- Do you handle the cleanout?
- Yes. Leave any belongings, debris, or appliances. The buyer handles disposal after closing.
- What if there are code violations?
- Disclose them; they're paid or remediated at or after closing, often without slowing the deal in Washington.
- Will a vacant home get a lower offer?
- Sometimes slightly, but the no-friction close, zero holding costs, and lower carrying risk usually net more than a listing of a vacant home.
