WORKING & DOING BUSINESS IN WINDSOR/ESSEX:

The economic base of the area is in the Agriculture and the Automotive industries. Canada's first automotive plant was built by Henry Ford in Windsor in 1904 and since that time, vast development has taken place, with Windsor hosting GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler and many huge auto-parts fabricators.

What does the future hold? Recently the CEO of GM stated that U/S. health-care labor costs amount to $1,500 per car for American manufacturing, whereas for Canadian production, (because of the National Health Plan), such costs are negligible. This, plus many other factors, make Canadian production a much more economic proposition. So steady growth in this sector is expected, as more and more plants move here.

Economic activity is supported by Municipal, Provincial and Federal governments, and new businesses of any kind (no matter how small), are warmly welcomed. So if you are setting up shop in Windsor, you'll find lots of help available. Take a look at some of the sources below!

Home Inspections >Inspection Repairs

When you sell a house, the buyers will probably have a home inspection before they sign a contract to purchase the home. The inspector may turn up something that needs attention or repair, and after the inspection, the buyers may produce a list of items they want repaired as a condition for moving forward on the sale.

When you get the buyers' list, remember that some of the items may be negotiable. Sales contracts usually require that all the systems be in working condition. Some buyers may make requests that go beyond the normal obligations of the seller. They may ask for a new roof or certain structural repairs that you may not want to make. Your agent can help you to assess the risks of just saying "no" to buyers who are making demands you consider to be unreasonable. You may decide to decline the requests, but the buyers may also decide to back out of the deal as a result.

When you agree to make repairs, hire licensed professionals who will guarantee their work, and give copies of the reports to the buyers. Arrange to have the repairs made as far ahead of time to avoid last-minute complications which could compromise the transaction.
