Exploring Niagara Falls with Miss Feng ShuiThis is my second time visiting Niagara falls, and I have to say there is a stronger appreciation for the amazing beautiful and power of this natural wonder of the world. If you decide to stay over on the American side, and lesson the expense of driving across the bridge, finding parking, etc, pack yourself a pair of great supportive walking shoes and take the pedestrian walkway to Canada. This is a view you can see when crossing the pedestrian bridge to Canada. There were clear differences with the American side vs. the Canadian side. All I'll say is, America, there is much work to be done and great potential. I hear the region was granted a great sum of money, which is something to keep in mind for real estate developers, and perhaps blending...

Hope for those that are underwater with their mortgages Is your house worth less then what you owe on your mortgage? If so, the term that defines this is called an underwater mortgage or some also call it upside down and you are not alone, nearly 1 in 6 homeowners find themselves in this position today. Underwater mortgages are mortgage arrangements that effectively leave the owner with more debt on the property than the current market value. Generally, an underwater mortgage situation does not arise when a buyer takes out a first mortgage. The condition tends to arise when a second or third mortgage is taken out, or if factors within the area cause the property to depreciate in value unexpectedly [ Continue reading... ] Buyer Resources How Can I Afford to Buy a N...

Sunnyvale California Internet company Yahoo Inc. is looking to establish a data center in Western New York.  Governor Paterson's office confirms that they are talking with Yahoo executives and trying to convince them to do business in WNY. The center would house computer systems and other equipment.  State officials say it would result in 70+ high paying technica jobs, but the luring the big-name company could help with other economic development efforts.  Governor Paterson wants the New York Power Authority to come up with a low-cost power plan for Yahoo that would help lure them to the Buffalo area.

Home Inspection Reports Home Inspection Reports Explained In the early years of the Home Inspection Industry, Home Inspection Reports consisted of a simple checklist or a one or two-page narrative report. In the inspection business, descriptive phrases are called "narratives". Both checklist and narrative reports are still in use today. From the point of liability, narrative reports are widely considered safer, since they generally provide more information and/or state information more clearly. Many liability issues and problems with the inspection process are due to misunderstandings about what was to be included in the report or about what the report says. Take the time to examine the Standards of Practice followed by your inspector. If he is unaffiliated with any professional inspec...

I had a new agent refer me the other day.  That's always a good thing - Right!  I reached out to the buyer and explained what would be provided to him and provided my fee for the inspection and we decided to schedule the inspection. I use an inspection scheduler and email conformations out to the buyer, the buyer's agent and the listing agent just to remind everyone that an inspection has been scheduled.  Good communication is always useful.  Today I received two emails after again talking with my client.  These emails were from the buyer's agent.  Let me share these with you - I removed names to protect the innocent. Hi John, I see your fee is $367. I guess I should have asked today how much you charge. I told the XXXXX it would cost them about $300 since that was my understanding as t...

Instead of whining and complaining that I hear regularly from local citizens, I am focused on real time solutions for Niagara Falls. Drawing businesses back, creating a world-class tourist destination and economic growth. Isn't that what we all want? I am tired of everyone trying to claim credit - who cares who gets the credit, let it just start already. As I see it, Niagara Falls residents get in their own way, wanting to have all the glory. They saved Niagara Falls. Meanwhile, we move further from the ultimate goal. The largest problem Niagara Falls NY has compared to Niagara Falls Ontario is the willingness of their Nation to invest in their 2nd most visited destination in Canada. Niagara Falls NY doesn't register on the top lists for the United States. This is not local government, ...
