selling furniture

what are your thoughts on Seller's asking to not include the furniture ( I realize this is more common in Beach towns where condo's are often sold furnished) so they can sell "outside of contract"?

Rodney. Furniture is personal property. I just sold a vacation home and we sold the furniture separately for $5,000. We used the money to pay off other bills related to the purchase. If it's not part of the collateral then it can be sold.

I agree with Bryant, the sellers are free to sell their personal property separately.  Some condos were sold and financed as furnished units and that could cause a problem but most likely not.

It is becoming more and more common for my Short Sales here in the California desert to sell furnishings outside of Escrow.  It is personal property, was not included in the home originally and at least recoups the Sellers something!
