Overview

Save thousands of dollars -- sell your home yourself!
Using a broker to sell your home can cost you up to six percent of the selling price -- in other words, if you sell your house for $400,000, you can lose up to $24,000. But you'll save that money if you sell the house yourself, and it's not hard to do!
Thoroughly revised and scrupulously researched, For Sale by Owner in California takes you step by step through the entire selling process, from putting the house on the market to transferring the title. Even if you choose to use an agent, this book is a great way to prepare yourself for the home-selling process.
Find out how to:
pick the best time to sell
prepare your house for sale
advertise widely and inexpensively
sell while you're buying another house
set the sale price
screen buyers for financial feasibility
make all disclosures required by law
negotiate with potential buyers
handle multiple offers
remove contingencies
complete the escrow process
The 9th edition of For Sale by Owner in California reflects the most recent changes in the housing market and laws, and now includes beefed-up sections on disclosure obligations, making a house look good and using the Internet to advertise a sale. It also provides all the forms you need, including:
disclosure forms
offer and counteroffer
sales contract
contingency releases
deeds
second mortgage note
and more
All forms come with complete instructions for filling them out.
A note to those outside California: Even though For Sale By Owner in California provides state-specific forms and information for Californians, there's plenty of material in the book that can help home sellers in the other 49 states as well. Don't sell your home without it!
