Testimonials

Thank you so much for taking the extra effort in your marketing. We needed to sell our home quickly as we had already made an offer on another home. I believe that the Talking House helped our home sell faster than all the others that were up for sale in the subdivision. Thanks for selling it so quickly! Bethany

Felicia, Thank you so much for helping us find our new home. Since you were able to take us to homes anytime we wanted and was calling us every time a new home came on the market you thought we would be interested in, we were able to make an offer BEFORE the other agent even put a for sale sign in the yard! Thanks again, Ben & Sue

Thanks to the both of you for finding us the perfect home. The fact you were always available to show homes meant the world to us! You are truly a professional. The Williams Family

Underground Heating Oil Tanks

Underground heating oil tanks can pose many potential problems to both home buyers and sellers. They have been the source of many environmental problems such as contamination of surrounding soil and ground water.

Leaks are generally caused by the rust inside underground tanks or by an electrical condition sparked by electric utility lines.

Buyers should always have the tank inspected to make sure that it is structurally sound. Buyers who do not want an underground fuel tank can arrange for an above ground tank to be installed in the basement and the underground tank to be shut off. Cleanup of any leaks will also have to be taken care of.

For buyers, the underground heating oil tank should be written in the sales contract. For sellers, your lawyer should make sure that the description and condition of the underground heating oil tank is accurate and up-to-date.
