Should I take my hand painted (with name) personal Mailbox down while trying to sell my house?

Question

I am trying to sale my house. I have a hand painted mailbox with our family name on it. Should i replace it with a regualr mailbox while trying to sale the house. I know that you should take personal things from your home, i was just wondering if this also would help.

Of course i am taking it with me when I leave. thats not the issue

Answer 1

Funny you should ask this question. We're selling our home and my hubby ran and bought a generic door knocker and took down our personalized door knocker with our name on it. I said, why bother doing that now, just do it when we leave. He said, people don't want to see something like that, then they have to worry that they'll have to change it themselves (more work!). I saw his point.

Answer 2

When you move--yes, but while you are trying to sell the house, there is no real reason to remove it. If you did you would have to make other arrangements fopr your mail. You should also have it listed as a does not convey in your contract. It is small and could be picky but if it isn't going with the house you have to tell them up front or provide a replacement.pp
