I tend to both buy and live in, sometimes for just a few years, sometimes, like now, for decades, the cheapest house in a a good neighborhood. They tend to appreciate the most. I'm probably the kind of buyer you would want, especially if you are going to use a realtor and pay their fee, you likely do not want a flipper as they will undercut the price too much, since they will want a quick resale.
This is what i would look for if i were considering your house:
1) get all I do mean all the junk out (this would be a real pain for me upon moving to also have to get rid of)
2) get a good cleaning service to thoroughly clean the place
3) fix anything, such as obsolete HVAC or electrical for example, that would make it difficult for someone to get a conventional, or perhaps any, mortgage. you may need a licensed home inspector to tell you what really needs doing, the realtor is likely only guessing
