To avoid conflicts down the road the seller will want to inform the buyer with details on the Des Moines home.

What is part of the house? Anything that is attached, built in, or connected should be kept in mind. Appliances that are normally included are the stove and dishwasher. The cost will usually be higher if the seller includes appliances that are not normally included, the fridge and washer & dryer.

Also window treatments, wall clocks and chandeliers, are considered part of the Des Moines Home. If you own one of these and wish to keep it, take them down before the property is viewed or list them as personal property, so the buyer will not be confused.

The buyer will need to be made aware if the Des Moines Home might have lead paint based which are hazardous. Also include if the Des Moines Home has any association fees.

If the Des Moines Home is near a military facility that might have explosives or is on a fault line, the buyer will need to be informed.

The seller want to make known to the buyer about any damages to the Des Moines Home that will be requiring maintenance. Ex: fire, wind or flood damage.

You will want to have the buyer informed if there are any fire detectors, smoke detectors, and washer/dryer hook ups.

By informing the buyer about their soon to be Des Moines Home can make the purchasing process smooth and conflict free.
