A higher percentage of Manitobans have
sold their homes privately in 2002 than
ever before. Soon, that kind of movement
toward private sale will be a Canada-wide
phenomenon.

The Winnipeg Real Estate Board’s listing service system continues its six-year downward spiral, while ComFree Private Sales continues its growth.

Statistics provided by the board and by
ComFree for the first 10 months of this year reveal that private sale listings increased by 40 per cent while homes available on the agents' listing service fell by 11 per cent.

Total real estate commission saved by people selling privately with ComFree now exceeds $19 million. That is money that formerly went into agents’ pockets that now stays with the homesellers.

Equity preservation is what ComFree and private sale are all about.

Homeowners in the rest of Canada also want access to the only private sale system that has ever taken an appreciable amount of marketshare
away from the agents' listing service. They, too, want to keep the money they’ve invested in their home when they sell.

That’s why ComFree has begun an expansion program that will see offices opened in every major centre in Canada. We’re growing because there’s strong public demand for a successful alternative to the agents’ expensive commission
system.

With offices already in Winnipeg and
Brandon, ComFree established an Edmonton operation this fall.

In early 2003, offices will also open in
Calgary and Vancouver. And there is a strong possibility that Vancouver Island will be added to the ComFree family before the end of 2003.

Discussions are already underway to move
ComFree east into major Ontario markets.
Within the next few years, ComFree will extend across Canada, with all homes listed with each regional office available for viewing on our net site, www.comfree.ca. A nation-wide private
sale market will be a reality.

If ComFree can save Manitobans $19 million in commissions, think how much we can save all Canadians.
