Arnav is interested in a residential property because he loves the antique light fixtures installed in every room. Corey is the license holder helping Arnav find a property. Which of the following is MOST TRUE about Corey's situation?
Fixtures are items attached to the property and usually transfer with the real estate. Light fixtures are typically considered fixtures, not personal property.
However, disputes can arise if sellers intend to take them.
To avoid ambiguity, the agent should specify in writing in the contract whether fixtures convey.
Other options:
(A) Verbal agreements are unenforceable under the Statute of Frauds.
(B) While fixtures usually convey, assumptions create disputes.
(C) Mentioning it to a broker is insufficient---needs to be in writing in the purchase agreement.
