As a general rule, when you’re selling your home, anything that’s attached or built into the house typically conveys with the property. For example, if your house has built-in bookshelves, you should leave those shelves for the buyer. The same is true of any fireplaces, bathroom fixtures and kitchen fixtures. The stove usually conveys unless otherwise noted. But if the seller does not want the stove to convey, it has to be noted in the contract. This could cause headaches for buyers, so you’ll want to adjust your price accordingly. You should also leave behind wall-to-wall carpeting and other flooring, hardware such as doorknobs and drawer pulls, light fixtures and any security systems or alarms, such as carbon monoxide monitors and smoke alarms. Items outside of the home should also be left behind if they are in the ground. For example, unless you specifically state that exterior, grounded items do not convey, any bushes, trees and other in-ground plants should be left with the house. Leave any extra paint behind for the new owners. If there’s something you want to take like a custom light fixture, replace it before showing your home. Even something cheap from a hardware store is better than nothing. Examples of Items that Convey If any of the following items exist on or in your property, they will sell along with the home by default. If you want to negotiate any of these, you’ll need to negotiate or specifically call it out in the contract. Built-in appliances Existing electrical, mechanical, lighting, plumbing, heating and cooling fixtures Ceiling fans Solar energy systems Shutters and window coverings Attached floor coverings Installed television antennas and satellite dishes Private integrated telephone systems Pool/spa equipment Mailbox Installed water softeners or water purifiers Security systems/alarms Window and door screens Awnings Storm doors and windows Trash compactor Fireplace doors, gas logs, inserts and gas log lighters Irrigation fixtures Electric garage door openers and remotes Water heaters Shrubs, plants, and trees planted in the ground All bathroom and other fixtures All associated operating equipment You don’t have to leave behind your refrigerator or other purchased appliances, such as the microwave, washer or dryer, but it can be a good negotiation tactic. Buyers sometimes anticipate that the appliances will stay, so if you do plan to take those items, put that in writing before closing what does and does not convey so you and the buyer are on the same page. There should be a line item on the purchase contract to do so. If you’ve mounted a flat-screen TV to the wall, it might be easier to sell the wall mount and television with the home and purchase a new one in your next home. But if you love your TV, remove it and leave the mount. If the buyer wants you to remove the mount, they’ll ask you to do so before closing. Otherwise, they’re accepting it as part of the home purchase. Unless you negotiate a deal with a buyer, any items that belong to you and aren’t attached to or otherwise part of the house go with you when you sell. Plan to take your furniture, art hanging on the walls, small throw rugs, hanging plants, beds, curtains, etc. with you when you move. Exterior items, like patio umbrellas, should be taken with you. But if something is too big or bulky, you can ask the buyer’s realtor if they’re interested in keeping that item. If you plan to take something that would normally be left behind, such as your prized rose bushes or a light fixture that is a family heirloom, make sure you put that in writing at the start of the selling process and tell your agent to relay that information so buyers are aware. You don’t have to replace an item unless the buyer requests it. However, it could lead to the buyer requesting more repairs to make up for the removed item, or they might like the home a little bit less.

Hi hope your OK, I am using a cross trainer at the min, it's supposed to tone you up but we will see😂. I have seen the cream you was showing before, I might get some , i get dry skin and the odd spot but always willing to try. Hope you had a great 4th of July and have a good week x

Tripod is fine. Whatever you do, Alexandra. Try whatever comes to your mind. Experiments are so fun. Mostly! Ha!

So lucky the cerave worked for you. I've struggled with acne my whole life too and cerave broke me out.

We live in georgia and when we sold our home we had to fill out a disclosure of what we were keeping and what we were taking. Not sure how that is in other states😊

@SimplyAlexandra

👏🏼👏🏼

we live in ohio, and have also lived in texas and the only thing we were required to leave was curtain rods, window blinds, and obviously all light fixtures. But you didnt have to leave tv's or curtains or shelves. If you wanted them you took them but you're required to fill all the holes and paint those spots if you took them. But I will say some states it's like a unspoken rule and they take their fridges lol. At least where we lived in Ohio and Texas that wasn't a thing either.

Yes vlog and if you need to put it on tripod then do it. My daughter just sold their house and it was same for them, if it was connected to house or to ground outside, like a flag pole or dog fence even it had to stay!

My derm swears by Cerave. She tells me to use the moisturizing lotion and the SA cleanser. Not sure if it will work for me. Too soon to tell. How long were you using the product before you saw results? Your skin is glowing btw! And Forrest is a cutie pie 🥰

If it is nailed, bolted, or mounted it probably stays with the house. It is a mutual decision between seller & buyer.
