Selling house: Perfect or sell as is?

One of my neighbors is moving. His pool needs to be re-plastered. A few other minor things. He did have the house painted inside and few other cosmetic things done, but the house still needs some work.

We are a fairly new subdivision. Started in 1999, finished in 2006. His house is a 2003. Houses sell fast here and mostly for ex-pats and people doing assignments in the energy coridor.

My thought is he should fix everything, so it is perfect move in condition. For ex-pats, this is usually essential.

He is letting the pool go, and some of the other concrete/foundation (not structural, but interface between deck and foundation), etc. And minor stuff like a whirlybird vent!!!

Thoughts?
