This book is the best investment you can make

This book was indispensable while I was selling my house. The numerous practical tips on preparing a house for sale and the explanation of the legal ins and outs were certainly helpful, but what was absolutely invaluable was the advice on avoiding the emotional pitfalls that can make you miserable and keep you from making the best business deal. Using this book's advice, I priced my house right and staged it well, and it sold very quickly for above the asking price.This is a very small investment that will help you with a six-figure financial transaction, so it's well worth the cover price.

Absolutely practical

With no other experience than this book and its sister 'House Buying for Dummies' I have done 3 transactions over the last two years. I used them as overviews, instruction manuals and reference guides. Covers the basics in straight forward language, and also goes into sufficient detail to not require buying another books. Don't be fooled or ashamed of the title. There is nothing but intelligence in this book.

Positively insightful!

I've read a couple of Dummies books. Some were not very helpful. But this one was superb! Honestly, I thought I knew everything I needed to know about selling my house before I read the book. But, when I read the book, I realized there were LOTS of things I had never even considered. Details about how to clean the house before you sell. Techniques for getting top dollar from my house. Even some humbling advice (like, sell based on the market, not on your need).If you're going to sell a house, and especially if you're going to sell FSBO, you have to read this book. It's worth the investment in time and money.

Great help for the home seller

This book was extremely useful for me when I sold my house in New Hampshire last summer; I am now buying another copy because I gave mine to my father, whom I am helping sell his Seattle-area home.This book will help you in a buyer's market or a seller's market or inbetween, or even if you do decide to eventually use a realtor.(Now, when will they come out with "Writing Dummies Books for Dummies"? :-} )

Worth its weight in gold!

I dreaded selling with a real estate agent but this book clearly explained how the industry works and the keys to selling houses. By following the advice in this book, I successfully interviewed several agents and picked one who did an outstanding job getting me a high price and a quick closing. Book is filled with lots of great tips for getting a home ready to sell. I didn't have the time to sell myself but for those who do, this book shows the tricks of the trade
