Fixtures

The question of whether or not a 'fixture' stays is a common question of buyers and sellers.  A fixture is any item of value that is permanently attached to the real estate.  This includes things such as light fixtures, wall-to-wall carpeting, landscaping and so on.  Kitchen appliances are not always included.  Be safe by ensuring that any item in question is clearly described in the contract.  Call with any questions!
