There was a seller who wanted to take her chandelier because it was an heirloom and I advised her to replace it before we listed her house because it was beautiful and fit perfectly in her entry and I knew any potential buyer would probably want it.  

Of course if you live in Florida, you have more demand because there are few basements and attics tend to melt or break down heirlooms.

I usually won't even reno at all with a tenant in place because your workers might damage their 'priceless heirlooms.'
