Customer Reviews

Basic book

This is a good basic book on selling your house. It seems to cover all the essential points to consider.

Good advice, but outdated on taxes

This book provides well-written and well-presented advice on home selling. You can read chapters in detail, or just skim for the "tips" and "traps" notes. Irwin is agnostic about FSBO vs. real estate agents --- he provides advice for both situations, and guidance on how to decide which way to go.Be wary, however, of following the tax advice in this book. It was written in 1990, and tax laws have changed considerably since then. Find another source for real estate tax advice.
