With or without hiring a real estate agent, selling a home requires planning ahead and making important decisions. This book starts by guiding sellers through the early steps, such as conducting pre-inspections, making repairs, remodeling or decorating, actually hiring an agent, setting a realistic but attractive price, holding open houses, and so on. Then, as purchase offers come in, it helps sellers understand how to choose the strongest one from the most financially stable buyer, negotiate with buyers over issues like inspections, repairs, and the home appraisal, and onward through the closing date. Readers will appreciate how this easy-to read, concise book takes them through the whole process, with helpful examples from actual home sellers and industry insiders such as real estate agents, attorneys, and home stagers.

Tales of Graceful Aging from the Planet Denial
By Hollander, Nicole
One of America’s funniest women asks, “If sixty is the new fifty, when do I get to be thirty again?”Nicole Hollander grew up in the nineteen-fifties, when women of a certain age put on weight, got a really tight perm, and rode the backs of their house slippers into the ground. Oh, for those uncomplicated good old days. Today, your fifties and sixties are deemed your most creative years—you can’t lie around like a slug unless you suddenly want to be seventy with nothing to show for it. Luckily, in Tales of Graceful Aging from the Planet Denial, Nicole, creator of the beloved Sylvia comic strip and one of the pioneers of the genre of humor about women and their cats, guides us through the important decisions that come in one’s mature years: Accept the senior citizen discount or feign indignation? Get plastic surgery or just a really good haircut? Nicole applies her ironic wit to such topics as whether to lobby Harry Winston for a foundation to provide chauffeur-driven cars and diamonds to women over fifty or instead focus on finding a château to buy in France and turning it into the first nail spa in the Loire Valley or perhaps a shelter for French strays.
