For homes that have evaporative coolers in addition to AC, regular maintenance on this system is equally important. Now is the time to replace or clean those pads, and check the water pump. Here is a tip to keep you from burning up your pump motor (speaking, sadly, from experience!). Before turning on your pump, unplug it, and make sure you can spin the shaft freely without obstruction. If it spins, you're good to go. If it does not, you may have calcium build-up, which will need to be cleaned off.
If it's a holiday season, by all means decorate the home! Just like sugar cookies or vanilla scent on the inside of the house, this really says "it's a home" and I can see myself enjoying life here! In the least, always have some greenery or flowers for the season on the front step or porch; even a birdbath with a little garden around it says home.
Make your Realtor pick you up and drive you around to view the homes of your choice, and even make your Realtor buy you lunch. The Realtor that is buying your lunch is probably going to write that lunch off on their taxes any way. Now you are getting free food, and not spending money on gas.
Negotiating is hard in all areas, but let him "win" the concessions he wants from you, and downplay what you have won. You'll both be happier in the end.

The following tips will help you sell your own home quickly. Additionally, learn how to prepare your home for the marketplace and maximize your profits.
You'll find filters that are to be changed monthly or every three months. Whichever you purchase, be diligent about replacement. To help you remember when to do so, calendar it on your computer or cell phone, or write the date of installation on the outside of the cardboard frame. When you check it, you'll know when you last changed it.
How much time do you have after closing on your new home to buy a home warranty? Many home warranty companies will not sell you a home warranty outside of escrow, whether you're a buyer or a seller.
Don't be afraid to start low (but make sure your agent does the research first !) After 45+ DOM (days on market) banks are ready (and willing) to MAKE A DEAL. I recently had a listing that was priced very well (we had 3 offers in 11 days). The bank accepted an offer that was over the list price, however after about 2 1/2 weeks the buyer decided to switch lenders. As a result he was unable to secure a loan within the timeframe allowed so the bank canceled the contract and put the property back on the market. This occurred during a week that had a holiday and we received little action.
