Seller's disclosure stated a 500 gallon propane tank was the source of gas service

We put in an offer on land above asking price. We have found issues on the sellers disclosure such as not having previous soil tests done, but the county (and now I) have copies of a soil test under the sellers name from when they bought the property. As well as stating there is no known septic on the property, but we located a septic tank with a hole punched in the top covered by a rock, although it did not look it use. This tank is located five feet from their camper that they have had on the property for over a year, so it's extremely unlikely they don't know it's there.

On the sellers disclosure, they listed that the land has gas service, and then lists the source as a 500 gallon tank. They recently listed their camper that was set on the land for sale, and stated that the propane tank was also for sale.

Since the tank was listed as a source of gas on the land, does that not mean it's included with the sale?

We love the land, so these items are not exactly deal breakers. But I wanted to gather others opinions on the situation as it seems dishonest to us.

Our realtor was told by her broker that it's a loophole. Since the tank is not attached to a house, it's considered personal property.

Thanks in advance for any opinions!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Question With Tricon "Pending ID".....

My wife and i, along with 2 other peopl applied to rent a house, and our application says "Approved, Pending ID". Anyone else know what that means? Do we pretty much have the place or are we missing something? submitted by /u/Itskrueger [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1orixqj/question_with_tricon_pending_id/

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
