By the same authors as Home Buying for Dummies, the new House Selling for Dummies shares all of the companion volume's virtues and likewise qualifies as the overall best choice on its topic. It provides clear and wise counsel on preparing a house for sale, setting the asking price, and negotiating with buyers. House Selling for Dummies discusses the pros and cons of selling a house without a listing agent, but authors Tyson and Brown seem to believe that most "dummies" need the professional help of a Realtor. The book offers extensive and good advice on selecting and working with an agent. --Barry Mitzman

5 out of 5 stars An essential book to your library   October 17, 2007
I am an ardent fan of the authors of this book. I also bought House Buying for Dummies when I bought my house. This book takes you through the nuts and bolts of the House Selling process, without trying to sell you something. This book is very practical, and the authors have a unique ability of explaining how real estate works, without confusing you. I must say, after reading these books I have become an expert on the process, and feel very comfortable talking to RE professionals now without feeling like a "Dummy". Don't make the mistake of missing out on this essential reference.


5 out of 5 stars Very Satisfied   June 30, 2006

This book spends the first 6 chapters discouraging you from selling a home. Which makes sense, since you do lose/spend a lot of money to commissions and taxes when you sell. After that, it has well written, thorough discussions of picking an agent, and things to do to stage your home. I am very glad that I spent the money and time on this book.


3 out of 5 stars Not enough on FSBO   September 12, 2005
  4 out of 4 found this review helpful

I thought the book was informative, however it didn't have enough on selling your house on your own. And some of the material was a bit dated. Overall though, a useful source for the first time home seller.

3 out of 5 stars Not for "FISBO"s.   August 16, 2004
  35 out of 37 found this review helpful

This book discourages "FISBO's" (For Sale By Owner) types in favor of hiring a real estate agent. In fact, only one chapter deals with this. I'd recommend this book to those who plan to hire an agency to sell their home. It will inform them of the various machinations of the sales process. For those looking to sell their own property, I recommend "The For Sale By Owner Kit" by Robert Irwin. It's directed soley at the "FISBO" person.
