Your Cedar Creek Lake REALTOR® / Tips if Thinking of Selling

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN THE SALE OF A HOUSE?
If you’re uncertain about an item, ask your REALTOR®.
SELLERS:
If you want to exclude items from the sale—a dining room chandelier, for example—the contract includes
a place for that. Have your Texas REALTOR® help you properly document your intent.
BUYERS:
You can request items that aren’t included in the contract stay behind. Do you want the patio furniture?
Your REALTOR® will use a different form, Non-Realty Items Addendum, to put your request in writing.
*There may be exceptions:
Certain items stay or go depending on whether they’re permanently installed and built-in.
Freestanding clothes washers and dryers go with the seller, but built-in units would likely stay. A
grill on wheels on the patio leaves, but one that’s encased in stone as part of outdoor kitchen stays
put. Three factors determine if something is permanently installed and built-in:
• How is the item attached? Will the property be damaged by its removal?
• Is the item customized or standard for the property?
• Was the installation intended to be permanent or temporary?
