This has been making the rounds across the Web right now – it's a simple reminder of what sellers (and their agents) should be paying attention to.  It doesn't matter if it's a home in Blacksburg, or Christiansburg, or Radford … all of these things make a difference.  The short list? 

1. De-clutter
2. De-pet
3. Leave during showings
4. Your first offer is often your best offer
5. Lowball offers are simply starting points – they're not insults
6. Update, clean and paint
7. Curb appeal matter
8. De-personalize
9. Lighten up the house
10. Fix broken stuff

And Jim Duncan adds #11 – "Price to the market; what you owe does not matter to the buyers or the market."
