Tretorn: Is It Ethical To Purchase A New Home
Hello Adrian Booker. First, I have to admit I didn't agree with your opinion for this discussion. I believe that Tretorn have every right to ask for additional money for the project to finish plumbing all the homes. The reason, I believe Tretorn was ethical to ask for additional money is because contractors usually run into obstacles and challenges that require additional attention to that wasn't planned in the budget. For example, I love to watch the home channel (HGTV) and my favorite show is love it or list it. The show love it or list it is about a couple (usually) looking to buy a new home or to renovate their current home (one spouse want to buy a new home and the other spouse want to renovate the home). There's a realtor and an interior designer that services the couple to make decisions to stay or list the home. …show more content…
Cutting to my point, the interior designer is giving a contract with a certain amount of money that she uses to renovate the couple house. Most of the time the interior designer has a hard time staying with budget because there's always problems that arises where she need to ask the owners for more money. The owners either give the interior designer the extra money or the owners will deny it. Furthermore, I understand your perspective for this discussion and I agree with you to a certain point. I don't think Fulkins should sign the contract if he doesn't want to sign it. Also, Tretorn should had asked for the additional cost in a proper manner and explain fully why he need the additional cost instead of demanding more money without an

    Mike and Liam can say that Mary is in breach of contract but in fact no acceptance was made on their part. How did they know what time to arrive? Or what color to paint the house? Since acceptance is what makes the offer an oral agreement and a binding contract, no match was made to the offer. When Mary made the offer to pay $2500 for Mike and Liam to paint her house, they should have responded by accepting her offer and even could have bargained by her paying them the money plus supplies.…

    Journal: Property and James

    This is the story that I have witnessed in my community. The dispute between the boundaries of houses led to the misunderstanding of each other. Since I do not own any rights to appear theirs real name in this paper, let’s assume they are James and Taylor. James and Taylor were longtime neighbors and best friends before the dispute happened. One day, Taylor had done some changes in her front gate, which included laying a concrete slab. This concrete slab intruded on James’ property line. Taylor and James had many strong emotions about what was the best way to resolve this property line dispute. For Taylor it was only a few cm. But for James it was a very important few cm. James, concerned about maintaining his current property rights, insisted that Taylor to remove the concrete. Taylor felt that in the spirit of being good neighbors the cm should be overlooked. On the top of the issue, there was a third party, “the property line agency” that was called by Taylor to mediate this issue. James felt betrayed that Taylor had called the property line agency on him a few months earlier. Taylor had called property line agency to get help with the property line issue. Shockingly, while investigating the property line, the agent noticed that James had constructed a concrete grave of his father 5cm in the backyard of Taylor’s property land. James was forced to move his father grave from Taylor’s land. James blamed Taylor. Taylor hadn’t meant for that to happen. Then she understood James’ anger towards her. In the end, James and Taylor made several apologies to one another and let go these past transgressions. Concrete slab of Taylor was still constructed and James’ father grave was also not removed. As a result of the mediation, James and Taylor were spared the expense of the property line agency and more importantly, returned to being good…

    A New House - Economy

    Consumers use marginal costs and benefits to determine if they should make or reject a certain decision. Marginal costs refer to the change in cost over the change in quantity while marginal benefits refer to the change in benefits over the change in quantity (“Marginal Costs & Benefits”, n.d.). The strength of the economy as a whole could affect the marginal benefits and the marginal costs associated with a decision to purchase a home. During times of economic growth, a consumer may feel that the purchase of a new house is a good decision because it allows him to enjoy a better living environment. During such periods, the consumer is not worried about mortgage or spending since he is optimistic about the economic situation. Therefore, he feels that the marginal benefits outweigh marginal costs. On the other hand, during times of recession, a consumer may feel that purchasing a new house is an unwise decision since he is worried about being retrenched and thus prefer to save up money. In this case, he feels that the marginal costs outweigh the marginal benefits.…

    The Bullard Houses

    Yan Ma, the representative of Downtown, started off by raising Downtown’s concerns about the future use of the Bullard Houses. Instead of mentioning about their current financial situation, Yan repeatedly questioned me about the purpose for which Absentia was going to acquire the site. From my prospective, I didn’t have the authority to reveal to anyone the real purpose, which is to building a high-rise hotel in the garden area. Hence, I made much effort in an attempt to get around this question. Nevertheless, she mentioned that the only way she could continue this negotiation was to know the intended use of the site because her clients bought the property in the hope that their ancestors’ heritage can be protected from being destroyed. With no rout of retreat, I chose to reveal that Milton Hotel Group wishes to build a hotel but to keep the exterior appearance as it was at the moment. Yan surprisingly seemed not opposed with Milton’s projection. Frankly speaking, I did not quite understand why she agreed to move on to the next issue after hearing a high-rise hotel will be built and the interior of the Bullard House will be redesigned as the lobby of the hotel. With this big issue being solved, we soon reached a final deal of a total price of $18.5 million in which $13 million would be paid up front and the remaining $5.5 million would be paid by installment within one and a half…
