About this ebook
Marcus and Dana Henderson bought their first home seven years ago. Now a new job across the state means it's time to sell — and they have no idea what they're doing. An agent tells them one price, a website says another, their neighbor swears they left $40,000 on the table. Every decision feels like it costs thousands of dollars, and most of them do. This book is the machinery they needed. Home Selling Made Simple makes the real craft of selling your home simple for everyday people: the should-you-sell math (equity, the real 8–10% selling costs, sell-first vs. buy-first, the keep-it-as-a-rental third option), agent vs. DIY honestly (commission math, what agents actually earn and do, flat-fee MLS, iBuyers' real cost), hiring the right agent (the three-interview rule, the highest-quote trap, the listing agreement), the pricing science (comps decoded, assessed vs. appraised vs. market value, search-bracket pricing, price-reduction strategy), repairs that pay (the 10-hour declutter, curb appeal, what fixes pay back and what doesn't, pre-listing inspections), listing and marketing (photos that sell, fair-housing copy, the 14-day golden window), offers decoded (contingencies, earnest money, escalation clauses, the multi-offer matrix), negotiation (the inspection gauntlet, appraisal gaps, repair amendments in writing), disclosures and the paper trail (material defects, title, escrow, HOA docs), closing day (the settlement statement line by line, seller closing costs, wire-fraud protection), after the sale (the 2-of-5-years capital-gains exclusion, cost basis, what to do with the proceeds), and the special cases (divorce, inherited property, upside-down homes and short sales). Every chapter ends with one actionable step and follows the Hendersons' running story from listing to closing, with a one-page home-sale net-proceeds calculator in the appendix. Written from a Christian worldview — honest scales (Proverbs 11:1), integrity in disclosure, peace in transitions (Proverbs 16:9), contentment, the buyer as neighbor — but practical for any reader. No fake statistics, no "sell it yourself and save thousands" hype. Just the real mechanics, made simple. (General education; not legal or tax advice.) Your home is not worth what you need it to be worth. Price it right. Stage it well. Sell it once.
