DO NOT undertake renovations or updates.

Don't even paint, let someone pick their own colors.

Only fix actual damage or defects like a leaking pipe.

You will not make money on repairs.  You will waste time.  Sell it for
less, as-is, you will be better off.  How much of your life do you
want to spend overseeing home imporvement projects for no pay on a
house which is being sold anyway.

Personally, I would get an agent and let them do their job.  Less
trouble for you and fewer gripes about how you didn't sell it right as
a FSBO.

Has anyone on this NG asked you to phone them yet?  Just wondering if
the vultures were descending....
