I don't think you can ever go wrong with leaving on a classy note.
Which day is trash day, which mailbox is theirs, where the main sewer cleanout is - lots of things they didn't think to ask & you can rattle them right off.
Wish someone had told me where mine was. A tree had grown over it and it wasn't found for 27 years.
That's exactly what I was talking about in another thread two weeks ago(see This Home Official Passport idea.)
Start it now, mention/note things as they arise, instead of trying to put everything together at the time of sale.
As I said it may help you get better prices, higher quality and faster services if you would mention it to the maintenance guy or your mechanic.
Soooooo, let me preface this by saying I am a big time type A personality.
I created a very large binder with a table of contents and all of the manuals, information about utilities, every room/trim/ceiling paint color with brand and code, and even a map of our yard identifying where the irrigation/water/sewer lines were located as well as the species/name of each plant. It wasn't too hard to put together as this is information I maintained in the course of owning my home.
That being said, my realtor said she's never seen anyone do something to this level. And yes, I know I'm an oddity but I have to assume it was appreciated.
WOW! Some of you are very nice!!! My experience was - a freezer full of formerly frozen fish that had thawed, a moldy mildewed fridge/freezer in the garage full of cheap ass beer that even the movers didn't want - though I did get a $ 50 rebate on my power bill when the power company picked it up! - a shotgun in the storage building - it was in the corner and I think they just forgot it was there - a cigarette smell that took 2 coats of Kilz paint on the ceilings and 3 coats of paint on the walls to kill....
when I moved, I had gone over everything with the buyer - and her parents lived about 1/2 a mile away so she'd grown up in the area. but I did mail her some warranty info when I found it in my file cabinet about 6 mos later.
