Just one comment good door locks can be rekeyed for a lot less money than new good locks.
My real estate guy even required me to sign a standard written form recommending that I have the locks re-keyed or replaced, for legal reasons.Just one comment good door locks can be rekeyed for a lot less money than new good locks.
That is so true.The issue isn't not having furniture; it's whether the furniture one already has looks great in a new place. Our experience is that it often doesn't. Even in a similar total square footage place, rooms are different shapes and sizes. Also the style of a new place could be very different- i.e., modern vs traditional. Hence, we've often changed furniture upon moving. May not be a "need" but I've seen a lot of homes where people have "force fit" furniture from a different home in, and it would look a lot better if they would buy pieces that were designed to fit into the new space.
That is so true.
As you point out, new furniture may not be exactly a "need'. Sometimes buying all new furniture can be put off, if one has sort-of-OK furniture to use in the meantime. Living in a house for a year or two can give the buyer some better ideas as to exactly what furniture to get.
