It turns out, size does matter. Or, rather, the misrepresentation of a home’s square footage, as a court ruled in favour of a first-time homebuyer in Stouffville, Ontario, after a seller and real estate agent failed to properly disclose the home’s size. An appraisal came in at 1,450 square feet, while the buyer has been told several figures ranging between 2,000 and 2,500 square feet. This discrepancy resulted in the rescission of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and the return of the $50,000 deposit. https://hubs.ly/H0D4tM50

Wishing you a fabulous 2021 filled with happiness, health and success!

Weird houses have always attracted attention especially around Halloween. By boasting some peculiar architecture, showcasing unique interior design or simply by having a strange location, unusual homes manage to impress one way or another, through their creativity and originality. Some also manage to lure in quite a few visitors and become local symbols. Montreal’s Habitat 67 even made the list! https://hubs.ly/H0xl0Z-0

It has never been more important to support local businesses. There’s a misconception that because someone owns a franchise, they’re not local. On the contrary, each A Buyer’s Choice Home Inspections franchise is independently owned and operated within a local community. We empower local people who undergo rigorous training before becoming active within their communities to better serve their neighbours. https://hubs.ly/H0xl1g60
