West Bloomfield home selling tips - what not to do
How to sell your West Bloomfield home for sale quickly, what to do & what not to do when selling your West Bloomfield MI home. Home sell
One of my goals as your West Bloomfield Realtor besides trying to get you top dollar for your home is to keep you out of trouble. I want you to be as stress free as possible. So I want to go over one of the biggest issues we have at the very end of your home sale. I want you to be able to walk away and move on with your life without problems.
The biggest issue we have is that some sellers take items out of the house that were including in the sale. So here are my West Bloomfield home selling tips on how to avoid an issue that could land you in court or end up costing you money.
1.) Before you list you should take down or swap out the item in question. You may have been giving a light fixture from your mother and you still want it. Take it down before the buyer sees it and wants it. If the buyer puts in an offer in on the house and wants it, it becomes a negotiation problem. So take the item down, swap it, and pack it away.

2. If you have screwed in shelving units or built ins that are screwed to the wall. (like a desk). Unscrew them and move them away from the wall so they do not appear to be part of the house.
3.) Make a list of what is not included and tell your real estate agent.

4.) When you get the purchase agreement read the section on what is to be part of the deal carefully. Do not sign if you do not agree. Negotiate. Negotiate what you want to keep.
5.) Keep the agreement. Leave what you agreed.
Over the years I have seen sellers take down lighting fixtures and leave just wires hanging. I have seen refrigerators swapped out for cheaper ones. I have seen appliances take when they should have been left. It doesn’t matter whether it is a West Bloomfield lakefront home for sale or any home for sale in West Bloomfield it pays to prevent the problem before it happens.
