1.	Get estimates from a reliable repairperson on items that need to be replaced soon, such as a roof or worn carpeting, for example. In this way, buyers will have a better sense of how much these needed repairs will affect their costs.
2.	Clean your house top-to-bottom to make every corner shine. You may need to paint or make minor repairs to have your house ready to show.
3.	Get a pre-sale home inspection so you'll be able to make repairs before buyers become concerned and cancel a contract.
4.	Gather together warranties and guarantees on the furnace, appliances, and other items that will remain with the house.
5.	Fill out a disclosure form for the buyers peace of mind. Take the time to be sure that you don't forget problems, however minor, that might create liability for you after the sale.
