PropertyGuys.com is a simple and effective method to sell your home. The PropertyGuys.com team assisted us throughout the process and we were able to save thousands of dollars on the sale. We were provided with all of the tools, materials and information and the costs were minimal. We did not have to deal with the tactics and pressures of having a real estate agent and were able to set our own schedule. We have also been actively searching for PropertyGuys.com listings to buy our new home while not involving an agent. This means that we will both realize the savings that would have previously gone to the real estate firms. We would never use any other method to sell our home in the future. |

This is the second house that I have sold through PropertyGuys.com and I am a big fan. I believe that your reputation, the signage and our Open Houses contributed to our success. The experience of selling privately in both my cases was a very good experience. Our Open Houses were well advertised through your website and were well attended. The visitors were mostly aware of PropertyGuys.com and many commented that the website is very user friendly. The Offer Maker tool worked well and the buyer took this information to his lawyer and had no problem drawing up the offer. I had a few of the neighbours and a couple that was driving by ask me about PropertyGuys.com, as they were thinking of selling. I told them, this is the best way to go and it is easy to do as the customer service at PropertyGuys.com is excellent. |

“The whole experience with PropertyGuys.com was great, from the set up of having my home put on the market to the end being sold, all went smoothly. My representative was awesome and helped me out in any way he could. We had our home on the market for 2 months, but it all paid off in the end saving money. I would definitely use PropertyGuys.com in the future.” Thanks Anja Booker |

No sooner were the signs up on our property (one week) and the house was Sold! Remarkable! The information package was also very handy to have with the steps to take when selling your home. I also found the website extremely helpful and user friendly. Everytime I had a question or needed something done, PropertyGuys.com were there for me. I am extremely pleased with their services (especially John & Carol) and will enjoy my thousands of dollars saved. Thank You so much PropertyGuys.com! |

We started out with PropertyGuys.com. After a month we second-guessed our decision and signed with an agent. But we were not successful with our agent and decided to switch back to PropertyGuys.com. We worked at it ourselves, sold our home and we couldn’t be happier. The team at PropertyGuys.com was supportive throughout the entire process. |

This is one of the smartest choices I have ever made. There is no one better suited to sell your house than yourself. It also has the built in feature of being "By Appointment Only" as you decide when to show your house and when it's not convenient. Enlist a lawyer early to have for legal advice once an offer is received. I saved over $16,000.00 in real estate fees by resisting the efforts of a number of agents who call and try to take 2.5% out of you when they call on behalf of a client. Be strong; this system works and is the best company to utilize to sell your property. I would like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to all the people at PropertyGuys.com that assisted me. Special thanks to Ken, Jade and Lee Anna; without your help and positive attitude I may have slipped over to the "dark side" and thrown a lot of money away. Sincerely John Saunders |

It is our pleasure to share a positive experience following our recent listing with PropertyGuys.com. One month after listing our Stouffville home with PropertyGuys.com we sold at full list price! Ken, while being always helpful, projected a positive and professional attitude throughout the entire process. All of our concerns were quickly put to rest at the beginning, and we proceeded with confidence and ease. At no time did we feel we would not succeed. Ken represented our best interests throughout. The entire experience has resulted in our sincere recommendation of selling your own home. You can do it !! Helen & John Jay |

We have had a great experience with Property Guys! A special thanks goes out to John Birkenhead, as he displayed fantastic customer service and had great knowledge in the industry to help guide us through the process. As most people do, we were unsure and very nervous about listing ourselves, but John and his team made it very easy and walked us through step by step. Every time I called with a question, concern or need, John was right there on my doorstep to help out. I was having an open house and was a couple signs short, so John drove back early from St Catherine’s to make sure I had the signs up before my open house. It is this kind of dedication that separates good companies from bad companies! It is time we start to understand the housing industry in more detail, as there is a lot of money to be saved. In this economy today, people need all the money they can get and this is a great way to put some of your hard earned money back in your pocket! We, as sellers, have access to everything we need to sell or purchase real estate and Property Guys puts it all together and provides you the tools and knowledge to be successful! I am a business owner myself, so I can recognize a good product when I see it! I would recommend Property Guys to anyone who is thinking of selling privately, as they have great Brand Recognition now and the process and people are very knowledgeable and friendly to work with. Thanks again John!! Best Regards, Chris & Lina Pearcey |
Three Keys to Selling Your Home
Regardless of the how you choose to sell your house, there are three important considerations; product, price and exposure. Have all three properly aligned and the likelihood of a successful sale increase dramatically:
Product
This refers to the house itself. It also takes into account its location. How old is the property? Is it modern? Does it have features that are considered desirable for today's buyer? Is it in a great neighborhood? Close to amenities?
For the most part, home sellers have only so much control over these elements. Yes, as a home owner, you could update paint, floors and décor, but there is little you can do about the neighborhood and part of town you live in. The most important take away is understanding your house as it compares and shows to other homes for sale in your area.
Price
One of the most important elements to selling a home is price. You must make sure the home is priced well. The most common way for self-sellers to hurt themselves is by setting either unreasonably high or absurdly low asking prices.
There are a couple approaches to setting your price. First, you can completely do it on your own by looking at similar homes in your area and setting your price accordingly. It's important to consider things like age, size, style, features, street, etc. as you gauge and set your asking price. Second, if you are less comfortable doing it yourself, you can always get the services of an appraiser to help you identify your price. For a few hundred dollars, you can rely on a local expert to help you come up with a price for your home.
Price is directly proportional to time on market. Homes priced under market are likely to move faster than average. Homes priced above market are likely to move slower. Understanding this relationship is an essential element to setting expectations in the private sale process.
Exposure
The final element to selling your home is exposure. Buyers need to know your house is for sale. We know that over 80% of all buyers begin their search online so a strong web presence is important. Our website not only gets your property in front of buyers, it also gives buyers all the information they want; address, price, photos, virtual tours, notification tools, offer maker, etc.
We also have other options for getting your property seen on the web. We can help you get on multiple listing sites, including the one that agents use. We have a broker partner that can help you get on the agent website.
Exposure also happens with the sign on the front lawn. Buyers still drive around neighborhoods they'd like to live in and see what's available. A professional, well branded sign that gets noticed by buyers is an essential element exposure. Our round sign stands out from all the rest. We also provide voice messages of our listings through a toll-free number, text messages of our listing via our text to PRICE feature and smartphone access via our mobile apps.
The final element to exposure is local advertising which we offer through PrintPlus© Advantage.
We provide all these tools so you don't have to spend the money on commission. We want you to sell your house successfully on your own, so that you can keep the commission.
