If you want it, take it!
Determine if there is personal property that will not convey and remove it. This is pretty straight forward. If something is affixed to the home and you do not intend to leave it when you move, take it out now. You don’t want a buyer to become attached to Great Aunt Sylvia’s antique, dining room chandelier. Replace it with something neutral and attractive BEFORE you put the house on the market. There’s no sense in imploding a perfectly good transaction over a simple misunderstanding.
Bonus Tip: Be sure to ask your Realtor about any flat-screen TVs that are affixed to the wall. Opinions seem to differ on this and your Realtor will be able to tell you exactly what terminology should be inserted into your listing and purchase contracts.
