Untold Secrets–How The Real Estate Market Really Works–Price/Value
By Kerry D. Bodily
January 31, 2007 – UNTOLD SECRETS HOW THE REAL ESTATE MARKET REALLY WORKS
(Gabriel Publications; February 12, 2007; $19.95) is the definitive guide on how
to Price and Value real estate in a competitive market, written by
twenty-five-year veteran Kerry D. Bodily.
In this latest book, Kerry writes candidly as a consumer advocate how the
current appraisal system methods, commonly used by most home sellers and real
estate professionals, are unrealistic for determining the competitive price or
value of real estate in an active market. “In other words,” states Kerry.
“Today’s competition determines today’s value, not yesterday’s sales.” This is
the new paradigm solution presented in this book.
With real-life examples and humorous stories, Kerry exposes the many-layered
parts and parties of real estate transactions. If you’re a home seller, he
advises how to position your property to get the highest price, and if you’re a
buyer, how to get the most value for the price paid. He also teaches consumers
how to get the most out of their real estate professionals, including agents,
home inspectors, mortgage lenders, and others.
Considered a pioneer in his field and devoted to research and education, Kerry
developed a powerful and unique system for competitively pricing and valuing
real estate. Called “XpertCMA Precision Pricing System” (www.XpertCMA.com),
Kerry has won awards for this superior software and system design, including it
being approved by the National Association of REALTORS®. Now, tied in with the
launch of his new book, Kerry has gone one step further and created a simple yet
sophisticated guide to competitive pricing for the general public, called
“XpertCMA Home Edition – No Experience Required.”
Kerry’s accomplishments include being an active real estate broker, Continuing
Education Instructor, Real Estate Board Treasurer, and Multiple Listing Service
Advisor. During his real estate career he attained many designations, such as
Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), Certified Residential Specialist (CRS),
and Graduate REALTOR® Institute (GRI), and personally handled over $100 million
in almost every facet of real estate property sales, including residential,
commercial, land, farm/ranch, recreational, multi-unit apartment, and new
construction.
Kerry and his wife Judy currently reside with their dogs Jack and Molly in White
Salmon, Washington in the Columbia River Gorge.
