Book Cover How to Sell Your Home in 5 Days
By William Effros
Author Bill Effros sold his own home in 5 days -- for more than the broker had been asking -- and then wrote our favorite "Fizzbo" (for sale by owner) book. He takes you step-by-step through the process, so you, too, can get the best price and save a bundle on broker commissions. He tells you how to price your house, write an inexpensive ad to draw dozens of serious buyers, run an open house, and conduct round robin bidding. His system works for other big-ticket items as well.
