An observation about the world of real estate and real estates

No doubt you have noted that when you go to buy a house, the realtor very carefully shows you all the wonderful features of the home and garden, makes note of the local school and bus stop locations and advises that you should hire an home inspector to let you know if there are problems hidden in the walls or foundation. And it's rare if ever, that you are introduced to the people who can make living there heaven or hell... the neighbours.

Around here, it's totally the other way around. Meeting the neighbours is the very first thing you do.
Neighbours are the people you can turn to ask about house financing, whether the gutters overflow in the rain, canoe storage and where you can let your dog off-leash.

And we'll tell all we know about living here--- the rough and the smooth. We're the folks who will bring you dinner on the day you move in ... we'll lend a dolly if you need one and keep an eye on the kids while you empty boxes. All of us will smile and greet you, and some of us will become your best friends ... or your kids' best friends. Imagine this different way. Welcome!
