While reading Barb Szabo's post on Attention Sellers: Ten Affordable Tips for Making Your Home "Market Ready, I remembered a vacant home that I listed which was in dire need of some house cleaning.
The house I was listing, had been vacant for a few months. So, 
I asked the seller to hire someone to clean the house, since she was not able to clean it herself. About a week later, someone called and wanted to see the house. It was indeed clean, so I thought.
As we walked through the kitchen, I looked up at the ceiling fan, amazed at the DIRT, GREASE, and COBWEBS hanging from this fan. It was just so disgusting. When I got back to the office, I, of course, called the seller and informed her about the filthy fan. She said she would take care of it.
Well, when I returned, let's just say, nothing was hanging down from the fan. The fan really needed to be replaced, but the seller did not agree!
So for all you sellers, I would suggest that you read the above post for some great tips on making your home market ready.
