It's official, the Royal Couple William & Kate who were recently married, will be coming to the picturesque Canadian province of Prince Edward Island. The official dates are July 3rd and July 4th, 2011. One of the reasons for the Royal visit to PEI is because of the love Kate has for the classic book "Anne of Green Gables". It was a favourite book of Kate's and introduced her to the province of Prince Edward Island. William & Kate will visit the capital city of Charlottetown, and the other city of Summerside.
Prince Edward Islanders will give William & Kate a huge welcome. They appreciate very much being honoured with the Royal visitation. Residents of PEI have always had a great love of the British Royalty.
July 3rd & 4th will be busy days for the province of PEI. There will be a great influx of visitors to view the Royal couple. This will mean increased revenue for PEI businesses especially in the Charlottetown and Summeride areas. A lot of foreign media will also be covering the couple, and this will give more exposure of Prince Edward Island to the world.
The PEI Real Estate market can only be helped by this attention on PEI this summer.

The historic lighthouse in Beach Point, Prince Edward Island, Canada that was displaced from its location by a storm/tidal surge took the first step in returning to its original location. Yesterday (May 30, 2011) the lighthouse was hauled from its position at the Beach Point parking yard to within a few hundred feet of where it will once again be at the entrance to the harbour. The Federal Department of Fisheries & Oceans will build a base for it very close to its original position. The lighhouse should be ready around the last of June, 2011.
This is great news for all of the admirers of the historic structure. A great many people signed petitions that were presented to the Federal Government of Canada, and because of this, action was taken to restore it. Local residents and admirers from away are all expressing extreme pleasure on facebook and other social media for the good news.
Structures like the Beach Point lighthouse certainly add to the PEI Tourist industry and this leads to good news for the PEI Real Estate market. Investors very much enjoy owning PEI properties that have scenic views of lighhouses, wharfs, etc.
That's it for now...

Ducks Unlimited is a private organization dedicated to preserving the many wetlands in Atlantic Canada (Prince Edward Island...Nova Scotia...New Brunswick...Newfoundland) to give hundreds of species of waterfowl the natural habitat for them to have a happy existence in the ecosystem. There are approximately 120,000 acres of wetlands under the control of Ducks Unlimited in Atlantic Canada.
Recently the Lieutanant Governor of Prince Edward Island presented the Greenwing Conservation Award to Charles H. Perret & Gloria McKinnon Perret for their hard work in preserving the wetlands in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The Perret's donated 173 acres of wetlands to the Island Nature Trust in PEI. The Perret's requested that these acres be undeveloped and free of any form of pollution. The Perret's were very honoured to receive the very prestigeous award.
Prince Edward Island wetlands are not a normal listing property in Prince Edward Island, but they are very important to the PEI Real Estate Association for the obvious reasons.

A Prince Edward Island website that is packed with information on the scenic island province of Prince Edward Island is the PEI Government website. It contains all of the government of PEI departments with names, phone numbers & email addresses of the government officials from the Ministers of each department all the way down the department.
In the area of real estate, the website contains information on many aspects of PEI real estate properties such as all the rules about subdividing a property in PEI, or information about doing a Perk Test for the septic system approval on a PEI lot. Information is also provided on how the process of a water test takes place. Environmental issues on PEI is talked about in detail on the site.
The PEI government website also has extensive aerial maps of many communities all across Prince Edward Island, as well as photos of regions of PEI that are taken at ground level. Also provided is a map of every property & PID number and its boundaries. This is of great value to PEI Real Estate agents for getting background information on a new listing. If a PEI Real Estate agent knows a Civic Number of a PEI property he or she can find the exact location of the lot for later visitation.

We get a call as Realtors from a potential buyer about a house, let's say a fixer upper, and the client asks "What is the house like?"...What are we as Realtors supposed to say in response?...We could say that we are not inspectors, we are sales people, and refer them to a bonifide house inspector...or we could give the client our assessment of the condition of the house...but there's a "fine line" here...we can't speak as having the expertise to assess a structure as a home inspector could...the safe response may be to generally give the client a description of the house on the premise that we are not experts to do so...if we don't answer the client, the client will think we are not very capable as Realtors...nothing is "cut and dry" in the Real Estate business, we always straddle a fine line with clients...we have to look after vendors and purchasers for sure, but we must also look after ourselves..if we are put ourselves out of the business, we are no good to anyone...
That's it for now...
