"I can sell this house."
"Just a note to say thank you for your professionalism and humour in helping us sell our home. After a three month stint with another group and no offers made, I decided to interview with scrutiny until I had just the right agent to represent my home in Plano. After five other appointments and two more to boot, you were the only one who had the confidence to tell me 'I can sell this house' emphatically. Not only that, you were the only one who questioned the square footage and as we later discovered, there was an additional 300+ square feet which enabled us to maintain the same list price! It then took about four weeks to obtain and close on an offer. We are totalled thrilled with your staff and their knowledge of the industry along with the help I received from your husband, Tom. You are truly an icon in the realty market and RE/MAX should feel blessed having you on their side. Someone of your talent, knowledge, concern and devotion are hard to come by."

Real Estate Contracts >The Sales Price
After your search for a house and all the negotiations are over, you arrive at the the sales price. Finally, you feel some certainty about your bottom line. However, it is not unusual for there to be disagreements about what is included in the sales price. Careful drafting of the paperwork can help to avoid future disputes.
The following definitions may help. Real property is land and any permanent attachments, such as buildings, landscaping and fences. Personal property consists of movable possessions, such as furniture and clothing. A fixture is defined as an item of personal property which has become part of the real property by virtue of becoming permanently attached, such as a new sink, a Jacuzzi, or a chandelier.
The principal area of dispute about the sales price often relates to fixtures. Most preprinted real estate contracts will provide space for the fixtures to be listed. Whether you are selling or buying, you should make use of this space. Do not assume curtains, satellite discs, antennas or fireplace equipment come with the house. You should also make it very clear what you don't want left on the property. If you are specific about every item that may be questionable, you will greatly reduce the chances of a dispute after the closing.
