Very good tips!  And while the seller's are cleaning up, they might as well be replacing burned out light bulbs including kitchen appliances, putting cover plates on electrical outlets, replacing batteries in smoke and CO detectors, removing the lint from the exterior dryer vent, and pulling the hair out of the shower drain.  :)
