Rating: Summary: An incredibly informative and useful book! Review: I found 'Sell It By Owner & Save'easy to read and understand.If you ever think you want to sell your home without a Broker,this is the book to buy!!! Until I read "Sell It By Owner and Save", I knew very little about Real Estate. The author, Michael Kloian has a unique style which conveys his sincerity towards your success in selling your own home and saving thousands of $$$'s in commission. Wow!!! With 25 years experience as a Broker he shares his knowledge, experience and 'secrets'. Talk about going right to the 'Source' when purchasing a "How To" kind of book.... !!!!!! To add to the value of purchasing this book it also included a website where you can purchase Sales Contracts and other pertinent forms, which I found to be totally 'non-intimating'. With this book - who needs a Broker!!!!
Rating: Summary: Help in Selling Your Own Home Review: I recently bought several books in preparation for selling our own home - otherwise known as "for sale by owner" or FSBO (pronounced "fizzbow"). While each book had some useful information, by far the most informative was written by a broker named Michael M. Kloian. This book gives insights into the marketing strategies used by realtors and has practical advice on handling most of the situations arising when dealing with potential home-buyers as well as realtors. The book is easy to understand, has a detailed table of contents (next edition will also have an index), and comes with access to a variety of useful "e-forms" that can be downloaded to your computer.
Rating: Summary: Excellent reference book! Review: I was clueless about how to proceed in selling my home myself, but this book has provided me with all of the information I need. It is an honest assessment of how to sell your own home and is easy to read in and organized format, which will make it easy for future reference.
Rating: Summary: A no-nonsense guide to sell your own home Review: It is complete, it is thoughful and its realistic. What a great book. I have always planned to sell my own home and this book has given me the details and the confidence to do it to save money as well as have more control over the process. A great book!
Rating: Summary: Top Marks for an Excellent, well Researched book. Review: Seldom does one find in self-help books the kind of frank, insightful advice that one does in Michael Kloian's book. Not only did I find the information accurate and reliable but also totally consistent with my experiences in real estate for over 20 years. But it is also an entertaining book, one written with a sense of humor and compassion by someone who has a genuine concern for the average homeowner with little experience. It is written without pretense and in a style that is eminently readable. I found particularly insightful and revealing many of the inside tips that only someone with the author's long experience in working with both buyers and sellers could possibly know, and yet be willing to share. A cursory glance at the table of contents alone will illustrate to anyone the depth and breath of the author's sweep of all the salient issues attendant to the task of selling or in fact even buying a home. I found nothing overlooked and must even say that the frank discussion of unforeseen problems was both important and necessary for the unwary homeowner to read. His advice on when and how to engage professionals in the process will save homeowners a great deal of money while at the same time provide them with the requisite tools to act responsibly and professionally in all their transactions. It is a pungent and strikingly honest book and one that deserves high praise. I heartily recommend the book to anyone interested in either buying or selling their own home. It was a pleasure to read and confirmed all that I myself have learned in my many years in the business. - A reader in San Francisco.
