Propane tank in Minnesota during winterQ: Does the propane tank come with the house? It isn't listed with the appliances, and we weren't sure!!

A:Yes, it can stay with the house. As we discussed when we wrote the offer, you will reimburse the Sellers for the propane, and can keep the tank in place, or find a different vendor to buy gas from. The vendor owns the tank and lets you use it in exchange for your buying fuel from them; and there is no charge if you switch vendors.

The old tank would be picked up & new tank dropped off/hooked up. You will want to wait until the spring to have this done as you do not want to be without heat during the winter. Just keep in mind, in the spring with two trucks driving in your back yard you could have some yard care (better wait until it's dryed up a bit). So if you are going to change propane providers please think before you schedule the appointment.

Steve ~  This appears on the surface to be such an innocous matter, but, alas, the far-reaching issues which could ensue.  (Using my big girl vocabulary this evening.)

Tish; I am greatly impressed, and all without once using the word Hyperbole.

This is one of those seemingly "minor" issues which is probably often overlooked.

Susan: As we get more civilized, and fewer homes have oil and propane tanks, agents are less experienced at this sort of detail work. Even though it is a part of our standard PA some fail to address the issue, which, for a buyer may mean $Hundreds at closing.

Roy, this is where a Listing Agent could get a few hundred $ extra for the seller at the closing table. Buyers should be made aware of this expense.
