Selling a house and TV wall mounts

Only if you leave the TVs. Take the mounts if not and patch and paint

Since they are somewhat tv specific, I would take them down. Unless you are planning to leave the tv up, they would be kind of unsightly, too.

I took the tvs, left the mounts. If you clarify before you sign the contract I'd say take the mounts.

That’s a tough call. When I sold my house I took the doors off the hinges and the light fixtures. It turned into quite the ordeal with the buyer, and I’m not sure I’d do it again.

general rule is anything that is attached to the wall stays with the house when it is sold. Does that usually apply to TV wall mounts as well?

Yes. But if you are in the process of selling, you can actually negotiate that with the buyer. I’ve known people who left mounts and TVs due to negotiation, and known people who wanted to take the mounts.

My opinion- by the time you take the mounts down and patch and paint the walls it’s likely not worth the effort. Leave the mounts and buy new ones at the new house.

I don't want or need the mounts. I prefer to leave them. I was just seeking clarification as to what is the "norm" here.

Unfortunately, this was not discussed prior to the purchase agreement being signed.

Tv mounts are included with the house per the Louisiana Purchase Agreement. You would have to write them out of the contract if you want to keep them.

Mounts are pretty universal. I’d leave it and put a note that you left it as a courtesy.

A friend of mine had some nice exterior ceilings fans. Didn’t want them to go with the house. Before listing the home, removed those, installed the more less expensive fans.
