Sellers in Wisconsin - Your Property MUST be Broom Swept at Closing !

In Wisconsin. a new addition to the listing contract reads as follows;

OCCUPANCY: Unless Otherwise provided, Seller agrees to give Buyer occupancy of the Property at time of closing and to gave the Property in broom swept condition and Free of all debris and personal property except for personal property belonging to current tenants, sold to buyer or left with buyers consent.

If a seller chooses to violate this part of the contract....the buyers can refuse to close. CAUTION WISCONSIN AGENTS: This also applies to sellers who may have vacated the premises in advance of closing.

The best surprise is no surprise...no home buyer wants the excitement of moving into their new home dampened by unwanted possessions and garbage tht a seller has left behind.

Ask your sellers if they have done their "broom sweeping" and better yet check....and leave that champagne bottle in the refrigerator to welcome them to their new home !
