"I personally sold the house after seven weeks on the market at my listing price and received a full CASH contract last Sunday. I close the first of next week.  And I have a backup offer for full price...(new mortgage).  No commissions...no agents involved and I did NOT wine and dine them.  I appreciate the valuable info I learned from you and your book.  Thanks again!" J. Ball, Wichita, KS (see additional comments below after first reading Sell It By Owner and Save)

 

"I read your book and followed your advice very closely. I got 3 offers in the first 3 days of putting my home on the market. I accepted an offer that gave me my listing price AND met all other conditions. Your book really helped us deal with loopholes like being initially offered a very small amount of earnest money, checking the qualifications of the buyers, etc. My friends and neighbors are amazed, and we have recommended your book to all of them.  Thank you. "  Mudita Rastogi, Arlington Heights, IL

"We sold our home by owner in a very slow real estate market this summer with the help and advice found in this book. Five other homes in our neighborhood were listed with agents during the same time, and ours is the only home that has sold to date! We negotiated the sale and closed within 30 days of the offer. We highly recommend this book to current and prospective FSBOs." A.R.K. Indianapolis, IN (Amazon customer)

So, thank you sooo much for the info...and if you hadn't offered it as an e-book..I would have never received it in time in the mail.

         Thanks a bunch...you helped me save approx. $10,000!!!! "

"I bought and read your book, printed out the sales contract, listed my house at VegasSalebyOwner.com (which has a link to your website), rented a sign from them as well, placed ads in newspapers, and have had 16-20 calls.  We accepted an offer yesterday.  This is after having it "FSBO" for less than two weeks!  Contrary to what agents tell you, buyers ARE contacting owners directly.  With our house listed for six months with an agency, we had offers fall apart in escrow. I think your book, a FSBO website, and houses priced correctly without commission inflation, will revolutionize the real estate business.  We have more control and can weed out prospects better than our agent did."   Erin Rohrer, Las Vegas, NV

"Thank you so much for the much needed forms!  I have finished reading your book and it was EXCELLENT!  I am very grateful I had the opportunity to even hear about it as I really had no idea what I was getting myself into and could have easily "thrown in the towel".  Thanks again."  Karen Payson (amazon.com customer)

Excellent reference book! (from amazon.com)
Reviewer: cindyintexas (see more about me) from Frisco, TX USA "I was clueless about how to proceed in selling my home myself, but your book has provided me with all of the information I need. It is an honest assessment of how to sell your own home and is easy to read in an organized format, which will make it easy for future reference."

Top Marks for an Excellent, well Researched book., 
A reader from San Francisco (from amazon.com) 
        "Seldom does one find in self-help books the kind of frank, insightful advice that one does in Michael Kloian's book.
        Not only did I find the information accurate and reliable but also totally consistent with my experiences in real estate for over 20 years. But it is also an entertaining book, one written with a sense of humor and compassion by someone who has a genuine concern for the average homeowner with little experience.
        It is written without pretense and in a style that is eminently readable. I found particularly insightful and revealing many of the inside tips that only someone with the author's long experience in working with both buyers and sellers could possibly know, and yet be willing to share.
        A cursory glance at the table of contents alone will illustrate to anyone the depth and breath of the author's sweep of all the salient issues attendant to the task of selling or in fact even buying a home.
        I found nothing overlooked and must even say that the frank discussion of unforeseen problems was both important and necessary for the unwary homeowner to read.
        His advice on when and how to engage professionals in the process will save homeowners a great deal of money while at the same time provide them with the requisite tools to act responsibly and professionally in all their transactions.
        It is a pungent and strikingly honest book and one that deserves high praise.
        I heartily recommend the book to anyone interested in either buying or selling their own home. It was a pleasure to read and confirmed all that I myself have learned in my many years in the business."  A reader in San Francisco.

"We read your book; had a professional sign made; created our own "fact" sheet; put the sign out on a Saturday afternoon and SOLD the house the next day to a pre qualified buyer with a cash deposit using your forms. We paid no commissions and netted a profit greater than we had anticipated. Thanks for your book."   Andy Stumpf , Aurora, CO

"I did everything you recommended, from getting an appraisal to getting a professional sign.  I got my acceptable offer in three weeks.  I sold my home for $134,000. The appraisal was $135,000. We are building a new home. The profit I made enabled me to put down 20% and avoid PMI (private mortgage insurance).  I would have been out $8,040 dollars had I used a real estate agent.  Your book along with How to Save $1000s on Your Mortgage can really arm consumers to take care of the two biggest financial transaction they will ever have: selling a home and getting a loan for a new one. Once again, I can't say enough how pleased I am with your book and your website."  Paul Schultz, Peachtree City, GA

Thank you Michael for sharing 27 years of real estate experience and knowledge with us homeowners. I really didn’t want to list my home and pay the proposed $15,500 in commission fees. We lowered the price of our home $5,000 and sold it in two weeks and still saved ten grand. Your book is fantastic.  Sheela and Bob M., Las Vegas, NV

What to do, what you need to know and how to accomplish the whole thing can be rather overwhelming. Real estate can be intimidating. You managed to break it all down in an easy to understand format.  You build confidence and offer hope for those of us who know little or nothing about selling our own home.  I enjoyed your book. Thanks! Janet R. Laguna Hills, CA

I have a home worth $600,000. This equates to $36,000 in commission and 22% of my equity. No way will I pay that amount to sell my home. Your book is a bargain and your information is priceless. Fred B., Plymouth, MA   

All I can say is Sell It By Owner & Save is truly a no hype book loaded with information and style. You definitely know what you are talking about. Carolyn T. Baton Rouge, LA    CEO

I  read your book and it has been very helpful. You are to be commended for not allowing all of your "passion" for certain points in the book to be edited out (i.e. the list of things a potential buyer would not understand while he/she tours your home). Thanks, Aaron A. -  Wyoming, MI
