susan emo: Should I list my property for sale with a local "mom and pop" style brokerage or should I go with a big box brokerage?F.A.Q. OF HOME BUYERS AND SELLERS IN GANANOQUE: #9 - 05/29/12 06:49 PM
F.A.Q. OF HOME BUYERS AND SELLERS IN GANANOQUE: #9
Should I list my property for sale with a local "mom and pop" style brokerage or should I go with a big box brokerage?
This should be one of the most thought out and serious of decisions but one, that I have found, to be given very little consideration. Often when a Realtor is invited to list a home that didn't sell previously with the Seller's first choice, the Seller is asked "why did you choose your first Realtor?"
You would be amazed at some of the answers provided:

F.A.Q. OF HOME BUYERS AND SELLERS IN GANANOQUE: #10
Is this house haunted?
Yes, this is a frequently asked question your favourite Gananoque Realtor hears often!
The Town of Gananoque is an old town, first settled in 1789. During the War of 1812, American forces raided the government depot in the town to disrupt the flow of British supplies between Kingston and Montreal. It was the first offensive action on Canadian soil but not the last! The town will be commemorating the 200th anniversary of our victory beginning June 18th, 2012
We have beautiful old churches and gorgeous old homes … (8 comments)

susan emo: HAPPY NEW HOME OWNER IN THE GANANOQUE AREA! - 05/24/12 10:46 AM
Gananoque, On
Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE LOVE referrals? This happy new home owner in the Gananoque area was a referral from another Realtor whom I met 5 or 6 years ago at a RE/MAX function. Her client was relocating to our area and I immediately came to mind - Thank you so much Darlene Kretz of RE/MAX Garden City, Burlington
He was a great guy to work with, knowing pretty much what he wanted from the onset. We looked at a few properties that he had found online and then we looked at a few of my … (5 comments)

susan emo: INTERNATIONAL BUYERS - WELCOME !! - 03/09/12 10:50 AM
This morning I read two different articles that got me wondering about whether or not I should focus my marketing efforts overseas?
The first was a story about a modest bungalow selling for $421,800 over asking price. Asking price was $759,000 and was described as "not having had a whole lot of updating since it was built in the 1960s".
The 'successful bidder' is a university student from China with family money behind her so no worries about the property not appraising for value! Considering she paid $1,180,800 for this dated 3 bedroom home, it is a good thing she doesn't … (21 comments)

Anyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. Growing up, we were always surrounded by pets of all shapes and sizes: goats, cats, a horse, Irish Wolfhounds, Giant Schnauzer and even now in our home you'll find 2 Australian Shepherds and 2 toy poodles.
When I heard about Lucy, I knew I had to share this story with the many animal lovers out there . . .
This little, teeny, tiny dog is a working dog . . .

Guess where I'm going tonite in the 'metropolis' of Gananoque??
I'm going to The Socialist Pig for a latte and there, Mark Sinnett, the author of The Border Guards will be reading from his book (and I hope to get an autographed copy too.)
There is only 1 copy left in stock at Amazon and this is part of their review of same:

Saint Valentine really got around . . . this is one busy busy Saint!
Or, was there two different Saints?
Did you know the Patron Saint of Epilepsy is also Saint Valentine? (along with another 40 Saints!)
It seems the bigger, greater the disease, the more saints that were assigned to the task!!
There are two saints with the name Valentine who are worshipped in the Roman Catholic Church:
Valentine of Terni, patron saint day February 14, and
Valentine of Rhaetia, patron saint day January 7.
Historically, people with epilepsy are portrayed in images of both these St. Valentines. … (12 comments)

I was born and raised in Kingston so this comes as no surprise to me. I now live just a few minutes outside the City, in the Town of Gananoque which is equally (or greater) romantic but this contest was limited to Cities in excess of 80,000 people. (we have 5200 if we're lucky)

susan emo: Are we reliving the 60's ? - 02/07/12 04:58 PM
The Chew (a tv cooking show) spoke of the 60's being a time when people realized they could afford to entertain at home by way of dinner and cocktail parties. It became a time when food was more than just sustenance. It was a time of the ever popular Avocado Green appliances too.
Then we went thru the seasons of almond, black, white and stainless . . .
Guess what?
Nowadays, many people can't afford to go out to eat so they've come back to home entertainment. Dinner parties are huge again!
Also, the ever popular coloured kitchen … (39 comments)

Gananoque, ON
Each month I like to take a look back at my most viewed posts and see what is getting read the most. Often what is getting the most views doesn't match up with the most comments left. This is encouraging to me because I block any comments from non-members to avoid the dreaded spam. So if I'm seeing alot of Views, it tells me that perhaps it is the public finding, and reading my posts.
But then again, I KNOW it is the Public finding me because month after month it is my Localism posts that get … (16 comments)

susan emo: Re-Blog: Why Are Buyers and Sellers Willing to Shoot Themselves in the Foot Over Relatively Small Dollar Amounts? - 02/03/12 02:49 PM
Gananoque, ON
If you are considering buying or selling, this is a great article to read. Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith (on both sides) and ask yourself if it is really price or ego getting in the way. I will never advise a Buyer to pay over their max budget if it will put them in jeopardy but sometimes a few extra thousand won't break the bank! Thanks Chris Ann!!
