She recommends reviewing these steps before diving into the process of learning what to expect and seeing how the different pieces fit together.

Author Comments: This was a fun book to write, as it involved talking to a people with multiple perspectives on the process of selling a home―real estate agents, stagers, inspectors, attorneys, and so on. Each brought a depth of knowledge that can only be gained through years of experience. They have seen not only how home-sale transactions go right, but how they can quickly go awry―and how to get them back on track.
