November resonates with time spent among family and friends. It is a month of slowing down and gathering for enjoyable conversation, wonderful food, and fun activities.

Personal Property
What is personal property as it pertains to real estate? Personal property refers to movable assets that are not fixed to any land or structure.
Often, during a sales transaction, buyers will fall in love with personal items in a home which can potentially cause problems. As Realtors, we advise our sellers to either replace items before listing or disclose what will or will not convey with the sale. We refer to this as chattels; movable personal property that is not permanently attached to the property.
A few examples would be furniture, appliances, curtains, and movable outdoor equipment. One of the most frequent items that buyers tend to want with a sale are light fixtures. Light fixtures are permanently attached to the property and convey with a sale. This is a perfect example of when a seller should swap out that cherished light fixture before listing!
