Seasoned Entrepreneur Zeroes In On Big PropertyGuys.com Franchise Opportunity

Franchisewire:
Alan Utting has a face the people of Maple Ridge, BC have learned to trust. Previously, as operator of a local award-winning department store, he was known for the high level of customer service and care he offered. In those days, he helped furnish houses. Now, as the local franchise owner of PropertyGuys.com, Canada’s leading private sale real estate marketing company, he’s the guy to call when you need to sell one.

‘But I’m not a realtor,’ he stresses up front. ‘Some people still confuse PropertyGuys.com with realtors, but I’m working hard to change that perception. I help people sell on their own, without an agent. By doing this, they are saving, on average, $14,000 in real estate commissions.’

It was a discerning eye for potential, sharpened through years of sales experience, that 1st led Alan to research, then to choose PropertyGuys.com as the business he wanted to pursue. He liked that he would be selling a concept instead of a commodity.

Alan says, so far this year, he’s already helped homeowners in the Maple Ridge/Pitt Meadows area keep over $300,000 hard-earned dollars in their own pockets by using the proven success and online presence of PropertyGuys.com’s private sale marketing system. This is also great news to consumers in the Greater Vancouver Regional District who, PropertyGuys.com estimates, pay in excess of 40 million a month towards agent commissions.

With the added advantage of Alan’s analytical mind and marketing savvy, his clients are averaging 6 weeks from posted sign to sale of the property, which makes for some very happy homeowners. ‘My goal is to have 300 people per year walking around Maple Ridge with a big smile on their face,’ he says.

PropertyGuys.com, Canada’s leading private sale real estate marketing company is revolutionizing the way people buy and sell real estate. With a professional private sale marketing solution designed to cut out the middleman’s high commission rates, PropertyGuys.com places the power of the sale - and cash - back into the hands of the homeowner, where it belongs. For a flat fee of $549, Alan provides all the resources, marketing materials and personal support the homeowner needs to sell privately in a thorough, professional, and organized manner, while saving thousands in the process.

‘We’re looking for more entrepreneurs like Alan Utting; people who recognize opportunity and see the need for a system like PropertyGuys.com,’ says Matt Eldridge, Director of National Franchise Sales. ‘Our coverage area is growing weekly and we have several great franchise opportunities, just like Maple Ridge, still available in British Columbia.’
