Description: There's more to selling a house than sticking a For Sale sign in the window or yard. Those wanting to avoid pitfalls and achieve the greatest return on their investment will welcome the seasoned advice from real estate gurus Edith Lank and Dena Amoruso. From initial thoughts of putting a house on the market to successfully closing the deal and coping with the tax consequences, The Homeseller's Kit gives the savvy seller a clear, easy-to-use, yet comprehensive roadmap.

It includes practical insights to make the most of the growing opportunities presented by technology and Internet access in the selling process, and discusses the pros and cons of selling on your own versus engaging the services of an agent. Although using the new technologies would make it appear easy to sell your house yourself, Lank and Amoruso clarify what is really demanded of the would-be seller. For those who decide to hire a broker, the book provides valueable advice to aid in the selection process, and includes new information on using a limited-services type of broker so the homeseller can do part of the work on his or her own. Would-be homesellers will be able to:
-- Determine maximum-value, minimum-cost fix-ups.
-- Prepare the house to show to prospective buyers.
-- Use Internet resources to price competitively.
-- Negotiate the sales contract wisely.
-- Deal with the liability of hazardous situations (lead paint, radon, asbestos).
-- Close the deal without a hitch.
-- Plan an efficient move-out.
