Getting a Handle on The Fixtures Of Your Deal

Whether you are selling your home or buying a home, navigating the finer details of the process can be confusing.  As Real Estate® experts Realtor® Gabriela & Broker Boots know that one key component of any transaction is understanding which fixtures remain with the home, and which do not.  Fixtures can be any number of things such as a ceiling fan, a refrigerator, stove, or washer.  In some cases, a fixture is something the buyer fell in love with while viewing the home and is something that the seller took with them.   Imagine getting the keys to your new home only to walk in and find the living room drapes you loved and the custom ceiling fan are both gone!

Every step of the selling or buying process is carefully outlined by Realtor Gabriela and Broker Boots.  This thorough process is done to ensure that sellers are familiar with their legal responsibilities while managing the expectations of the buyer.   When all parties are clearly and accurately informed of expectations, it helps alleviate room for error and provides a layer of protection for all parties.  The role of a good Real Estate® team is looking out for their client by making sure every participant in the process is adequately informed.   

Real Estate® transactions are no laughing matter, however, if you’re looking for a great retro laugh, grab a bowl of popcorn and watch the 1988 classic Moving with Richard Pryor.  In this comedy of errors, some unlucky buyers find out the hard way what fixtures are and how much they are going to miss them!  Lucky for you, when you work with Realtor® Gabriela & Broker Boots, these mishaps won’t happen to you!
