First, Let’s
define the word fixture in real estate.
A real estate fixture is
any object permanently attached to a property by way of bolts, screws, nails,
glue, cement or other means.
Ring door bells and other
smart devices such as; smart switches, smart thermostats, smart doorbells, and
security cameras may be hardwired, which would firmly place them under the
“fixtures” category.
Often sellers are likely
to consider those items as personal property, but they are real estate fixtures
by definition. Just as much as a light fixture, blinds, rods and anything
attached to the wall like shelving.
We recommend if
you are selling your home, you remove any fixture you want to not go with the sale in advance of showing
your home.
Once you put your
home on the market; for example that Ring doorbell is not removed, it can be an
attractive item the buyer will want but can’t have and can cause unnecessary trouble.
I read a humorous
commentary it goes something like this.
You don’t invite
children into your house and leave a cake and big bunch of candy on the table
and tell them they can’t have any of it. You put that away before you invite
them inside.
It’s the same
thing when selling your home, remove the temptation or the source of potential
frustration. Remove that “eye candy” and replace it with what you are going
leave with the home.
Thinking of
selling? Have other questions or curious
the value of your home in the current market? DM or call us.
It’s a big
decision, we know,
We are here to
help.
