I was very enthusiastic about this book when I got it. In retrospect, it did teach me a lot about the sales process. But in the end, it didn't really make the process any easier for me which was the whole point of reading it for me.

Caveat: I only read the chapters that applied to me at this point. I liked the "tips and traps" format, and the advice sounded pretty solid. I do think the idea of getting one's house ready to sell in 14 days is pretty optimistic, but maybe for someone more experienced than I it's not.
