Summary: Great book for the by owner seller
Comment: This book is the only one like it I have ever seen on the market. The information is well-organized, useful and not intimidating. The author - who publishes a for sale by owner real estate magazine - has direct experience with thousands of private homesellers like me! The best chapters are those that deal with Pricing the house, how to show the house and interact with buyers and how to hammer out the deal so that everyone is happy.
I've read other books by disgruntled real estate agents that want to "get back" at their profession by writing a for sale by owner book...they all stink. They fail to understand that real estate agents ONLY deal with those that fail in selling by owner.
Stay with Supple, his advice is unique and proven. You can see the real life examples of those that have successfully sold from his advice at the web site for his Vermont magazine ...

Summary: Read this book BEFORE you put a FOR SALE sign in your yard.
Comment: "How To Sell Your Own Home" is a teaching book, full of practical examples and expert advice. It's both easy to read and comprehensive, the result of the author's extensive experience in the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) business.
The book serves as your coach and advisor, taking you step by step, from your initial decision to sell your own property, through the closing. Not only can you save the commission you won't have to pay a real estate agent, this book can help you get more for your home and get a better value from your marketing efforts.
Can you tell I liked it? I read it twice, cover to cover, and highlighted about a third of it. I bet the lessons it taught me saved me 100 times the cover price.
If you are thinking about selling your own home or you are already in the process, buy this book, read it, and heed the author's advice!

Summary: Be aware of the pitfalls
Comment: This book is readable and nicely planned out, but it may oversimplify selling by owner. It reads like a Tony Robbins/Up With People/Judy Garland-Mickey Rooney let's-put-on-a-show MGM musical. I wanted an MLS listing to help with advertising but the flat fee listers don't do it in every state. This book makes it sound like there are many advertising avenues available to FSBO listings (without being very specific), but I couldn't find any in my state, and the Internet listings aren't much good in areas where many people don't have computers. (Yes, there are such places even in 2004.) Plus, the FSBO sites I found were connected with flat fee listers, so prospective buyers aren't necessarily going to find them. I had to give up and list with a realtor. If you want the book for general information and/or you live in a state with a hot real estate market, it isn't bad, but don't expect selling to be as easy as the book makes it sound.
