[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, anything screwed in is a fixture and the norm is for that to convey. Shelves, curtain rods, etc. [/quote]
 
Again, this talk about "the norm" as if every screwed-in fixture is of no further interest to the owner who purchased it.  If the owner bought rods or closet shelving which the owner wants to use again--then the owner can say in writing that it does not convey. Why would people spend thousands (and some do) on special shelving or rods or arty light fixtures just to leave it all behind, if they can use it in their next home? Is it supposed to be a gigantic, expensive gift to the new owner? If an agent or better yet, a house stager says to do it, sure, the owner should just replace the items he wants to take with cheap plain ones from Home Depot before showing the house, or label those closet shelves "Does not convey." But it's nuts for a potential buyer to assume that every fixture you see on a house tour would be yours if you buy the house. Do people really fall so hard for curtain rods and closet shelving that they are shattered when told they don't come with the house? [/quote]
