A insider's look at the real estate game presented in clear, succinct prose & with an irreverent sense of humor. A "must read" for first time buyers or sellers, Kennedy's sound advice can save them from expen$ive missteps. Experienced house-traders will smile - & wince - as they see their past sales reflected in this book. And by the end, both groups will want to keep that "marvelous agent we used the last time" on their Christmas card list.

Only some of us are old enough to remember the time before ever increasing value and just wanting to sell your house made it happen. It seems the "Buyer's Market" of olden times is returning and the decisions you make regarding the sale will influence your success in selling, the price you get, and the drama you will endure.

The Irreverent Guide lays out your choices in both buying and selling with humor and clarity. It explains the unintended consequences of each choice and gives the reader a roadmap for pitfalls in the process. It is a very valuable tool in a market that demands a more careful process than we have been used to.

The author's sense of humor and enjoyment of her career in home real estate carry the reader along through a subject that causes stress and anxiety when you are the buyer or seller. This is an excellent resource and fun to read.

You've got to read this book before buying or selling a house. It is today's most relevant and timely insider's view of what the real estate business is all about and how to turn transactions to your advantage. Pat's not only a pro in the business but she knows how to make a point through real stories.
