In Germany they say. "If nothing is, will host" This is certainly bad translation, but it says that anyone who brought it to nothing else in life has, it can still try as guest host. It is not only poorly translated, it makes no sense in Nova Scotia. First, there are few restaurant owners, and second, so here is something from each. But it has raised the academic requirements are so low, it is intended to halt the slowest in the class that anyone can actually graduate. The Socialists, the principle of equality did homage, always have been, that every school has garbage men.
The picture with the restaurant owner can not be the. But we can replace the landlord and make sure the broker. Say yet that country is not offering any and every undecided bored Housewife its possibilities. Agents can always be. You do of course ne license. Would be even better, since this is a respectable club of liars, I would say cutting, still want to finish the last dump of the man or woman. This skill must be licensed. And so the brokers connect here in Nova Scotia, a country with only 900 000 natives, as it were on their feet. Not that it would be particularly motivated to take care lovingly for their customers would, now, but they want as many customers in their listing have. Because when it comes to the customer to move to a brokerage agreement, since they show the right commitment and are even on time. However, they want to only list items that sell easily, excessive, extravagant or unusual objects they do not irritate much. That would be a professional challenge - and they prefer to go but most of the way.
Otherwise, their knowledge, with some exceptions, rather poor. Of course they know the selling rules, how to do that with the lawyer handles etc. pp., But please do not ask specific questions about building, Heating systems, solar roofs, or soil quality. The knowledge-rich but often, after all, they are tailored to the needs of the predominantly inexperienced customers. Here, incidentally, to pay in contrast to Europe the SELLER the commission. You currently amounts to 6.9 percent. Most agents have joined one of the big brokerage firms, Remax, Exit 21st Century or They are therefore not truly independent contractor. Your risk is limited. This has a profound impact on their sales temperament - not come today, come tomorrow.
Tomi Ungerer, The famous cartoonist had indeed purchased in Nova Scotia, Cape Breton in a house. But even he, the irreverent individualist was, here are the blanket on his head and he took to flight. He has in his book "Here today and gone tomorrow" masterfully told and illustrated. We at least have now sold our house. That was difficult, extremely difficult and only a significant discount to what we had invested himself to accomplish. That is ultimately successful, we owe a broker. She, a self-employed and has only to be working entrepreneur is ultimately managed to find a buyer. She was as it were the only real (brokerage) pearl in a pile of fake Klimbim. But the experience remains: Nova Scotia is the perfect place to lose money. How many German and Swiss, we have made in the past years. Came full of hopes, highly motivated, their savings in this barren country investing. How many are they? Numerous variants of the task, the countless sad stories of lost assets. Everybody who comes here should be able to get over losses. For 2 years it studied the famous business writer and chief economist of the Daily Reckoning, Bill Bonner, a buyer for his property. It
So what is sad. In America's Housing Bubble and the Americans, or buyers of coastal property will stay where they are. The boom in the German and Swiss has faded for years. At home, it has been rumgesprochen that you can quickly lose money in Nova Scotia, every fart is regulated and, of course, is the Canadian dollar can no longer particularly cheap. Today we are invited
. With our friends the B. 's, which they already know from my stories already. He is a lobster in the 3rd Generation, and they rented their own summer houses. They have Simon, he is 12 years old, a friend of our son. "What is the future of Nova Scotia" they ask me. Sharri Simon wants to take her time to Vancouver, so he sees something else. Milton is not so enthusiastic and I'm trying to diplomatic answer when I out the window at the lovely bay, which is now bathed in sunlight-friendly, look. "Do not make him unhappy," I say. "It will be yes or Lobster fisherman, he will spend his life, he will feel the deficits do not like us, how people feel from the outside. On the contrary, it shows the value of their own existence here and force- not his dissatisfaction. Only people from outside have trouble accepting it all so, with which it is made up of former socialist countries less difficult. "You will agree.
But what you can change to give impetus to the province? It would also to Simon and the next generation. How can you make it so attractive that comes from money that is made here and stays here? "Ask both.
