Leave touch-up paint?

When I sell my house, I plan to leave about 6 almost empty cans of paint in the garage on a plastic shelf. The lids of the cans are labeled with where the paint was used in the house (which room and whether it was used for walls, trim, or ceiling). Most of the paint is white.

I'm moving across the country and into an apartment, so I plan to leave some light bulbs also, rather than try to ship them.

I am leaving two HVAC filters that can be washed and reused. I used to Sharpie to label them "can wash and reuse."

I'm leaving the appliance and water heater manuals in the kitchen cabinets.

There is a box of new extra flooring pieces in the closet, left over from when the flooring was recently redone. There are two new extra slats for the bedroom vertical blinds. If the flooring or blinds get damaged, repairs will be easier because the buyers will have the needed replacement parts.

Will potential buyers view these items as helpful or annoying clutter? The house will be empty when buyers walk through, except for these items which I will place out of sight in closets.

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
