How do I structure an offer to include furniture and decor correctly on 30A?

If you want furniture and decor included in your 30A home purchase, everything should be clearly documented in the purchase contract. Verbal agreements can lead to misunderstandings, especially when furnishings add significant value.

Create a detailed list of every item you want included, from furniture and artwork to outdoor pieces, televisions, and kitchen items. Attach this inventory to the contract so both parties know exactly what will transfer at closing.

You should also determine whether the furnishings are included in the purchase price or handled through a separate bill of sale. It is equally important to confirm that the seller actually owns every item, as some pieces may belong to a staging company or rental management company.

Many 30A homes are sold furnished, but every transaction is different. Having everything in writing helps avoid surprises during the final walkthrough.
