Make sure to fix any leaking or dripping faucets, remove any mineral build up and repair any running toilets.  It's the details which make a difference and can affect a buyer's impression as to how well maintained the home is and consequently, the price you can get for it.  

Getting ready to sell your home?  Make sure ALL light bulbs are working throughout your home.  Burnt out or missing light bulbs can have a really negative affect on a buyers opinion.  You want them to see your home in the best light possible!
