Junk Left Behind at Real Estate Closings
Here are a few examples that many in the real estate industry may be familiar with:
- You’re at closing, and the seller assumed the buyer would want a pool table, so he left it in the basement.
- The previous owner neglected to clean out the crawl space.
- The buyer had intended for the seller to leave the hot tub but changed their mind at the last minute.
These situations used to be simple to resolve, with the seller offering a credit at closing and the buyer handling the removal. Today it is often not that easy.
Closing disclosure rules and lender requirements can make a last-minute credit between seller and buyer slow to arrange, because any change to the settlement figures may need to be documented and approved.
In other words, if a real estate agent discovers personal belongings left behind in the final days before closing, it will take time and effort to negotiate its removal. Hopefully, there will be a few days to arrange the paperwork; if not, there will still be a way to get the items out of the house and keep the closing on track.
