What should I leave behind after the final walkthrough?

Unless your contract specifies otherwise, you must remove all personal property and leave the home in broom-clean condition.

Removing items that were promised to the buyer is a common source of closing-day disputes and can result in holdback demands or delayed closings. Review your contract's fixture schedule carefully.
