The process of selling a home can be bitter sweet. You are excited that you accepted an offer that made you both happy, but the idea of leaving a place you called home can be a sad. I had my home built to my specifications and essentially designed it myself (though not for myself). I was there for every step in the process and watched it come together piece by piece. I can assure you that it made the leaving that much more difficult.

There are a few things that you should keep in mind when you are moving away from your home. Most importantly, there are some items that you should simply cut your ties with and leave behind. Of course there are things that you are contractually obligated to leave behind. You will have to follow your agreements when it comes to appliances, light fixtures and other items listed. But there are a slew of other pieces that not only will be useless to you when you leave, but can make the settling in process far more smooth for the new owners.
