Langley, Bc - 9 August, 2005 -

To Terry Buehler and Nora Braun, moving to Langley 10 years ago was a dream come true. They were thrilled to discovered this modern community with a delightful small town feel. It's a warm and friendly type of place where neighbours still talk to each other over the backyard fence. Now they're giving back to the city they've grown to love - through commission-free real estate sales. It's easy to see why Nora, a devoted grandmother, has considerable work experience in retail sales. Her welcoming smile and pleasant personality make her a natural for the job. Terry, a plumber with combined sales and managerial experience, is a well-known face in the Langley area thanks to the word-of-mouth advertising he gets from his loyal clientele. As the newest PropertyGuys.com franchise team in Canada, these two dynamic individuals hope to help their neighbours keep as much of their hard-earned house equity as possible. With traditional real estate sales, property owners pay realtors (or middle-men), percentage-based commission fees to sell their homes. The standard six per cent commission on a $200,000 home means that a home owner is charged $12,000 for the realtor's help in selling their home, even if it sells the first day it's on the market. PropertyGuys.com clients pay a one-time fee for a full-service marketing package that gives them all the tools they need to sell their own home. Nora acknowledges they have competition in the area, but she isn't worried: "Yes, there is another private sale company in Langley, but they don't live up to their promises. Terry agrees, saying he believes his competitors are doing themselves permanent damage. "People here expect you to live up to your word. They respect honesty and integrity, but they have little patience for exaggerated claims. PropertyGuys.com is the opposite. They're more likely to under-promise and over-deliver." For a pre-set fee starting as low as $449, PropertyGuys.com offers clients marketing exposure, signage, web listing, legal forms and other support materials as well as the personalized attention of a PropertyGuys.com representative. Ken LeBlanc, president of PropertyGuys.com, proudly stands behind the company he founded.

We have a product that is second-to-none and two exceptional new representatives in Terry and Nora. I'm confident PropertyGuys.com will soon become Langley's preferred choice for real estate sales."
