Reviews:
Yikes! There's no practical way one can take what one "learns" in this book and then immediately sell thei home FSBO. One needs much more info on closing, home inspection, and many other topics which this book hardly touches. Furthermore, the formatting of the book, which highlights the opinions of "experts," is often contradictory without any insight into or explanation of the contrary opinions. Rather, mutually exclusive opinions (and facts!) are presented side-by-side.
