What comes with the house?

Surprisingly, there are a lot of confusion what should or should not come with a house...

The general rule is whatever is attached to the property, it has to stay...In reality it is more complex than that...

Not to have any confusion or argurment later on, I suggest Buyer and Seller read carefully "Included" and "Excluded" areas of the contract...And,

Traditionally speaking unless specified otherwise, following items are included when you sell the house:

1. plumbing, heating, air conditioning fixtures and equipment
2. ceiling fans
3. water heater
4. built-in appliances
5. light fixtures and bulbs
6. bathroom fixtures
7. curtains
8. draperies and rods
9. window and door screens
10. storm doors and windows
11. window blinds
12. awnings
13. installed television antenna
14. satellite diches and system
15. permanetly affixed carpets
16. automatica garage door openers and accompanying trasmitter(s)
17. fencing
18. tree and shrubs

Now, you see the illusion some people are experiencing believing that they can remove for instance ceiling fans or blinds, it is wrong to do so, unless it is specified as "Excluded Item".

Everything can be requested by the Buyer to Stay, and if Seller agrees to do so, the list of new included items should be added to the contract and under Separate Bill of Sale with warranties as to title.

What if advertising (including MLS) items to stay are different from Purchase Agreement?

The REPC (Real Estate Purchase Contract) will most likely be found to be controlling document.
