What are things that a Seller can/cannot remove from the home?
Anything that is "attached" to the house or land must be left and is considered to be included in the sale. There are a few exceptions in the RPA contract- washer-dryer, refrigerator, flat-screen TV mount. Other than that, anything that is attached (even with one small tiny screw) is considered to be included in the sale.

Kitchen wood shelves must be left in the home. - Window treatments
If there is a bracket that is screwed into the wall, then the bracket has to be left behind. If the bar that holds up the curtain (i.e.- the curtain rod) is simply "resting" on the bracket and the bar is not attached to the bracket by a screw, then the curtain rod can be taken away along with the fabric that the curtain is made from.
- Plants
Any potted plants have to be removed (unless buyer approves them to be left behind), and anything that is "planted in the ground" has to be left behind.
