When you sold your non-TV home, did you leave "spare items" such as extra bathroom/kitchen tiles, lighting fixture accessories (like glass shades), exterior siding, paneling, pavers, external bricks/tiles, and paint for the new owners?

I have a "tag sale" category for some items, "definitely toss" for others, but stuff like this I'm not sure of.

Was this a discussion with the new owners? Did the realtor offer suggestions?

Many thanks in advance!
If I were in your shoes/position, I would make sure that I could take (and enjoy) the INCREDIBLE Florida heat that you will encounter in the SUMMER (plus hurricanes some years). Personally, I would look into living somewhere near the research triangle in North Carolina.
......As to other advice regardless of where you move to.........sell all the heavy furniture that you have and in general sell stuff rather than shipping it south or renting a U-Haul. You can go to garage sales or thrift stores here or anywhere and get small items. And get new furniture to suit your new location.
