5.0 out of 5 stars Top Notch Book, June 14, 2000

By	daric mcfarland (Indianapolis, Indiana) - See all my reviews

I got this book for my dad for Father's Day because he and my mother are planning on selling their home and buying a smaller home. the For Sale By Owner comments in some of the other reviews caught my eye because my parents want to sell their home themselves. I started looking through the guide out of curiosity and found myself reading more than half the book. Besides being informative and detailed, it's actually interesting and somewhat funny. i ended up giving it to my father early and he read the entire guide in two days. he said it was the first time he's ever read a how-to book from cover to cover and he's bought over 50! i recommend this book to all people who are planning on buying and selling a home in the future (which is just about everybody) because it is exceptionally clear, informative and jam-packed with advice, facts and data. And it makes a great gift. My dad loved it and is using it to get their home ready to sell By Owner.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buying or Selling a Home on the Web, April 5, 2000

By	Linda Saeger (Lutz, FL) - See all my reviews

This is an outstanding book that offers all the websites to real estate Internet surfing and is full of practical advice for people who want to sell or buy their own home (and save money) without using a listing real estate agent. The author made this book easy to understand for a novice with sidebar tips like "Real Deal", "Real Estate Terms", "Check this out" and the summaries at the end of chapters called "The Least You Need to Know". The chapter on negotiation methods for buyers and sellers offered me a lot of insight and useful techniques.

5.0 out of 5 stars superb book-saved the day, June 5, 2000

By A Customer

I had to take the time to review this book because my husband and I almost lost our dream home. This superb book helped us save our transaction at the last minute and avoid a horrible lawsuit. Thank God a friend referred us to this book or we wouldn't be living in the perfect home for us. We were buying a home For Sale By Owner and were working with the most difficult seller imaginable. With the help of this guide we not only salvaged the deal, but got better terms and more repairs made to the home. Thank you so much to the author and publisher for writing this book-it's phenomenal. The negotiating chapter is worth thousands of dollars. And to all those buying or selling homes By Owner or even with Realtors-don't do anything until you buy this book. You will be so glad you did.
