I was introduced to the book from the FSBO site, SearchHomesOnTV.com Wow.. I was really surprised to learn how easy it is to manage a for sale by owner transaction. Piper does a great job of outlining the process and goes into detail yet not too technical. She demonstrates with sample forms and outlines the process. If you are considering selling your home on your own.. its worth the cover price..

Better than FSBO Kit (Irwin)

I bought this book and the FSBO Kit book by Irwin, and this one is far superior! This book is concise and packs more useful information, especially once you've found a buyer. The other has much less on negotiating, writing contracts, the steps leading to closing, who pays for what, estimates for repairs post-inspection, and tips for packing. I'd describe the Irwin book as more of a pep-talk, but it did give me the confidence to do it myself.

Best Book

I went to the library and got several books on FSBO and this one was the best. Several books I had from the library were not true FBSO books for they only had one chapter talking about it. This handbook was not like that. With it recieved my full asking price and was able to understand confusing jardon and rules in selling the house. Most importantly, I felt secure at every step of the selling process that i was not getting ripped off and everything was fair.
