As a Realtor, it always surprises me, when Sellers haven't
maintained their property in good condition and then expect a
Buyer to pay top dollar for it. Unless the property is
exceptionally unique in amenities, location or is priced less to
reflect its condition, Buyers will expect to negotiate repairs
and replacements.
It really doesn't take a lot of knowledge or work to keep your
property in good condition and prevent "deferred" mainten-
ance issues. Here are some tips from American Home Shield,
provider of Home Warranty Policies at point of sale for both
Buyers and Sellers.
How often do you think of the maintenance required to keep
your home systems and appliances up and running? If you're
like most homeowners, probably not often enough.

tips for each of your homes' major systems and appliances.
Each Item listed also has a link you can click for more
