Books For
Sellers
You’ll refer often to these
short (most are under 200 pages) and inexpensive (as
little as $9.95) volumes. If you can’t find them at your local bookstore
and don’t want to special-order them, check your
public library’s shelves at 333.33 or HD1363-95,
depending on the classification system being used.
You may also run across the odd video, such as
Preparing Your Home To Sell, put out by
Better Homes and Gardens.

Webb, Martha and Zackheim, Sarah
Dress Your House For Success
New York: Three Rivers Press, 1997 |
Highly recommended. Webb

them stand out from the competition and allowing
purchasers to establish the sort of visceral
connection to them that leads to quick sales for top
dollar. Index. |
