Can you take light fixtures and curtain rods with you when selling a home?

Thinking about selling your home? Here’s a key detail you don’t want to overlook: what items are you required to leave behind?
When selling your home, it’s important to know that anything attached to the walls or structure—like curtain rods, light fixtures, and built-in shelves—typically needs to stay with the property. Many sellers are surprised by this, but these items are considered fixtures and are part of what the buyer expects to get when they purchase the home.
If you have curtain rods, light fixtures, or other attached items that you’d prefer to take with you, it’s crucial to remove them before putting your home on the market. Not only will this avoid any potential misunderstandings with buyers, but it also gives you the opportunity to patch up any holes or damage left behind, keeping your home looking its best for showings.
Remember, a well-presented home can make all the difference in a competitive market. As your realtor, I’ll guide you through every step of the selling process, from staging advice to navigating these often-overlooked details, ensuring a smooth and successful sale.

Hello Laura - the agreed upon purchase contract reveals much.  Read and review.  Rinse and repeat.

This is good advice to share with home sellers. It is not unusual for home buyers to be shocked by what has been removed.
