DO I OR DON’T I??

person-and-question-markWhen Buying a house, avoid causing anyone grief, including yourself, the Seller or the Real Estate Representatives, by ensuring that you are 100 percent happy with your decision.  Although it does not happen very often, there has been a few times that I have heard of situations whereby, after putting forth an Offer to purchase and having it accepted, the Buyers have second thoughts.  When that happens, we have a problem especially if there are no conditions in the Offer.  If this is the case, the Sellers will have to agree to ‘mutual release’  the Buyers and this is something that they do not have to do.  In order to not have this happen, make sure that you have looked at enought properties to know exactly what you want and what you do not want.  When you have found what you think to be the right one, take your time to make sure the right conditions are in the offer and make the offer price something that you know you will be able to manage.

Throughout the process keep in mind that this may be one of the largest purchases that you have ever, or will ever make.  However, also keep in mind, that this is a very large decision for the Sellers as well so please do not take the decision lightly!

Water Issues!

Apparently we have a new fixture in our neighbourhood;  a pumper truck that is sucking up the excess water that we are expereincing.  I am not exactly sure why (though I have heard rumours) but there seems to be an awful lot of water laying on the roads in the area of Brentwood, Wellington and Woodlawn.  There is even a generator, that runs out of gas on the weekends, that is powering a pump that is suppose to take this water to a proper storm drain.  On top of this issue, apparently when the people who are affected by this situation call in to inquire about what will be done to alleviate the issue, they are greeted by the mindset that there really is nothing wrong.  I have to wonder how these same people who are employed to look after such matters would react if such an issue arose in their area of town.  I believe that, at the very least, the people involved are owed an explanation of what is going on with the water situation and what steps are being taken to rectify it.
