1.0 out of 5 stars This book is a thinly disguised advertising for realtors, November 22, 2001

By A Customer

This book is a thinly disguised attempt to convince a seller that only a realtor has the ability to handle the transaction so that it goes smoothly and gets the best price.

There is a "should I sell my home myself checklist" (ie: For Sale By Owner 'FSBO') that is cleverly worded to intimidate and discourage anyone from FSBO.

Also, it practically glorifies the abilities of realtors and paints the whole process as extremely complex and it suggests to the seller to accept the most restrictive and lucrative contract that a realtor can get.

Some may say that the information is good but given that it is embedded in such an intimidating and confidence reducing tone, I would reccomend you search for other books that, instead, explain the process clearly and completely in such a mannor that you feel confident in your understanding of it - regardless of whether you use a realtor or not....

1.0 out of 5 stars No facts only a promotion of real estate agents, November 13, 2002

By	Stan Lessard (Cleveland OH) - See all my reviews

This book is useless because of its clear bias against selling by owner. Even a real estate agent knows that the best way to sell your house fast and net the highest amount of money is to sell it yourself.

BOTTOM LINE: A poor attempt by a real estate agent to promote the commission-based real estate industry.
Book is useless!

5.0 out of 5 stars It Really Worked!, March 15, 2000

By	Jacqueline Berry (Pennsylvania, USA) - See all my reviews

We needed all the help we could get to sell our home due to our not so good location. This book provided excellent suggestions, many of which we were able to utilize using very little money. It provided explanations and sample forms to help us understand the intricacies of real estate. We sold our home for full price two days after we listed it! Thank you
