This outstanding book sold our house to the first buyer

This author knows what makes someone buy a house. Every page has one or more great ideas about how to make your home more appealing. We thought of our house as a little odd, not quite as good as others. With his tips it became so attractive to buyers that the first one bought it and the next three moaned sorrowfully when they found it had already sold. One of the author's tips is that people don't buy rooms and appliances, they buy something that rings a deep emotional bell. He talks about how to find that bell for your house, and how to ring it for the prospective buyer. We loved our house because we set it up for quality time with our kids. We decided to ring that bell. We took out a ratty breakfast bar from the kitchen and replaced it with an old oak table and chairs. The house had an add-on bedroom you could only get to through another bedroom. We changed the middle room into a library with bookshelves filled with childrens books. Instead of tearing down the treehouse we spruced it up. We put wooden toys on the workbench in the shed. Everything said, "quality time with the kids." It worked. This is just one of the great tips. There are so many more we couldn't begin to use them all.
