This book is the voice of objective common sense needed to help you get your house fit for the market.
What I really love about Martha Webb is her warm and friendly guidance, and she illustrates from her own experiences both as a buyer and a seller. This isn't a cold "out to get the buyer no matter what" book. (which is why I am also going to buy her new book, for buyers!) Instead it shows buyers to be intelligent, discerning, savaay - and therefore worthy of your greatest effort to persuade and convince, by letting your house speak for itself, at its very very best.
Martha Webb outlines her 5 steps: (1) Uncluttering (2) Cleaning (3) Repairing (4) Neutralizing (5) Dynamyzing. Step by step she takes you through, and even gives estimate costs. I found the Dynamising section the most fun - you are encouraged to use your imagination and style. Its a real thrill to approach home selling at such a professional yet possible way.
Better than hiring the house cleaners - you'd probably get your money's worth by buying this book.
