Many Sellers leave the appliance books, warranty information, etc for the new buyers. That is great information to have. I personally try to write my purchase date on the front of all my brochures so I can easily check if the appliance is still under warranty.
Other things that would be helpful for the new buyers would be other types of lists. A List of Move In Tips such as:
1. The history of the house: anything useful or interesting about the house. Or maybe info such as when the roof was replaced, any changes made to the property, paint colors, do you jiggle a lock a certain way, etc.
2. Where is it and how does it work?Things such as the day of trash pickup; any rules for trash day. Do you get bulk pickup? When? Free or cost? Who to call if you have a problem? Where is the meter box? Where is the key to unlock doors if accidentally locked (the same key for the bathroom doors which have no key hole)? Where is the plumbing clean out? The septic tank?
3. Who does things such as organize the Neighborhood watch? Play dates for all the kids in the neighborhood? Neighborhood activities? Neighborhood newsletter?
4. Where are the mailboxes located? Where is the closest Fire Dept, Police Substation? Where is your post office? Closest hospital or emergency room?
5. How to operate the Hot Tub, the lawn sprinkler system, the pool filter, etc.
6. Favorite restaurants? Favorite stores? Specialty shops? Anything in area that you think the new owners would enjoy.
7. Do you have a Police Department or a Sheriff's Department?
8. Local Doctors, Dentists, Veterinarians?
Anything else anyone can think of to add to this list would be appreciated.
