities for the last 33 years. He has worked as a publisher for Homes for Sale by Owner magazine for 17 years, a realtor, a sales manager for a roofing and siding company, and a project manager. Today he currently works as a repair estimator for a restoration company. Fred is certified in water restoration (IICRC), hail damage assessment (HAAG), and has extensive training in the subrogation of claims.


A major turning point in Fred’s life was when the real estate market took a huge hit in 2007 and tanked in 2008 from the Great Real Estate Recession. Fred and his business partners had to close down their Home For Sale By Owner magazine business and Fred decided to change direction into a different career path of home restoration which he has been doing for the past 15 plus years.


Fred is currently working on his third book about navigating the property claims process, which is scheduled for release in late May or early June of 2025.


Blessings to you on your quest to becoming a Happy Homeowner with No Regrets.


By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. Proverbs 24:3-4
