When you sell your house, some things are expected to stay behind
and others are expected to move with you. Typically, things attached to the
property are expected to stay. Doors and doorknobs, outdoor trees and
shrubbery, cabinetry, light fixtures, toilets and sinks are considered “real
property” and should be left behind when you move. “Personal property,” like
clothing and furniture, should be packed up and removed. Appliances are a grey
area, and should be spelled out in the contract. When we left our old house
last autumn, we took our American flag with us. We left behind the wall mount
that was attached to the house near the front door. The previous owners of this
house did the same, taking their flag and leaving the mount. But their mount is
far too small to fit our flag. I haven’t found the proper mount for sale that
doesn’t include a flag. And Memorial Day is twelve days away!
