"Pictures speak a thousand words!"
Great pictures and the suggestions are truly helpful. I don't know how they get the furniture they use for so cheap but the ideas they use are great. If you are interested in Staging your home to sell it faster, this is one book I do recommend.

"Not Practical"
If you have the luxury of stagging your home for resale as they do on the show, this book may help expedite the sell of your home.

I am not convinced that stagging equals the immediate sale of your home. If it were that easy, there would not be such a heavy inventory of homes for resale.

The book does have some nice decorating ideas, just don't count on them to sell your home.



"Change "other views" "
Before I bought the book, I read the reviews, but what really got me interested was the "other views" or pages from the book below the book title, you know the ones that you look at to get a better idea what's in the book. Well it shows a page with "glazed cabinets" but there is no such page in the actual book. I was really disappointed just because I expected it to be there if it was right below the book.

"Not for a beginner"
Not enough detail info or "example" pictures to please me. When one is just "breaking in" to designing more before/after pics would help.

"great pictures, good advice"
The Designed to Sell book offers the same frank commentary, sage advice, and money-saving tips as the TV show. Many large full-color photos are a special treat and a great resource for both fans of the show and homeowners looking to stage their property for sale.

The book could have been strengthened by a conclusion (noticeably absent) and also more before-and-after pictures; sometimes only the "after" was shown.

What our customer's say!

"Superb delivery", Excellent condition, exceptional delivery time. I was purchasing last-minute gifts for my daughter with an interest in staging. This was a good price.s

"Design to Sell", This is a fun book to read, full of lots of before and after pictures, but I wish there were more; more pictures, more projects, more. The book is organized by room, which is really nice, and for homes that are featured in multiple sections, the writer references the pages where you can find the other rooms. The descriptions are detailed and a budget breadown is included. It's a great resource and fun book (as stated), but I'm looking forward to a new release.

"Fantastic!", I love this book! The show is great, and the book is very informative for anyone even thinking about selling their home in the future.

"Great show, great book.", If you are a fan of this show, you will lve this book. We decided to take our house off the market, but when it was on, we got TONS of compliments on the look of our home, from buyers and agents. This is a good design book, even if you don't plan to move!

"designed to sell", This was not the book I was expecting. It's just a rehash of the TV show. I should have done more research.

"If you've seen the show....", You don't need to read the book. There wasn't anything new or insightful to be garnered from reading the book. I was hoping for some more in depth tips that the show doesn't have time to cover.

"Always keep eyes open and mind questioning", The book, like the show, is invaluable whether you will actually sell your house or not. More than one "seller" has changed from seller to keeper or rental owner because of how well the renovation turned out, and that is okay, too. The principal idea is to take a long, hard look at your dear little abode and see it more as others may see it. Clutter abounds, dirt has made itself at home in hard to reach places, repairs have been put off, etcetera! This book, like the program, will help you to sort out these problems, but many of the costs are not realistic: they hide some subterfuge.
Just for starters, I have never seen a cost entered for labor. Where the program is concerned, we know, or should know, that all labor is provided by the crew, who are on contract to the show. Furthermore, the work for the show is always completed on time and professionally well done. In real life, however, we have the problem of finding qualified, honest and trustworthy contractors/workmen who will charge us fairly for a job done well. None of this is dealt with in the program or in the book. Perhaps that part is "another story?"
If anyone goes into a remodeling/renovation project with only $2000 to spend, they had better have some talented and willing family or friends as well as being able to do some/most of the work themselves. As for the "new" furniture, it would be more helpful if the sources were mentioned. It is quite acceptable to purchase furniture from outlets and "used" stores at serious savings. However, these sources are not always available everywhere, and that, in all fairness, should be pointed out. This is my only criticism of the show and the book. The ideas are there and the needed jobs layed out, but the money is not realistic. Still, the book is worth the time to read it and the money to buy it - used.

"Designed to Sell: Make any home the hottest property on the block with expert advice from the popular HGTV series", I loved this book, it has so many great ideas for improving your home, beautiful pictures and lots of great advice.

"Lots of pretty pictures. Not much advice.", If you're a fan of the show, you'll probably love this book. It has lots of large colorful pictures and nice bios of the stars. (Did you know Shannon Freeman is Donna Freeman's daughter? I didn't.)
The Pros:
* Lots of pretty pictures.
* A quick read.
* Bios of the Designed to Sell Team
* Lots of pretty pictures.
The Cons:
* Not much in the way of ideas of techniques.
* Too many pretty pictures.
The bulk of this book is a recap of various shows they've done. Unless your house is similar to one of their shows, you won't find much.

Personally, I found "Buying for Profit" from the folks at Property Ladder to be chock full of useful ideas for updating your home and preparing a property for sale.

"Exceeded my expectations!!!", I've been a little bit disappointed with other books on staging and/or designing so I was hesitant on buying this one but I'm sure glad I got it. This book is excellent. It is simple enough for those who know nothing about selling homes or staging them, and at the same time it is also informative and creative enough for even those who may already work in this field. It doesn't bore with too much theory and history but it gives enough background to understand the reason for the steps that they are recommending. It guides through the process of staging in a logical order, it has great pictures and tips, and it's just a fun book to read, especially if you watch (or have watched) the show. Just great! Needless to say, I definitely recommend it!!!
