For-sale-by-owner Franchise Under New Management

Father-son duo tells clients: "We're the same company, but better."

GRAND-FALLS/GRAND-SAULT, NB (Wednesday, November 09, 2005) - Jacques Cyr and his son Mike aren't the first owners of PropertyGuys.com's Madawaska-Victoria franchise, but they say their management style is so radically different from the previous owner that – other than the franchise brand – it bears no resemblance to its predecessor.

"The biggest challenge facing new owners of existing businesses," says Mike Cyr, "is that the market tends to associate the business with the previous owner. We want to make it clear right from the start that this is our company."

Mike's father Jacques, a 30-year-plus sales veteran, agrees. "We bring fresh energy to the franchise, and a renewed dedication to guaranteeing client satisfaction. We won't be happy until our client is happy. It's about providing exceptional customer service, and that's our specialty. Our first order of business is ensuring that former clients and new clients are aware of how much we have to offer."

As local residents, property owners and businesspeople, both Cyrs say they were driven to join the PropertyGuys.com team by the realization that money is too hard to come by for it to be paid out in real estate commissions. "It takes years for people to build equity in their homes," notes Mike, "and they deserve to be able to cash in on that investment. Our job is to help people keep that money in their own pockets so they can spend it on things that are important to them. Things like college tuition, vacations, furniture, or a new car – anything but real estate fees."

With traditional real estate sales, home owners pay an average $12,000 commission on a $200,000 home – even if it sells the first day it's on the market. Plus, most traditional real estate agents focus their sales strategy on the local area, thereby limiting the pool of potential buyers. With PropertyGuys.com marketing packages starting as low as $449, home owners get all the support they need to sell their own home. Furthermore, PropertyGuys.com's web-based property listings ensure that every home seller registered on their system gains unlimited access to the international market.

Says Jacques: "We have a unique opportunity to lend a helping hand to our families, friends and fellow residents. That's why we're so motivated to make this the best PropertyGuys.com franchise in the network!"
