PropertyGuys.com Teams up with Cornwall, ON Entrepreneur

October 3, 2006 – Cornwall, ON: PropertyGuys.com, the market leader within the evolving private sale franchise space, announces the opening of a new franchise in Cornwall, Ontario. The company has built a national private sale network which now has over 80 franchise units and rivals traditional real estate companies everywhere.

“We would like to welcome Ron Macdonell to the PropertyGuys.com team. We are thrilled to continue our Ontario expansion by opening this new franchise in Cornwall,” said Ken LeBlanc, president and CEO of PropertyGuys.com Inc. “Cornwall area residents now have the opportunity to sell their properties commission FREE by using our proven system.”

The Cornwall area is home to approximately 150 real estate agents that may not necessarily welcome the “commission free” alternative that PropertyGuys.com has to offer. The company has a proven track record of changing the way everyday people “buy” and “sell” real estate in hundreds of communities across the country. PropertyGuys.com is quickly gaining prominence in markets traditionally dominated by real estate agents and brokers.

Ron Macdonell says that he was first attracted to the PropertyGuys.com franchise opportunity because he had a deep interest in the real estate industry, but was not interested in becoming just another agent. “After all, the internet is transforming everything around us including real estate,” said Macdonell.

His research on the subject led him to PropertyGuys.com. Matt Eldridge, Director of Franchising for PropertyGuys.com says that Mr. Macdonell’s commitment to making a positive impact on the people in his community will serve him well as a PropertyGuys.com franchise owner. The company estimates that the Cornwall franchise under the leadership of Macdonell will penetrate nearly 25% of his local residential market by this time next year. This achievement has the potential to deliver area residents with hefty commission savings totaling millions of dollars.

Area real estate agents have never been challenged by such a competitive threat until now explains Macdonell. “When I walk into a home, I look at the entire process through the eyes of an average home seller, and I have yet to find anyone thrilled at the thought of needing to pay real estate commissions.”

Macdonell opened his franchise in June and is already getting rave reviews from his many customers who have sold their home successfully by using the PropertyGuys.com system.
