We did a lot of modifications to our place and also had to our in all new furniture and some appliances.

I haven't found much of value after a move out or an eviction (well, my son and I once found a packet of what we assumed were drugs and I suppose the tenant would have found that of value but we presented the stuff to our local police instead) but I am a big one on recycling intact furniture to our local Habitat and Catholic Social Services organizations to avoid good stuff ending up in the landfill and donating canned goods to our local soup kitchen. 

We also had some friends moving out of the country, and we purchased their furniture for a low price, and the home is now a partially furnished rental.

I simply look at the spread between all costs and short term revenue to see if it makes sense relative to the extra CAPEX (furniture) needed.

People want to know details for planning their move...sometimes they want to ask if you'll sell them the outside furniture etc.....It may not be 'appropriate' for your agent, but my next thought would be how many deals have they done?
