PropertyGuys.com Features Faster Growth than Tim Horton’s and Subway Combined

October 2, 2006 – Moncton, NB: PropertyGuys.com, Canada’s leading private sale franchise system, announced today the launch of a new comprehensive website, www.pgu.ca, designed to help the company fulfill overwhelming demand for its franchises. After nine years in business, PropertyGuys.com has sold over 80 franchise licenses. To compare, in the same time frame, Tim Horton’s and Subway had fewer franchise units established – combined.

“This launch couldn’t have happened at a better time,” says company President Ken LeBlanc. “We’ve been inundated by franchise requests from all over the country, so once again we have leveraged technology to help us keep up. Surplus demand is a great problem to have and we’re proud that we’ve come up with a streamlined and efficient solution to handle it.”

The company’s investment towards easier transfer of information with potential franchisees is a key element to reaching its goal of 150 Canadian franchise units by the end of 2008. This new system is focused on “education” and “transparency” giving interested parties immediate answers to their questions so they can determine whether the opportunity is right for them. The platform moves potential franchisees through logical steps towards a Request for Consideration.

The new site can be found at www.pgu.ca, appropriately named as its launch coincides with the company’s recent investment towards a new 4,000 square foot, state of the art corporate training facility opened in Moncton, NB. PropertyGuys.com University, or PGU, demonstrates the company’s strong commitment towards quality franchise training.

The new franchise site has many useful features such as a video introduction to the system, interactive maps of occupied and available franchises, a segment describing typical costs and an outline of the steps required to become a PropertyGuys.com franchise owner.

Director of Franchise Sales Matt Eldridge is extremely excited about the launch of the new site and the buzz surrounding the company’s phenomenal franchise growth. “We needed a way to expedite the turn around time for those evaluating franchise opportunities,” states Eldridge. “The efficiencies created with this new tool will enable us to better focus on those entrepreneurs that are further along in the process.” He goes on to say that interest in PropertyGuys.com franchises continues to grow because people are increasingly recognizing the steady shift from traditional real estate towards the private sale method. PropertyGuys.com predicts that 50% of the total residential market will be selling privately in the next few years.
