Summary: The Absolute Truth
Review: This book will pay for itself a thousand fold if you follow its directions. Our previous home had been on the market for about a month with no real response. This was in a market where homes around us were moving in two to three weeks. After we read this book and "dynamized" our home, we sold our home within two weeks at the listing price (which our realtor thought was too high based on her market analysis). We are now "dynamizing" again in preparation for selling our current home.

Summary: I use it for my real estate sellers
Review: This is an excellent book. I used it when I was selling my home on my own and it works...and now that I am a Realtor, I give it to my customers. Martha gives not only very helpful advice about neutralizing, cleaning, etc. but goes a giant leap farther by her "dynamizing"...turning an average house into a model home. I've seen homes that are worth so much more go for $30,000 under appraisal for the simple fact that they don't know how to get their home ready to sell. This will work, use it and get out of your home what you deserve.

Summary: The best looking house gets the best price!
Review: Would you rather move into a house with broken stairs and peeling paint or one that had been fixed up? I would rather buy a house with fresh paint, newly carpeted floors and windows that shone as you looked out of them. My husband gives real estate advice to many of his clients and gives this book to many a client. We all see our own homes as perfect. The problem arises when someone comes into our homes and can see things we don't see or don't care about as much as someone else does. This books will tell you everything you need to know. Try to think of the buyer and then of course how much more money you will be making. Good Motivation! My advice is to do all your decorating and repairs first, then get a cleaning service and deep clean everything. When you move out you will not have to work as hard! Who wants to clean two houses then? Your attention is better spent on your new home at that point. Who knows, maybe after your home is all spiffed up...you won't want to sell it! Just kidding!
