We put our house on the market earlier this month and got what our realtor referred to as a “unicorn offer”. All cash, 25k above asking, waived inspection and quick close. Obviously we accepted asap and have a closing date of 6/27/25. Now we are slowly packing up room by room and I’m wondering how much we should be doing/what to leave for buyer. Our attorney said we need to leave anything that’s attached to the wall but we have a lot of decor items that once removed will leave many walls with screws or hooks sticking out.
Example- we have a picture wall on the living room wall with about 7 framed paintings plus 2 shelves, we are taking the paintings with us but I assume we leave the shelves. Do we also remove the screws and anchors holding the frames in place? Patching and painting over the holes feels a bit extra especially when the contract states the house is to be purchased “as is”. How did everyone else handle the removal of personal items?
