sashadear: Road Rage...Looks Good On You! - 11/16/09 10:06 AM
  I imagine that EVERYONE has at one time or another experienced a 'road rage' incident. I have to say that, due to the amount of driving I do, I have certainly had my fair share of road rage experiences. The latest happened very recently, and led to a train of thought that has left questions un-answered.
Here is my story.....
I was driving home at around 4pm last Thursday. The road I was travelling on has a speed limit that ranges between 70km and 80km. There wasn't much traffic at all on that part of the road at that time, … (46 comments)

sashadear: Homes with Wells - 09/27/09 11:49 AM
Buying a House with a Well
In rural areas, many homes do not have connections to municipal water and sewer lines. Homeowners rely upon privately owned or communal (shared) wells as their drinking water source, and individual septic systems to treat and discharge their wastewater. Homeowners must ensure that their well water is safe to drink, and that their well and septic system are properly maintained. A malfunctioning well or septic system can pose a health risk to your family and neighbours, and can be expensive to repair or replace. It is therefore important to conduct a detailed inspection of both … (0 comments)

sashadear: Agency relationships explained - 09/26/09 04:48 AM

 
In real estate, there are different forms of agency relationships. Before an agency is established in writing, an agency relationship may be established by the actions of the individual parties. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck it might be legally defined as a duck, but usually, any relationship before a signed agreement is more likely to be classed a "customer relationship." A customer relationship is generally defined as the agent owing a duty of honesty and reasonable performance, but is not under contract to perform as an agent. All agency agreements define the specific … (0 comments)
