You can absolutely list your home sale to include all furnishings. If there are any items of furniture or decor that you do want to keep, make sure your Realtor lists them as an exclusion.

you can but the buyer will need to put those extra items on a bill of Sale instead of on the actual offer because the lender will kick it back do to the reason those items have no value.

Yes — you can sell a home fully furnished, and in many cases it can even make your property more appealing. Buyers who are relocating, purchasing a second home, or looking for a turnkey lifestyle often love the convenience of a furnished sale. In the Irvine real estate market, furnished homes can stand out if the furniture matches the home’s style and enhances the overall presentation.
There are two primary ways to structure this type of sale. One option is to include all furniture directly in the home’s listing price. The other option is to use a separate bill of sale, which lists out the specific pieces of furniture being sold. The second method is often cleaner because lenders and appraisers cannot assign value to furniture when determining the home’s appraised value.
If you're moving to Tennessee and want to travel light, selling the furniture with the home can streamline your move and reduce the hassle of packing or liquidating items. High-quality, well-staged furniture can also help the home show better and attract stronger offers.
As top realtors in Irvine, Irene and Ricky Zhang Real Estate Group regularly help sellers negotiate furnished sales. They advise on pricing, disclosures, presentation, and how to position the included furniture as an added advantage—ensuring you can sell your home in Irvine smoothly while maximizing convenience and buyer interest.

maybe -- you can use it for staging and more than likely it will need to go before closing

Yes, you can sell a home with the furniture included, but it depends on the buyer and the furniture's condition. Many buyers, especially those relocating, buying a second home, or looking for a turnkey property, are open to purchasing a furnished home if the furniture is clean, modern, and in good shape. In that case, the furniture can even enhance the appeal. If the pieces are older or very specific to your taste, the buyer may prefer the home empty.
You can still offer the furniture as an optional add-on or include certain pieces the buyer wants. Just make sure the furniture is well-presented and your agent can negotiate whether it is included in the sale price or handled in a separate bill of sale.

Hi Thomas, I am the Broker with RE/MAX right here in Port St Lucie. Yes! You can sell your home with furniture but it needs to be negotiated in the contract. Our contracts in Florida specifically say that furnishings need to be removed before closing

You certainly can list a home that will include the contents. Another option would be to have an estate sale; the liquidator handling the estate sale will quote you a percentage to advertise and sell your belongings and then will remit the balance to you. Depending upon the contents of the home, including kitchen equipment, an estate sale may be a better option.

yes, you can do it
but always disclose in the listing, also notify to the seller that furniture house is not always a buyer priority, the most of buyers bring their own one,
