50 Simple Steps You Can Take to Sell Your Home Faster and for More Money in Any Market

Tricks to hide imperfections and strategies for conning prospective buyers into paying more than a home is worth are not what Glink (100 Questions Every First-Time Home Buyer Should Ask; 50 Simple Things You Can Do to Improve Your Personal Finances) offers in this volume. In fact, she repeatedly advises against all of that:""it will always come back to haunt you."" Rather, she provides an extensive list of honest home-improvement and selling process tips, many of which--though they are truly simple--might not occur to home-sellers, especially first-timers. Clearing clutter, paring down holiday decorations, working with the right agent, and pricing a home accurately to reflect its condition--because""a prospective buyer will walk around your house looking for reasons not to buy your house""--are all important, and Glink explains why and how. Helpful appendices include a room-by-room checklist and a glossary of terms for readers who don't know their ARM from their APR. Well-organized and clearly written, this an exceptionally helpful reference book.
