Product Description
From the Author
This is the only book of its kind. I have dealt with tens of thousands of for sale by owner homesellers over the past decade in my for sale by owner real estate magazine business Picket Fence Preview. The information in the book comes from field-tested case studies with real private homesellers...it really does work. We have learned from direct experience what is effective in selling a home by owner and more importantly what is not effective. Over 85% of our publication advertisers sell so the "proof is in the pudding."

Beware,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Sell Your Own Home: The Homeowners Guide to Selling Property by Owner Rd Revision / (Paperback)
Do not believe this book. Hiring a realtor is the BEST way to sell your house. I tried to use this book and lost thousands of dollars and ended up hiring a realtor anyways. The keys to selling a house are advertising and having a way for buyers and their realtors to see your house at all times of the day. This book does NOT provide adequate information on this, and you do need a realtor for the advertising and access to your house for showing.

Easy reading, takes the mystery out of selling a home.,

This review is from: How to Sell Your Own Home: The Homeowners Guide to Selling Property by Owner Rd Revision / (Paperback)
I publish a FSBO Magazine and have read MANY books on "how to" but this one, by far, is the best. It's well organized and easy to understand for people who want to avoid paying real estate commissions. Dr. Supple has done a superb job of taking buyers and sellers right through to the closing.

Great book for the by owner seller,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Sell Your Own Home: The Homeowners Guide to Selling Property by Owner Rd Revision / (Paperback)
This book is the only one like it I have ever seen on the market. The information is well-organized, useful and not intimidating. The author - who publishes a for sale by owner real estate magazine - has direct experience with thousands of private homesellers like me! The best chapters are those that deal with Pricing the house, how to show the house and interact with buyers and how to hammer out the deal so that everyone is happy.I've read other books by disgruntled real estate agents that want to "get back" at their profession by writing a for sale by owner book...they all stink. They fail to understand that real estate agents ONLY deal with those that fail in selling by owner. Stay with Supple, his advice is unique and proven. You can see the real life examples of those that have successfully sold from his advice at the web site for his Vermont magazine ... Robert Larsen 47 of 53 people found the following review helpful:

High on rah-rah, lower on technique,
By Paul L. Schultz "takatsu5" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Sell Your Own Home: The Homeowners Guide to Selling Property by Owner Rd Revision / (Paperback)
I want to sell my home by myself. Dr. Supple seems to say that a real estate lawyer is a necessity, but I know people who haven't used one. Probably they are well worth it, but real estate agents don't contract with them. The point up to the marketing plan, advertising, preparation, appraising, etc. is well written, but the section after the offer is made, which includes signing a sales contract, buyers getting financing, etc. lacked details. I would have liked a matrix of necessary paperwork (i.e. Warranty Deed, Settlement Statement or Property Tax Pro-rating), who prepares it, when it is prepared, who pays for it, and if the cost can be settled closing. The long prose sections are good for detailed explanations, but I know what each of the documents is. I just need to know who takes care of them (prepping, signing, sealing). My review title refers to the fact that Supple seems to need to keep convincing people who have already decided to sell by owner. I bought the book based on the previous reviews, and gave this book 3 stars as a way to balance the somewhat overly positive praise.
