Sell Your Home in Any Market

March 1, 2008
Whether your local housing market is cooling off or freezing up, this book is sure to offer your readers a little hope. Although the title sounds like a late-night infomercial, the contents are surprisingly concise and straightforward. With unwavering optimism, Remley ("Make Millions Selling Real Estate"), a successful industry veteran and columnist for "Realty Times" and "Broker Agent News", attempts to outline every avenue available to today's seller, including pricing, promotion, incentives, and staging. He also offers tips on evaluating offers and managing transactions. Many useful technical details, i.e., price points and database aggregators, are also fundamentally introduced. The author demonstrates a particular knack for delivering unhappy newsas when your house is overpricedin a gentle and earnest way. He includes pertinent data and cites useful web sites throughout. Geared toward the "For Sale by Owner" demographic, his book lacks any real evaluation criteria or advice on dealing with real estate agents. This title looks to be a forerunner on the subject of selling in a down market. Recommended for all libraries.Tracy Mohaidheen, M.L.I.S., West Bloomfield, MI
