Review by Nanci Dru for Ready, Set, Sold!: The Insider Secrets to Sell Your House Fast–for Top Dollar! Rating:
Even though we recently had a Realtor walk through the house and make suggestions on minor improvements, I bought this book in case there were some things she didn’t mention. The book is easy to read and nicely organized. It explains how to target your house to the buyers it will likely attract and how to how to look at your house from a buyer’s perspective. It also includes a brief section on the selling process.
The book explains that a seller should make minor structural and cosmetic repairs, which any Realtor will tell you. But it has a handy checklist of all parts of the home to go through. It then delves into how to de-clutter and how to “stage” the house for selling. It also includes a checklist of things to do before anyone sees the house. As someone who has recently looked at several houses on the market to buy, I can attest there really is an emotional hook that some of this staging provides. These truly are inexpensive or free things (such as putting a bowl of fruit out, playing soothing music, etc.) that can subliminally attract a buyer. The suggestions are tailored to people with all budgets for fixing up before selling. It does not suggest major upgrades but suggests things like repairing broken bathroom tile as opposed to retiling the entire bathroom. Some of these things are no-brainers, but it was helpful reinforcement from what the Realtor said.
There is a section on how to market the home and explains estimated costs. It also explains what happens when the house is in escrow and what needs to be done in a short timeline. It explains how to keep the buyers motivated and calm while still getting what the seller needs out of the deal.
One of the best things about this book is that it repeatedly encourages the seller to put things into perspective. Yes, the idea is to sell the house as quickly as possible and make the most profit, but this book shows the pitfalls about haggling over $100 and how it can make prospective buyers walk away from a deal.
This book doesn’t contain any miracle advice and some of the advice is obvious. However, it’s an easy read and an inexpensive book that will probably end up helping sellers make more money at selling time. I would recommend it for anyone who wants to understand the real estate process and maximize profit without spending an inordinate amount of time or money.

Corbett’s “Ready, Set, Sold” is a must have for every potential homeseller. The book is written in clear, easy-to-understand language and is full of the tips which would easily go unnoticed by most sellers. Corbett moves through the sales process from understanding the value of your home, how the sales process should work, making the process work for you, and showing you how to dramatically increase the bottom-line results in a smooth, logical sequence. His insight and own personal experiences help to reduce the stress and uncertainty of a process long-overdue for having some light shed upon upon it. In a difficult market, it only makes sense to draw on as many resources as possible- this is an exceelent choice.

Like his previous real estate book, Find It, Fix It, Flip It!, this book taught me how to work through my entire house step by step to get it ready for sale. Once in escrow, the tips for saving money – saved me thousands. Thank you for this book.
Review by Tom J. Burke for How to Sell a House Fast in a Slow Real Estate Market: A 30-Day Plan for Motivated Sellers Rating:
I was worrying about how difficult it would be to sell my house is such uncertain times when I came across this book. I recognized Ray Cooper’s name because he has a real estate office in a neighboring town. On a lark I purchased the book.
I found a clear, conscise, step by step process of not only selling my house in this difficult market, but getting top dollar and, most importantly, doing it fast. It sometimes goes against conventional wisdom to believe that selling something fast is also selling at top dollar. But this book convinced me that if you market you home right and avail yourself of all the strategies described in this book, you will get your best offer quickest.
The authors have put together a comprehensive bible for selling real estate. All this time I thought my home was my best investment. Maybe it was really this book. It sured paid off quicker!

As a real estate investor who has done dozens of transactions, I know the most important part of the whole thing is being able to sell, and sell quickly. I particularly liked the chapters on open houses and negotiating. This book was a quick but very good read, gave me tons of ideas and I highly recommend it to anyone who needs to sell a house.
A+++ Great job guys…

I will be selling my house soon, so I decided to buy this book. After reading it, I now feel extremely prepared to begin the process. This book is FULL of very educational information from two authors with years of experience in real estate. It’s so helpful for a novice like me. They have managed to condense all of their knowledge into a concise manual that tells the reader exactly what to do to sell quickly in this down market (and if you hire an agent, they tell you how to find the best one!). It includes easy-to-follow, common-sense professional advice, with real-world examples to help illustrate their points. They demonstrate that knowledge is power, and show you how to be in control of your sale. I highly recommend it. If you need to sell your property, buy this book now!

This book hits the market when things are tough in the market for sellers and provides great advice. I am a real estate broker with 22 years experience and I can vouch that the principles in this book work if you apply them. So many sellers (and brokers) got lazy when the market was up and forgot the basic principles of selling a house and this book lays it out in a simple format. The chapter on negotiating is excellent!
