Buyers and sellers I am begging you...
Buyers, in today's market it is SO important to be clear and upfront about what you are asking the seller to leave behind, whether it be the washer and dryer, light fixtures or curtains. As a seller it is very easy to get so caught up in the emotions of negotiating price that the other seemingly unimportant parts of an offer get left behind, only to resurface after you've already signed everything. Custom curtains are especially difficult to part with, particularly when the reality of moving is now hitting you, and the thought of someone else actually benefiting from the money and creativity you've put into them after you already feel completely beaten down in price is especially difficult.
So please, please read everything before signing ANYTHING. This will save you an enormous amount of frustration and unnecessary emotional turmoil in the end - AND save your agent from having a large therapy bill ;-)
