So much of the home buying process is visual.
From the time the buyer arrives to the time they leave' your house is speaking to them. It doesn't matter what language the buyer speaks, that visual conversation takes place. That is why it is so important to present your home in the best possible condition. 
Your Curb Appeal should say 'my owners are house proud and I am well maintained.'
This message should be carried throughout the house by the flooring, paint, lighting and plumbing fixtures.
Buyers want value for their money and will choose the home that shows it. Sellers must compete for the buyer's offer. Let's face it they will be looking at many other homes in the same price range and general location.
They will gravitate to the home with fresh paint in current colors, updated lighting, flooring in good condition and kitchen and bathrooms that don't need big investments.
If you don't have the budget to do updates, show them an older but well maintained home.
Repairs small and large should be addressed. Get that crack in the foundation fixed. Replace that torn screen. Take a serious look at the roof shingles. How do your walkways and driveway look?
Make sure your home is sending the right message. A Staging Consult will give you an objective look at your home and a suggested plan of action so that your home says "I'm a safe buy!"
