Reviews:
One of the best parts of this book is the section detailing the tactics that agents will use to try to encourage you to list your home with them. The first calls/visits you'll probably receive after putting your home on the market will likely be from agents, and this book does a superb job of preparing you in advance to handle those conversations. The author's point that "presentation is everything" will be key to your success. For example, you may have your house recarpeted and repainted prior to showing the home. You may even rent a storage unit to move some of the "clutter" out of the house prior to showing.
