Synopsis

Pages of practical, real-world advice to get your house sold for top dollar―Don’t leave the biggest sale of your life to chance!

Selling a home involves far more than sticking a “For Sale” sign in the yard. The stakes are much higher, since a single mistake can cost you thousands of dollars and months of stress. However, selling a home can actually be an enjoyable (and profitable) experience when you are armed with knowledge of the process.

As a real estate agent and house flipper with twenty years of experience, Mindy Jensen shares countless tips, tricks, and tactics to help you sell your home as painlessly and profitably as possible. Learn to tackle the biggest surprises―from inspection issues to appraisal problems to last-minute mortgage denials―as well as how to prepare your home for listings and showings. This is likely the biggest transaction of your life, so don’t leave it to chance!

Inside, you’ll discover:

Nine questions to ask when interviewing potential real estate agents

How to make the interior and exterior of your home shine on a small budget

Vital clauses needed in your listing contract (don’t let an agent take advantage of you!)

The truth about pricing your home to sell fast―and for more than the asking price

How to handle showings when you have kids, pets, or clutter

What to do when your house just won’t sell

Powerful negotiating strategies to sell for the highest price without scaring away buyers

Practical ways to fight a low home appraisal

Six ways to ensure your home appraises for the highest amount possible

So much more!
