Personal Property section – paragraph 1(d) of the “AS IS” Contract provides a list of personal property items that are included with the sale of the real property. Among the items included are any existing range(s)/oven(s), refrigerator(s), light fixture(s) and ceiling fan(s).
What isn’t included in that list? Any washer or dryer that may exist on the property. Therefore, a buyer who would like an existing washer or dryer to be part of the sale must add “washer and dryer” to the lines within that same paragraph in order for them to be part of the deal.
On the flip side, sellers who have a family heirloom chandelier in the dining room that they wish to remove before closing must make sure that the chandelier is excluded from the sale. This can be done in paragraph 1(e).
A word of caution: Just because an item is listed in the MLS does NOT make that automatically part of the contract. The contract must clearly outline what is going and staying, as that is the document that governs the parties.
