Should you include your personal property with your home sale?

It is not uncommon for a seller to leave personal property when they sell their home. Sellers will often leave stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, curtains and drapes with the buyer as part of the sale. A buyer may be more motivated to buy your home over another if there are personal items.

If you are planning on leaving personal property:

• Itemize all items that you plan to leave and provide interested buyers with a written inventory.
• If you plan to exclude a specific item, make sure the exclusion is noted on the purchase agreement between you and the buyer.

Including personal property with your home sale may help you sell your home but it can definitely stop a sale if not handled properly. Part of our services when listing your home is to assist you with handling the details. Call or email me to help sell your home.
