Peace River, Bc - 15 August, 2005 -

Friends of Paxton and Lacey McInerney are feeling lonely these days. Ever since they signed on as PropertyGuys.com franchisees, this service-oriented power couple hasn't had time to spare. Between spreading the word about their new commission-free business venture and helping clients sell their home within days of being listed on the market, they hardly have time left over for their three children. "It's only been a couple of weeks and the reaction has been amazing," says a slightly dazed Paxton. "Word is spreading very quickly about how effective this marketing system is, especially when people can see for themselves that it works. Two of our clients were blown away when they sold their home in just three days!" Lacey McInerney says the ease with which PropertyGuys.com clients sell their properties really brings home the unfairness of real estate commissions. "If you hire a real estate agent," she says, "you'll automatically pay a percentage-based commission regardless of how quickly your house is sold." The standard six per cent commission on a $200,000 home is equal to $12,000. PropertyGuys.com is a commission-free, 'for sale by owner' marketing company. For a pre-set fee starting as low as $449, it provides clients with the support they need to sell their home privately: national marketing exposure, signage, web listing, legal forms and other support materials as well as the personalized attention of a PropertyGuys.com representative. PropertyGuys.com president Ken LeBlanc isn't surprised by the speed at which the Peace River franchise is taking hold. "The response has been much the same across the country. We're living in an age of smart, do-it-yourself consumers. We provide people with the tools they need to sell their own homes, and they save thousands of dollars in the process. It's only a matter of time before we're at the top of every home sellers mind." Asked if he had any advice for the McInerney's friends, LeBlanc says he's sure they'll forgive Paxton and Lacey eventually. "Especially if they ever decide to sell their home, then they'll be really grateful."
