August 4, 2006 - August 11, 2006-Moncton, NB: Fuelled and fired for the future, Canada’s most recognized private sale real estate marketing company is forging ahead with an ambitious plan of expansion and strategic growth by launching a series of advanced online marketing tools to their industry-leading website. These new technological enhancements expand PropertyGuys.com’s geographical range beyond areas currently serviced by franchise units and provide an unrivalled level of customization and service for the dedicated do-it-yourself consumer.

According to The National Association of Realtors® over 70 per cent of house hunters are now using the internet to search for homes online before contacting a real estate agent. This means having an effective and professional online listing is one of the most important aspects of the private sale process and, as Canada’s most comprehensive private sale online marketplace, PropertyGuys.com is the clear choice for consumers wanting to avoid the high cost of real estate commissions.

With the new “Self Service” option, do-it-yourself home sellers can easily list their property with Canada’s leading private sale real estate marketing company, access the proven success of the PropertyGuys.com system, show their home’s best features, deal direct with interested parties, and gain international exposure on a website receiving 30 million hits a month. With more than a 50 percent savings over the fee for “Full Service” option, selling a home has never been so simple or effective.

With the rollout of these new technologic advancements, PropertyGuys.com further reduces the public’s dependence upon real estate agents in the home sale process. Designed specifically to give homeowners multiple options and help them save money, there are now more reasons than ever to take advantage of the PropertyGuys.com system.

“Our aim has always been to empower consumers by giving them all the necessary information and tools for the sale of their property,” says Dale Betts, Director of Information Technology for PropertyGuys.com. “This enhancement opens up our reach to a very different consumer; one who is more technically inclined and needs little or no support from our people.”

“The reception we’re receiving is encouraging, as evidenced by the hundreds of properties a month already listed through the system. With the addition of our "Self-Service" option, we fully expect this number to soon reach into the thousands.”

Buyers, as well, gain an advantage on PropertyGuys.com. By joining the Buyer’s Club, they can request email notification as soon as that perfect house hits the market. With easy and flexible search criteria, in-depth information on listings, 24/7 Tele-tour information, more photos, 360° virtual tours and direct contact with the seller, the buyer has, at his fingertips, all the information he needs on any of the thousands of homes listed within the PropertyGuys.com system. And he deals direct with the person who knows the property best….the homeowner.

With the company’s aggressive “Go Big or Stay Home” national communications campaign supporting these new website features and ultimately challenging real estate conventions by emphasizing PropertyGuys.com’s powerful message of “Cut out the Middleman and Save Thousands”, PropertyGuys.com is well-positioned in the forefront of the private sale revolution.

Mr. Betts has such confidence in the supremacy of the company’s new website tools that he challenges anyone to compare PropertyGuys.com against MLS.ca on full disclosure, usability, efficiency. “Consumers want more information, faster. Why not give it to them?” he asks.
