Editorial Reviews: 1001 Tips for Buying & Selling a Home is an invaluable reference for anyone looking for the ins and outs of buying or selling a home.

Nash offers recipes for smooth selling of your home, negotiating tactics, and reality-based advice to guide you to a successful closing. Also included is a handy, helpful glossary with definitions of real estate terms and a Resource Appendix that points you to additional information via websites, organizations, and government bodies.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The first real estate book you should read Comment: The author, Mark Nash recently wrote an article about Man Caves - personal dedicated space for a guy in his home. The article said Mr. Nash surveyed 900 real estate agents about housing trends. I figure anyone who does that kind of research knows how to buy and sell houses. 1001 Tips has lots of definitions and is easy to skim for tips that apply to you. I like the way Mr. Nash provides clear advice on dealing with real estate agents, especially your rights and what to expect - the tips sound like Mr. Nash is giving up professional secrets. The book's purpose is to answer everyday questions, which he does well and he provides resources to get more detail, if needed. If you only buy one real estate book, this is it. Customer Rating: Summary: 1001 tips for buying & selling a home Comment: This book was disappointing. If you were in a book store you could have flipped through the pages and read over the book. It just gives paragraphs from 1 to 1001 ideas. The book is not that interesting. Customer Rating: Summary: less than expected Comment: The book had some good tips, but I feel like there was a lot of advice that I was looking for that I didn't get--like pros and cons of selling by owner vs. with an agent and searching on your own vs. getting a buyer agent--just as an example. If I had been able to preview it before I bought it, I wouldn't have bought it. Customer Rating: Summary: Diving into the real estate market - Buy this book Comment: I had a house. I had been through the buying process once already - did I really need this book? Yes, yes, definitely yes. This book highlighted 1) everything I had forgotten about the process of buying a home, 2) everything I didn't know the first time about buying a home, and 3) everything I needed to know about selling my most valuable asset. I was flabbergasted by the amount of information in this book and the excellent way in which it is organized. It guides you through the entire process, but makes it easy to jump to the issue that is most troubling at the moment. It provides information from the basics: Tip #227 - "Take your time. Do not let anyone rush you" to the more complex: Tip #556 Compare the benefits of working with a mortgage broker or mortgage banker". I did not even know there was a difference! This book is a font of information in an easy to read format - I do not know how I survived without it the first time around. I can only chalk it up to luck considering how much I did not know before I read this book. I recommend it to all my friends. Customer Rating: Summary: FANTASTIC! Comment: This book was EXTREMELY helpful to me! Not only does it answer all of the questions I had as well as all of the questions I never even thought to ask, but it does so in a manner that would be easily understood by every type of buyer or seller; first-time or experienced buyers and sellers can all benefit from Mark's wisdom!
