When buying each house, we got home inspections done, and we got credits at closing for some necessary repairs.
If you are preparing a home for showing:
- Be sure all major repairs are done
- Be sure to declutter your house, and remove all personal effects like photos; make it look like a model, not a lived-in home
- Keep your driveway and front walk clear of snow (winter is coming)
- Don't be there when your house is shown
speaking of winter...how energy efficent is the house?
Insulation can go a looooong way to keeping electricity and heating bills down.
nothing worse than living in a house where central air and heating is out the roof because nothing is on the roof....hehe

I have a couple coming in from California to see my house. It was built in 1990, so it's not that old but I have:
- put on a new roof (thanks, tornado!)
-installed new carpeting upstairs
-replaced pink (PINK) kitchen countertops
-painted everything that doesn't move
-replaced all faucets - they were dated.
-decluttered - everything is in the barn.
and of course, most importantly - buried St. Joseph under the For Sale sign. Hey, you never know . . .

Yep, did that (bury St. Joseph), and within a month, sold the house. It had been on the market nearly a year before that.
