Have a plan to complete the deal either way (quite EZ, even if 3,000 miles away... using 3rd party to come in and liquidate) Arrange before hand, and know what the prices will be. ...don't expect $20k for furnishings, tho if you have a couple appraisals available and it is PERFECT for buyer... you may get top dollar. Most buyers will have their own family heirlooms / personal furnishings, but out-of-state buyers will also consider the BENEFIT of not packing and shipping normal 'stuff', that they could sell before leaving..

A realtor is not gonna be impressed with ANYTHING that might add complications / 5 minutes to their tasks. Thus... in 34 properties I have only wasted my time and money ONCE with a 'RE 'Professional' (?). Consider what will best serve ALL in the transaction.

I buy a lot of 'estate' homes that seem to come with a lot of STUFF... (too much stuff)
Thanks so much for the advice.

I totally understand not to expect top dollar from a buyer if anything at all. I would be sad if the furniture doesn't stay it just belongs.

34 properties thats impressive!!! We unfortunately weren't able to afford locally or even in the US so we started buying in Colombia years ago. We are at 16 properties so far and turning a property in Santa Marta to a small hotel. Colombia looks to be our end game.

Electronics are worth next to nothing as soon as they leave the store, so even expensive equipment might as well convey with the house, where it might have some appeal to a buyer, all set up and working.
We thought the theater room was such a good idea at the time.....It still might show its worth. I envision a large family with teenagers to help sell my house. Jajajajaja.
