Wisconsin Elective Course #6 explains the difference between personal property and fixtures and why properly documenting these items is essential in Wisconsin real estate transactions. The course reviews listing contracts, Offers to Purchase, pre-closing walk-throughs, and bills of sale to help licensees avoid misunderstandings and closing disputes.
Topics covered in this course include:
- The difference between personal property and fixtures.
- How included and not included items are documented in listing contracts and Offers to Purchase.
- Why written agreements take precedence over verbal agreements.
- The importance of the buyer’s pre-closing walk-through.
- When a WB-25 Bill of Sale is used to transfer personal property.
- Common mistakes that can lead to disputes at closing.
Understanding how personal property and fixtures are handled helps Wisconsin real estate licensees write clearer contracts, reduce closing disputes, and ensure buyers and sellers understand exactly what is included in the sale.
