These are great solutions to 3 common household problems that you can forward to your buyers and sellers.. a nice value touch.  This came out of the Realtor.com magazine.

Problem:  Nail Pops

Solution:  Occurs from a house settling or the wood studs drying out over time, squeezing the nail out of the wood and pushing it through the drywall.   Suggestion is to pound the nail head through the drway to the stud.  Then, just above it, place a drywall screw to hold the drywall to the stud and finish it off with a few coats of spackle or joint compound.  Finally, seal and paint it.   Most home improvement stores sell nail pop kits that can make the job easier.

Problem:  Leaky Faucets

Solution:  Most faucets leaks can easily be fixed with a rubber washer, an O-ring  or seals.  By fixing the problem yourslef, you can save a good bit of moeny since plumbers can be expensive.

Problem:  Oil stains on garage floor

Solution:  First, remove the surface oil by sprinkling some cat litter on it to soak it up.  Then clear away the cat litter and focus on the stain.  Make a paste of hot water and dry dish/laundry detergent.  Use a stiff bristle scrub brush to scrub the area with the paste.  Hose the area and let it dry.  Another method is to use a product such as Spray N Wash on the stain for 10 minutes, along with a dry detergent.  Your last option is to spray on some over cleaner.  Use this sparingly, wash it down thoroughly and keep children and pets away from it.
