Pages of practical, real-world advice to get your house sold for top dollar―Don’t leave the biggest sale of your life to chance!

Learn to tackle the biggest surprises―from inspection issues to appraisal problems to last-minute mortgage denials―as well as how to prepare your home for listings and showings. This is likely the biggest transaction of your life, so don’t leave it to chance! Inside, you’ll discover: <li>Nine questions to ask when interviewing potential real estate agents</li> <li>How to make the interior and exterior of your home shine on a small budget</li> <li>Vital clauses needed in your listing contract (don’t let an agent take advantage of you!)</li> <li>The truth about pricing your home to sell fast―and for more than the asking price</li> <li>How to handle showings when you have kids, pets, or clutter</li> <li>What to do when your house just won’t sell</li> <li>Powerful negotiating strategies to sell for the highest price without scaring away buyers</li> <li>Practical ways to fight a low home appraisal</li> <li>Six ways to ensure your home appraises for the highest amount possible</li> <li>So much more!</li>
