What Happens to Personal Property Left Behind?

Generally, any personal property left behind by the seller after the closing belongs to the buyer. However, this can depend on the specific terms of the purchase contract and any agreements made between the buyer and seller.

It's important to review the purchase contract carefully and address any concerns with your real estate agent or attorney prior to the closing. If there are any items that you want to keep or that the seller wants to remove, these should be negotiated and documented in writing before the closing to avoid any disputes after the fact.
