One more suggestion on your list - Contact a Stager! We give an honest assessment of the house - and many of us have resources that can help with the "issues" you list above including painters, handymen, etc. and get discounts on materials and supplies (I get 30-60% off Sherwin Williams) - that we pass along to clients.
You can also add to your turn-off list - CLUTTER and visually unappealing items in the house.
For smells - we recommend PureAyre - it is a safe and effective way to treat odors of all kinds. Not a mask - it is an odor eliminator - and plant based enzymes in a environmentally friendly formula make it a plus. Available at www.PureAyre.com or through the www.StagingShoppingCenter.com
