Right On! September 6, 2008
I am a real estate agent and have been practicing for 10 years now. If you don't want to listen to the straight and accurate talk in this book.....you and your bank account will regret it. I would agree with 98% of everything they have to say. When they talk....you should listen.

I enjoy watching Donna and Shannon on their program, Secrets That Sell. Their common-sense approach takes the mystery out of marketing a home, and their solid real estate knowledge is laced with just the right amount of humor and encouragement. If you can't have them come and walk through your home, this book is the next best thing. It's packed with helpful information and tips presented in a highly readable format. It's a great addition to a homeowner's reference library.

The Shannons take us breezily through the process of staging homes for sale. Their ironic and witty tone take the dreariness out of the projects. Mainly, they make a a lot of good sense. As a former Realtor, I was shocked to find the sleazy condition in which sellers allow their homes to be shown for sale. I will try the more subtle tips they present when I put my own home up for sale. The only thing I won't do is apply Bar Keeper's Friend to my stainless steel fridge, as it didn't really do the job of giving it a print-free shine. I'll let them know if my house sells, though. If these techniques worked in a hot market, we need it even more now that the market is so slow.
Excellent (and funny) all-purpose guide to selling August 4, 2007

With trademark wit, Donna and Shannon Freeman nail all of the increasingly important steps to staging and selling a home. While the book is easy to read, it's definitely not fluff. The Freemans apply many traditional marketing concepts like segmentation, cost-benefit analysis, and tradeoff exercises (without explicitly presenting them as such) in easy-to-understand, consumer-friendly language.
Although the Freemans strongly advocate using agents, their candor about the pitfalls of bad agents and the changes coming to the real estate industry are refreshing. The book is also thankfully free from the pseudo-fiduciary advice that many real estate agents are all too happy to offer. The Freemans do, however, offer plenty of good tips in the form of interviews with their lawyer, accountant, inspector, and even feng shui expert.
The record number of recent first-time buyers will soon become first-time sellers -- likely in a difficult market. This book is a must-have for first-time sellers, a great refresher course for experienced sellers, and a good read for buyers looking to capitalize on the mistakes of those who haven't read this book.

I watch your show as often as I can when I am not gardening. I think your show is great! You even saved my uncle $30.000. He was going to put a new roof on his house before putting it up for sale. I told him that you The Real Estate Expert on TV said not to do it. And he didnt and he is very happy now. Keep up the good work!
Chris
P.S. I Love your book.
