Still summer fun anyway... Well the weather has turned a little bit in the Laurelhurst area, but I think we were ready for it. I spent one glorious evening, though, yesterday kayaking on Lake Washington at Magnuson Park. I recently bought a really cool lightweight Hurricane Kayak from REI and was down at Sand Point Sail having my daughter try out some of their other models to see which one she liked.
Seattle Lake Washington Waterfront fun: The wind on Lake Washington was up a little and the waves were fabulous! I love the waterfront beach where we launched from. Magnuson Park anyway is a thing of beauty. I am always so impressed with the sheer volume of activity going on all over it – I love that they took the old buildings and converted them in to all kinds of great uses. This park is such an asset to not only Laurelhurst home owners, but all of Seattle and beyond, really!

Seller Leaves Belongings Behind. You’ve been patiently waiting to move into your new home. The day has finally arrived! You turn the key to open your new home only to find the seller’s belongings left behind. And I don’t mean a cool lampshade or a piece of art you could work into your decore’. I mean three queen size mattress, old cleaning products under the sink, and a broken desk. What does a buyer to do? The home is technically yours now but the seller’s Realtor has promised to remove the items his client left behind.
Has this happened to you? What’s your recourse? In the Purchase and Sale Agreement in residential sales, the Optional Clauses states that any personal property, fixtures, or other items remaining on the property when property is transferred shall become the property of the buyer. However, seller agrees to clean the interiors of any structures, and remove all trash, debris, and rubbish on the property before buyer takes possession.
Even conducting a walk through of the property before closing unfortunately cannot prepare you for what could happen: three queen size mattresses in the garage that were promised to be removed. Bottom line: what’s in the house when the buyer takes possession is the new home owner’s responsibility. And although it’s an extra trip to the dump for you, getting the crawl space dug out or the electrical panel to code at the expense of the seller is far more important than that broken desk discretly discarded in the driveway of your new home.
