The condition of the kitchen and bathrooms, outside concrete work and the condition of a possible front porch, exterior brick or siding repairs, is the exterior landscaping OK, closet space, any drywall repairs or painting.

Will be fixing the all the hardwood floors, replacing windows, fixing the small cracks in the plaster walls, paint, landscaping, replacing the front stairs and porch surface.

I would try to leave exterior, landscaping, and yard work and the final steps. 

I had a landscaper come out and tell me that I've got a problem with my patio installation being too high because they have to fill dirt above the siding for the wash out.
