Publisher's Synopsis
Few transactions are as complex as real estate. Every situation, is different, and most of us don't do it often enough to get good at it. Without expert advice, For Sale By Owner (FSBO) can be a quagmire that costs you thousands of dollars and even generates expensive lawsuits. The real estate industry has been stuck in a 19th-century business model that offers one choice: work with a commission-based broker. But that model just doesn't work when you're trying to make decisions like: - Should I remodel-or buy something different? - Will I recoup the cost of this improvement when I sell? - How will that new highway, factory, or school affect my property value? - How much extra should I pay for a Green home? In this groundbreaking new model, Mollie Wasserman finally brings real estate into the 21st century. At last, you can get the expert advice and counsel you need, from qualified, certified Accredited Consultants in Real Estate (ACRE) -whether or not you actually sell or buy a property.
