What needs to be left behind after selling?
What items need to be left behind after selling? I'm assuming appliances. What else? Thanks

Everything is negotiable in a real estate transaction. Anything attached to the home is expected to stay. Some appliances like refrigerators, washer and Dryers are at your discretion.

This is a great question and some of this depends on the market that you are in, because they are not all the same. I would always consult with a local REALTOR to be sure based on the area contracts. To answer in general, Most loans require that the basics are in place, Items that are ATTACHED! Such as light fixtures, blinds, and Bathroom mirrors. (A picture hanging on a wall is not attached) Some contracts require TV Mounts to stay but not the TV as they can make a large hole in the wall ( Good Rule of Thumb if it leaves a big hole in the wall it is best to leave it there) Most appliances stay with exceptions.... In the state of SC Refrigerators are not required to stay unless written into the contract or unless they are a custom fridge built in with special cabinets. Microwaves that are just sitting on the counter do not have to stay unless they are written into the contract. So ultimately, It all depends on the contract for your area. But these are general rules.

Everything that is "attached" to the house is "included" unless otherwise stated in the "exclusions". I kid you not I have written contracts that "included" chickens and another with fish. I have also "excluded" trash before. The long of the short...hire a good realtor that can write a contract to your specifications.
