Okay friends, I need your help with an unscientific survey. It looks like some Builders are re-opening Sales Presentation Centres as early as NEXT Saturday.

Keep in mind that we only have wall renderings to look at and brochures to take home. No model homes.

Choose a) or b), and I’ll try very hard to keep my personal bias out of it.

a) Buy from the office:
- Visit Jennyfer at the Sales Office.
- You must make an appointment before hand, or encounter a locked door and phone to set up an appointment on the spot.
- Maximum 4 people at a time.
- You will be required to sanitize your hands, and don gloves and a face mask.
- All chairs will have been removed, so there will be nowhere to sit.
- All interactive touch terminals will have been removed, so you can only look at the site plan on the screen.
- You may look at wall renderings; and I may or may not be allowed to give you a brochure package.
- When it’s time to buy, we will review the 80 page document package together, everyone wearing masks, separated by 2 metres, standing at the quartz countertop (as all chairs have been removed).

b) Buy from home:
- I will email you the price list and floor plans.
- We will converse via email and phone calls multiple multiple times until all of your questions are answered.
- We will have a Zoom call ... for which I will get dressed.
- Your purchase is done via digital signature.
- You will have to deliver the cheques to a contactless drop box.

Pick one.

It’s hard for me to say. I just can’t imagine buying a house with either scenario. If I had to pick one it would probably be a.

Personally I would need to walk through a model.

I'm with @NYwdwfan in needing to see a model before making such an investment...but, given that models are off the table, I'll go with option A.

Also, going over an 80-page document with no chairs to sit in during the process really works in your favor. You can get the tired-of-standing buyer to agree to all sorts of zany, fine-print stuff if he/she wants you to hurry things along.

New Home Owner: "What do you mean all interior decor has to be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle themed only??
Jennifer: "Sorry, but you agreed to it when we went over the contract."
New Home Owner: "Give me a break. My feet were sore!"
Jennifer: "Doesn't matter. You agreed to the terms. Now I better start seeing some Donatello's on the kitchen walls or there could be a foreclosure in your near future."

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Here are my issue with models ....

Let’s say you have 12 different floor plans, and two model homes. Invariably you sell out of those two house types first, so now people are viewing a house they can’t actually buy anyway.

People show up at 7:55 expecting to tour models (which takes 20-30 minutes) and don’t understand why you won’t let them.

People want a list of every paint colour and want to know where you bought each piece of furniture and accessory. (Mike used to tell people the grey paint in his model was “Grey Goose.)

You have to make 6-8 beds every night. What the heck people do on these beds I have no idea.

You have to turn on every light and lamp, and then off again at the end of the night.

People steal stuff. Dude, I can hear the pocketful of cutlery and ... Why did you let your kids eat the decorative soaps?

People do number two in my washroom, and then leave, and new people come in and look at me and wrinkle their noses. There’s just no way to convey it wasn’t you, without 100% convincing them that it was you.

But mostly, they’re not safe if you’re a female working by herself. So many places for lunatics to hide. A colleague of mine (many years ago) was attacked by a guy in her model home. He hid upstairs until closing time and then handcuffed her to the staircase. (I had two far less serious incidents over the years - one that involved me calling the police, and the other where my dad came over and booted some guy out of the basement after he’d been down there for more than half an hour.)

I’ll take my lovely sales trailer with 30’ feet of windows facing a six lane road; with no hidden corners in which to hide; no furniture to duck under. Even my tables are all glass. Lots of fingerprints ... no hidden crazies.

I have some questions. If I buy from home, do I get to see wall renderings and the the site plan, etc like I would see if I came to the office, and would I have access to the resources one would have if the interactive touch terminals were not removed? In other words, can I see the things I would have seen by coming to the office pre-covid19? And when you say maximum of 4 people at a time, is that in one party? Like, can I bring my family of four to look at the site plans, or is that 4 different people at a time?

If my only options at the office are viewing everything on a screen, which I could do from home, as long as I have access at home to the same information I would get by coming to the office, I'd rather do it from home. Then I can really look at my leisure and not be restricted to time constraints because someone else has an appointment in 10 minutes and I have to be out of there. I can look whenever it's convenient for me, not when there's an open appointment, and I don't have to worry about being there at a specific time and battling traffic or unforeseen circumstances. It's just more convenient, in my opinion. There's something to be said for face to face conversations, but it doesn't sound like you can have face to face contact with you anyway and you'd get more of that in the zoom call than through a locked door or a facemask.

I'd have to see it in person. Heck, I hate even buying clothes or shoes online!

If you’ve ever wondered why we eat supper at 9:00, it might be because we have “lunch” at 5:00 some days.

It’s just a sandwich, but boy, is this good. Montreal smoked meat and Swiss on bakery buns.

I'm sorry, but that is not Montreal Smoked Meat. It is a much lower degree of quality. Over and over I have been promised Montreal Smoked meat but unless I was in a Deli on St. Catherine Street in downtown Montreal, I just wasn't real. It amounts to putting a Rolls Royce logo on a Ford Falcon. It's just not the same and shouldn't be advertising itself as such. OK, rant over! It has gotten me thinking though if we get released on parole this summer I was thinking about a quick trip to Vermont, which may just include a side trip to Montreal and the Smoked Meat within!

I have zero money to buy a house, so this is moot.

But since you asked, I could only see myself buying a HUGE purchase like a house, when it's done in-person. It's not like ordering a dress online from Kohls, and sending it back, if the color doesn't look good on you.

As PUSH mentioned, I would need to sit down with a sales person and go over all the paperwork, etc., in person only.

Thought I'd share some artwork my daughter did for her little cousin's birthday. When we were in Disney last Summer, her cousin bought a plush of a stitch-like creature...I think the name was "Angel", though my niece named her "Curly" because of the antennas. And my daughter and I had these Stitch ponchos that we bought at Primark here, and we took them to Disney with us to wear in restaurants where they have the AC cranked, and my niece LOVED the stitch ponchos and wanted to wear one. So, it was my niece's birthday Thursday, so my daughter drew her a picture of "Curly" wearing a stitch poncho.
