What Stays and Goes When I Sell?
Are there any items in my home I will not include in the FSBO sale?
Few things upset buyers more than surprise removals. As a FSBO seller, decide early which items stay with the home and which you plan to keep. Built‑in items, like light fixtures and attached shelving, usually stay. Personal items, like furniture and decor, usually go. Gray areas include things like window treatments, mounted TVs, or special mirrors.
Make a written list of exclusions, such as “Dining room chandelier does not stay” or “Washer and dryer are not included,” according to THE FSBO Manual. If something has strong sentimental value, consider removing it before photos and showings. That way buyers never expect it. Clear expectations reduce friction when you reach the offer and inspection stage.
Include your inclusion and exclusion notes in your listing and confirm them in the purchase contract. This simple clarity protects both you and the buyer. It also keeps small items from becoming big problems just days before closing. Clean, written rules show that you take the sale seriously and respect the buyer’s trust.
