Moncton N.B. August 23, 2010 - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
North America's largest private sale real estate franchise has
successfully launched a new technology platform aimed at those who
are engaged in buying or selling property without a middleman.
The new PropertyGuys.com platform, which includes a completely
redesigned and rebuilt web site, boasts an enhanced search engine
which allows buyers to search for listings in the company's listing
database of over 2,000 communities, using criteria from over 177
different data points.
Companies like PropertyGuys.com aim to make the buying and selling
experience less complicated and less expensive. Agents no longer
have a stronghold on the market. In some markets, a home seller can
access the PropertyGuys.com service for as little as $400 instead
of paying what is often considered a king's ransom to a real estate
agent.
"Property buyers want information, not some agent's sales pitch. We
believe that property seekers want access to as much information as
possible, laid out in a useful and easy to find and understand
format," boasted PropertyGuys.com CEO, Ken LeBlanc.
"With over 80% of home buyers now starting their search online, we
set out to provide our franchise partners and customers with the
world's best real estate platform. Period."
Aside from being high-tech, the company is also high-touch.
PropertyGuys.com is expanding all across Canada by offering a
unique franchise opportunity where its operators can profit from
the growing demand for their service. Franchise owners are taking
advantage of the apparent shift in real estate where power is now
being given back to the people.
"We're really excited to expand our reach by "awarding" franchises
to those willing to become the future of real estate," says
LeBlanc, who is seeking like-minded people to lead his brand in
local markets.
What makes this service so interesting is that home sellers using
PropertyGuys.com are often able to price their property nearer to
its market value, which can result in taking less time to sell. "So
we're not only more affordable than agents, we've also seen how our
system can results in a quicker sale," adds LeBlanc.
The company reports that since the new platform's launch, traffic
to the PropertyGuys.com web site has increased over 133%. The most
popular pages have been the redesigned photo albums, which now
include substantially larger images.
Among the new platform features is an ingenious new tool for
helping sellers get a feel for what a buyer is willing to pay.
Buyers who visit a property listing can leave feedback on the price
and set up a notification that will automatically let them know
when their chosen property falls within their prescribed price
range. What's unique is that the seller can see a graph which
demonstrates at what price ranges buyers are most interested in
their property. If at any point a property's asking price drops
into the buyer's threshold, the buyer will be notified instantly of
the new price.
Other new features include seamless integration with Google Maps
and Google Streetview, tools for sharing information with Facebook
and Twitter, and mobile text messaging services connected directly
to customers' front lawns.
