It seems to me that before the house is listed, the best thing to do would be for the seller to remove any items they want to keep. But that might not always be possible.

Do sellers mark items that will not stay or do they provide an inventory of what will stay? Or both?

If a turnkey has always been a private home and never a rental, a seller probably has a few more things to think about when preparing the house for listing. For instance, what about artwork? If the seller is taking a painting, should they just mark it to show it does not stay? Or just get it out of there, leaving a blank wall? Or, if possible, try to find something to replace it for staging? Or is it better to just have freshly painted walls with nothing, or very few items?

Suggestions? Advice? For sellers and/or buyers of a turnkey home?

We removed everything from our house that we were taking, as our agent said if it's in the pictures or at a showing buyers will want it, even something as small as a vase. Unless house is listed turnkey available then you might buy sections of furniture
