we have come up with an exclusion form that leaves nothing to chance. Both sides sign it with the offer.

It is also important to include a time line in the purchase agreement takes in to consideration a certain point in time that any and all personal property be removed from the premises of the property. This way you don't get stuck paying to remove their disgarded furniture (usually not worth owning anyways).

The vast majority of my sales are second homes and seller's don't want or need the furnishings. The lenders don't want to separate the real property from the chattles, so we have taken to using terms like "furniture will remain as a convenience to the seller and represents no value in the transaction".

Steve thank you for commenting. I have never actually seen the above term being used but I like it.

Our contract (GLVAR) has a list of items staying with the house....it spells out almost everything. I will write in washer/dryer/refrigerator in the 'additional' section. I once had a buyer who moved into the house and the built-in microwave was gone! I ended up eating a couple hundred $$$ to buy them a new one. The seller absolutely refused to return it. I also tell my sellers at listing that if there is anything they want that is built in to remove it NOW. I have them take down chandelers, fans, window treatments that are important to them so there is no misunderstanding when we do have a contract.

Hi Team DiMuria, I also use exclusion forms, but many Realtors do not use it, or explain the meaning of "attached fixtures" to their sellers. Thank you for commenting.

Maria, You are so right! Once I dropped in on a client's yard sale as someone was writing a check for the antique chandelier, which of course conveyed! That was a close one!

Maria~This is excellent information that covers the "just in case" very well. There are many questions that come up regarding the topic of what stays and goes for both buyers and sellers. Have a great weekend!
