Answer B: Personal property (FF&E) is specifically listed in the contract or a separate bill of sale, since it is not real property

Personal property (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) is not automatically included in a real estate contract — it must be specifically itemized in the contract or a separate bill of sale to transfer with the sale.
