What can you take with you when you sell your home?🏡

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Moving out of your home is such an exciting time, but it can also get a bit overwhelming, especially when you’re figuring out what you can take with you and what needs to stay behind. 🏡 Here’s a friendly guide to help you navigate this process smoothly!

What Can You Take with You?
When it’s time to pack up, it’s important to know what’s coming with you and what stays. Generally, things like your kitchen and laundry appliances, outdoor furniture, and potted plants are free to come along unless you’ve made a different arrangement in the contract. 🌿

Sometimes, you can negotiate with the buyer to leave behind larger or more cumbersome items you no longer need or want. It’s all about finding what works best for both parties!

Tips to Help the New Owners
You’ve spent time getting to know your home, and chances are, you’ve picked up a few tricks along the way. Why not share some of that knowledge? A little note with instructions for any appliances or fixtures you’re leaving behind can be super helpful. For example, leave the alarm system codes, tips on using the air conditioner, or even the names of the maintenance companies you use. 🛠️

And if the new owners are new to the area, why not throw in some local tips? Recommend your favorite coffee spots, restaurants, or nearby activities to help them feel at home faster. ☕️🍽️

What Stays with the House?
Some things are usually part of the sale and will stay with the property. This includes items like curtain rods, curtains, light fittings, fixed floor coverings, ovens, cooktops, range hoods, smoke detectors, ceiling fans, and any built-in fixtures. 🛋️

Sometimes, items like freestanding dishwashers, microwave ovens, or built-in shelves are also agreed upon to stay. Just make sure these details are clear in the contract so there are no surprises on settlement day!

By knowing what’s what before you start packing, you’ll have a smoother move and a happier handover to the new owners. Happy moving! 🚚✨

Redefining retirement

Bob Owens Retirement Village

The meaning of retirement is changing. It’s no longer just about saying goodbye to work - it’s now an opportunity to try something new or keep doing what you love.

It’s no longer just about saying goodbye to work - it’s now an opportunity to try something new or keep doing what you love. Rather than hanging up their hats, many of today’s retirees are redefining this phase by staying active through part-time jobs, volunteering, or even launching new careers.

Living in a retirement village doesn’t necessarily mean you’re done with work either; rather, it offers the opportunity to explore different activities, pursue long-held passions, and discover new interests. In fact, many people find the lifestyle gives them more freedom to stay engaged and active through work they enjoy.
