Be sure to disconnect valuable chandeliers, grandfather clocks, window treatments or other "built in" units you want to keep, ...also list them on the sales contract as personal property.
Potential source of disputes:
Some of the biggest fights between Buyers and Sellers arise when the Seller attempts to remove an item the Buyer believes is part of the property.
A Seller might ask for a higher price if the sale includes appliances not usually included with the sale of a home. The general rule is that anything bolted down or connected by a gas line is included in the sale of a house.

Chandeliers and wall clocks are technically part of the property. If they are valuable family heirlooms, take them down! Replace them with good looking, inexpensive items before showing the house.
