Summary: A comprehensive guide for selling your home
Review: I was expecting a "kit" based on the title. It turned out to be a 210 page paper-back book. The main reason I bought the "kit" was to get sample contracts, but none were included. He does a decent job of describing the basic process, and good ideas on marketing. Overall, I'd look for a better source if you're planning to FSBO your home.

Summary: Read this book before you sell your house
Review: I would recomend anyone who is a first time home seller (like me) to read this book. It is a very good overview of the selling process and full of honest insight from someone who has obviously been involved with real estate sales for a long time. Other books I read had a "get rich quick" feel to them that I found distastefull. This book was honest and objective. My only complaint is that the section covering the purchase agreement could have been a bit more detailed; specifically, concerning closing costs.

After reading this book, I realized how much work it would take to sell by owner, but this book showed me that at any step of the way, I can get help if I need it. And definitely, when it comes to the legal stuff, I'll need lots of help.