"hunt the government passes the hell, 60 percent of all legislation, the country's aging makes it attractive to young people who come here and stay here. Every 3rd Her car has a disabled character, the old, conservative people block the future of your children. Allows the breeding of wild animals, deer, deer, pheasants, jays. Breeding fur animals, reforesting your forests, but that's how you can reap strong stems, scans the undergrowth. Privatized the electricity and creates a public transport system. Allows night clubs, festivals, and the young people not proscriptive Sun Who makes money it would spend it. Uses the steady wind with wind energy, and give concessions to reduce your resources are not in the wrong hands. And do not think above all days and night only security! "
" Oh dear, "said Milton. "That's impossible. Everything will stay that way. The neighbors are too conservative. There are so her people from Toronto from Ottawa, from Montreal. But these are retirees who want a quiet retirement. The spend any money, costs money. The politicians are only constructed to a house. But this is a one-time issue. Long term, they adversely affect the social system. Young people beat it, ----- if they have what in the head .... "
" You see, "I say," and so do I. And take my children back. Again 2 less. Maureen and Mark and see no future here for their two. "
And then we sip our rum-Cola. And determine jointly that the alcohol is much too expensive. been made is. Which the liquor stores are also the state.
But back to our house. The broker then sold our last. We had designed it, we had built it. It was 420 square meters large, hatte3 bathrooms and a guest bathroom, a built-in floor heating on both levels in solid oak flooring and kitchen appliances by Miele. It was so much more demanding than the national standard Average, the plot was 5 times larger than usual in the neighborhood, expressed modest: It was a luxury house. It is equipped, but of course no local inquired. It was clear to us that it would be difficult to sell, but it is interesting to remember in retrospect, all of the crazies who were dragged from the various brokers here. By too large (which we of course understood) to light, too dark, too small input, input too large to fit into the stove, a Turkey (a particularly serious issue for a several hundred thousand Dollar house) to "I would prefer colored walls," as if there were no brushes and paint pots of intelligent questions were all represented. The question whether the foundation dry, close the roof or the risers are sufficiently provided, no one. Then came
Wonnepropen family. Both the double of me, and my wife always complains about my being overweight, a junior, 4 years old, in the size and weight of a 12 year old. They were very well so they ordered an expert who examined the house thoroughly and confirmed that it was perfect and without flaws. We were happy, and when the woman called to ask if she could show the house and the playground to her son, of course I said yes. She came, he played, we drank coffee together. I told how we had moved in, all the neighbors in turn invited to the dinner and in the early years of summer parties for up to 60 people were held. She said her family knew nothing of the decision to buy and when I asked "whether she can talk as well," she pointed out that they were state employees. Well, because ...
The estate agent, I completed a bet that the house in 4 years back on the market, for 420 square meters, 8 rooms, and numerous other rooms are maybe too big for only 3 characters. Now, 6 months later, the house is back on the market. I won the bet. Of the neighbors no one has seen the new owners, the child almost never play on the playground. We were so difficult and demanding. And our Canadian successor? Behaved very Canadian. Bon accepted.
Now we live in a small cottage. This is so small that it fits in our old living room. All of our furniture and books, everything is in storage. We will stay here a year before we finally and it pulls out from Nova Scotia. Our "landlord", that our landlord is happy to have us as tenants. Finally, we have indeed paid the rent for a year ahead.
But what remains as a reminder for 10 years Nova Scotia? We got our daughter there and sent our children to school. We were a small, closed family that delights in its lake, and enjoyed the size of a forest plot. We had great moments and Santa Claus himself came. We found a few friends but also bigoted Hypocrites and had neighbors. We though that country as a large area but not really felt free. This gives us the lack of curiosity, hunger and interest in education as disturbed as we missed and cultural events.
Nevertheless
Nova Scotia was part of our lives, perhaps a little too long, but short enough to look to new horizons.
Update: in 2008 we embarked on a four-year world tour. About our impressions, we report on our blog www.rebellogblog.com
