Kim Elizabeth, Realtor® - THE FOR SALE BY OWNER GUIDE

looking"—you know, the window shoppers of real estate. Some are just curious. Others are on their third tour just to see if the kitchen “still feels too small.” Spoiler: it does. For them, at least. Meanwhile, many real estate agents approach the process like a game show. Wheel of Fortune: House Edition! The more homes a buyer sees, the better the chance they’ll buy something , right? Maybe. But when the buyer has no real idea what they want—and the agent’s just printing out every three-bedroom that wasn’t on fire this week—everyone’s time gets wasted. Buyers often tour 20 to 50 houses before making a decision. If each showing burns 3–4 hours of the seller’s life, that adds up to 90–120 hours of collective suffering. That’s enough time to learn a language. Or binge an entire season of something not about home renovation. But here’s the plot twist: what if you only had to show your home to serious buyers? Like, people who actually want your house. Wild idea, right? Imagine a world where you only prep your home when it really counts.

Where your kids don’t resent the real estate market.

Where your dog doesn’t panic every time you grab the vacuum.

This book is here to help you make that world a reality. Before we dive into filtering the looky-loos from the legit buyers, we need to start with something critical: figuring out what your home is actually worth in today’s market. Because if you're going to put in 80+ hours of sweat, stress, and Swiffering, you might as well price it right.
