From the Author:

Expert advice on selling your house.
If you're like most people, your biggest investment is your house. Sell your house wisely and you not only save yourself loads of time, but you also pocket thousands - if not tens of thousands - of dollars more than you would otherwise. Making a big mistake in the sale of your house, on the other hand, can easily cost you additional weeks - perhaps even months - of work and headache, as well as half a year's worth (or more) of your take-home income.

We're not trying to scare you - quite the contrary. We just want to make it clear that, even though selling your house isn't brain surgery, you can easily make mistakes, especially if you're overconfident or do a poor job selecting people to work with in the transaction.

Oscar Wilde said, "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes." We want to add a corollary to this observation: "Learning from other people's mistakes is infinitely better than learning from your own." Reading House Selling For Dummies will save you money, time, and heartache.

Although you are likely to hire some professionals to help you sell your house, you still need to educate yourself about all aspects of the transaction. Why? * You're the one who ultimately must make the decision about whether or not, and when, to sell your house. No real estate agent, loan broker, or anyone else who has a vested interest in the sale can objectively advise you about whether you should sell your house or when is the best time for you to sell. * You're the one (if you do decide to sell) who must interview and hire competent and affordable people that can help you with the sale. You need to know what all the people you hire do, why they do it, what to expect from them, and what they expect from you.

Real estate is a team sport. In this book, we show you how to put together a winning team and we alert you to key points you ought to consider throughout your sale. Follow our advice, and your house is as good as sold before the For Sale sign even goes up.

We don't care about whether or not you decide to sell your house or how much of the transaction you attempt to handle yourself. It's not that we're insensitive; we simply don't have a vested interest in the sale of your house. What we do care very deeply about is that you make the best possible decisions for your situation. If those decisions mean staying in your current home rather than selling, or if they mean selling through a good local real estate agent, terrific. We wrote this book to help you avoid making mistakes in your selling decisions and to ensure that you sell your house in the best way possible.
