Question

Thanks for the responses so far, here is a follow up for clarification:

I am a listing agent representing the seller of a home. The home was in pre-foreclosure status and sold short of what was owed on July 29,2011. The buyer of the property gave my client until 8-1 to remove his personal items as the home was rented on the day of closing. When my client arrived to remove his personal items, a bystander who was "representing" the new owner called the cops and said we were trespassing. The new owner allowed them to take much of their belongings out, but a dolphin sculpture (1 foot tall) and a custom Hawaii photo was disputed and demanded that we leave there.

To make things easy, we left it, but these were very personal to them in nature. They failed to get me a list to create an addendum to include these as personal items, so that is why this is happening now. The contract states "fully furnished minus personal items, artwork, and all owner closet contents" The vague terminology would in my opinion cause the buyer to prove these are not personal in nature, correct?

I simply want to get these 2 items for my client as he was devastated that he lost his house in the first place, now these sentimental pieces are in jeopardy of being lost as well. any advise on how to retrieve them?

Answer
