Book Reviews of How to Sell a House Fast in a Slow Real Estate Market: A 30-Day Plan for Motivated Sellers
Book Review: House in Contract. It worked!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was stunned that this book only has only 15 reviews on amazon. It was packed with amazingly useful information to sell my home FSBO. Where I live brokers rule the roost. But because I bought at the peak, I didn't have a choice. I had to sell on my own or lose my entire investment. I followed the advice in this book and invested in staging and marketing, and it paid off hand over fist. Much of the advice is not obvious. People mobbed my open houses, and offers started to roll in on the first day. I did have a couple friends good at decorating come in to give me advice on redecorating to maximize broad appeal. Brokers trying to win my business essentially told me they couldn't really do any better than I was doing already.
In summary, I am in contract already less than one month after putting the house on the market myself, and the broker's commission is all cash in my pocket. I am eternally grateful to the authors. Please note that you have to invest a little money to make the home looked professionally decorated. With help from artistic (gay) friends, design magazines and helpful salespeople at Pier 1 Imports, Home Goods, and similar stores, the home was transformed from boring and functional to ready for a design magazine photo shoot. The money invested in staging paid off 10 time over as people walked in stunned, ready for a bidding war, in a severely depressed market.
If you read this book and follow it religiously and aggressively and have help from friends, you do not need to hire a broker and pay 6%.
