Since busy home owners seek maintenance-free living, do a preemptive strike and hire a home inspector BEFORE you place your home on the market. Fix problems before you list the home and then display receipts and wait for buyers to offer kudos to sellers for being so responsible.
Professional home inspectors will provide you with a clear understanding of your home's condition, including recommendations for property enhancements. You can then decide which improvements you'd like to make before listing your home or adjust the sale price to reflect the estimated cost of any repairs. Either way, a home inspection gives you, potential buyers and real estate agents greater confidence in the condition of the property.

This is a very good idea Teresa. I think the average seller doesn't want the up-front expense but doesn't realize that it could be money very well spent as the offers on "fix-ups" tend to be significantly lower.
