From

Barry and Annie Freeling
"I am writing to
tell you that the suggestions you gave in your Home Improvement
eBook were worth the cost of the entire toolkit.
My husband and I wanted
to move but couldn't afford the kind of house we wanted. After
reading through your toolkit and putting your advice into action,
we were motivated to create the house of our dreams... And we
are! Inside and out, your toolkit made it so simple!
Thank you so much for
the clear writing and easy-to-follow suggestions.

to a personal message from Barry and Annie.
Dear Homeowner,
Ever wonder why certain
houses look and feel like Martha Stewart, Bob Villa, and the whole
cast of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy are on full time
staff, when you know darn well that the owners are living on a
modest income?
You are about to discover
the secrets of professional contractors, decorators, landscapers,
painters, electricians, plumbers, installers, and retailers. These
are secrets they don't want you to know for a very simple reason
-- their livelyhood depends on your ignorance in these areas.

A Slow Market, Do Not Underestimate
The Value Of Knowing How To Make A Property
Literally Outshine The Competition.
"My house
had been on the market for 2 months without a single offer.
While surfing the internet I came across the website for
The Handy Homeowner and bought the toolkit.
Barry and Annie,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the
wealth of information you packed into those books. I read
them over the next two days (what fun and entertaining
writers you two are!) and applied about 10 of the suggestions
you made.
My realtor held
an open house 2 weeks ago and I received 3 offers the
next day.
Your toolkit made
it simple. Thanks a million!"

The Handy Homeowner
Toolkit is two complete references in one box - and there's
a good reason for that.
-
There Are Only Two Reasons To Improve Your Property -
To Create A More Enjoyable Living Habitat
Or To Get The Most Money From Selling It
This toolkit will
make you successful at either of these goals. And best of all,
you'll have it around for when it's time create or sell again!
The
mistakes sellers make
Over the last 20
years of buying and selling properties in some of California's
most expensive areas, we have rolled our eyes and shaken our
heads (at times to the point of whiplash!) at some of the big
NO-NOs that sellers commit when putting their house on the market.
Basic mistakes, that
make potential buyers quickly think of a way to run and cross
this property off their list of possibilities, are the norm.
In putting this toolkit
together we reviewed notes from as far back as 1993 and noticed
the patterns never change. Just last year we found properties
offered for what we considered well above market value, that
suffered from turn-offs including:
Odors
- Number one on the home selling UH-OH list.
Dogs
with barks and teeth to match - You love them. Buyers don't.
Dirty
Bathrooms - Need we say more?
Dimly
lit rooms - Six tips to correct this yucky-feeling creator.
Busy
and conflicting wall treatments - Your goal is appeal to the
masses, not someone who also loves purple flowered wallpaper.
Damp
basements - Buyer thinks, "leaky foundation". The
reality is very often much less expensive to fix.
Bugs
- Every house has them, but buyers don't want to see yours!
Poor
curb appeal - Getting top dollar for your property starts
before the buyer walks in. Your toolkit will include an entire
book on curb appeal - don't worry!
Rain
gutters aren't planters - Seriously - we've seen plants growing
from gutters. Does any thing yell, "Buy this house because
we don't care about it" louder?
Sellers
who hang around - We had dozens of sellers babble endlessly
about their life, memories, favorite restaurants, and anything
else on their mind. We offer the best solution - Give the buyer
space. Don't hover!
The Handy Homeowner Toolkit will show you how to avoid
these costly and common mistakes - plus dozens more.
Correcting these
problems will set your property apart from the pack, instantly
energizing top real estate professional and buyers - the exact
people you care about when you are trying to sell your property
for top dollar.
This toolkit will
walk you through the steps required to get your property clean
and organized for living, or selling. And just because you are
currently in one of those two camps, you will be in the other
camp at some point - and The Handy Homeowner Toolkit will be
there to help you on that next transition as well.
Each book in this
toolkit offers valuable advise and education that you will use
throughout your life to create maximum comfort and beauty, and
property resale potential. Any one guide will more than pay
for the cost of the entire toolkit.
