When house shopping do you look in the fridge?

We are selling our house and I wonder how clean I should keep our refrigerator. It's decent, but should it be spotless?

    What I look in is the oven. If it's clean, then they pretty much take care of the property. But don't let your eyes tell you everything. There are very important things that you can not see. Have a whole house inspection when you make your offer on a property. You can make you offer contingent upon the results of the inspection, so that if anything major comes up you can renegotiate the contract, or walk away.

    verify which comprise your interior of reach eating place furnish keep. those I used to handle had the used stuff in a lower back room, you in simple terms had to nicely known to ask to make certain it. every time all and sundry upgraded, the provision place bumped off the previous one and placed it interior the lower back room. in addition they knew of all the going out of employer auctions. once you're on incredibly reliable words which comprise your furnish place, you will come across a form you elect new, and that they're going to exceedingly plenty sell it at fee to you to maintain your employer. yet another tip is to ask your soda seller. I have been given my cooler unfastened, as long as I stocked it with Pepsi products. yet i might desire to placed salads and such in there too. do no longer have confidence craigslist, opportunities are high the unit is ineffective and can require a ton of maintenance.

    Of course it should be orderly and clean. It's considered an example of how well you maintained the remainder of the premises. If you have a dirty and sloppy refrigerator, buyers will think that you handled OTHER parts of your property similarly.

    Yes, when shopping for a home I look in the refrigerator, stove, cabinets, closets, etc. Sooo, that will tell you that your house has to be spotless from top to bottom. I would not go into dresser drawers, or anything that personal, but I want to see exactly what I might be purchasing.

    It's only an issue if the refrigerator is part of the deal. Usually, it isn't.

    Yes, it should be clean! People will look everywhere from your fridge to your cabinets to your closets. Any lack of cleanliness or order can give the impressions that you don't take good care of your home and/or that your home lacks storage.

    i would only care if the fridge was being sold to me with the home. i might want to look behind the fridge though to see if there were any signs of mold or water damage, though. if the latter was not the case though, a bad fridge would not be a deal breaker for me. after all, a new one could be purchased for a couple hundred dollars. small potatoes when you're talking about a home purchase.

    If the refrigerator is going with the house, I might look in it to see what compartments it has...etc. If it's extremely dirty or nasty, it wouldn't make me not buy the house, but I might ask for a comparable replacement (meaning used would be acceptable).

    Its very rare one sells their house with the refrigerator that goes out the door with you.

    The stove stays and 50 percent of the time so does the washer and dryer but the real estate guy is with them and opening a refrigerator is not something people do unless they are really snoopy.

    Yes, they will look in the fridge, b/c they may want it as part of the negotiation.
