COMMENTS: THIS VANCOUVER ISLAND INTEGRATED ONLINE/OFFLINE MAGAZINE FRANCHISE IS PART OF A WELL ESTABLISHED 35+ YEAR OLD NORTH AMERICAN BRAND THAT WAS VOTED THE #3 ADVERTISING FRANCHISE ACROSS NORTH AMERICA IN 2008.

THE MARKETING SYSTEM PROVIDES SUCH A RICH, INTEGRATED MARKETING PROGRAM TO REALTORS AND THE REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY, THAT ADVERTISERS RARELY OPT OUT (EVEN IN THE CURRENT MARKET).

THE MAGAZINE PUBLISHES 13-TIMES PER YEAR (EVERY 4 WEEKS A NEW ISSUE HITS THE MARKET) AND IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED ACROSS VANCOUVER ISLAND. ONLINE, THIS FRANCHISE AUTOMATICALLY SYNDICATES CLIENT’S LISTINGS TO MASSIVE WEB PARTNERS ACROSS THE WORLD.

NOW IN ITS THIRD YEAR, WITH THE MARKET RECOVERING, THE OLYMPICS ON THE WAY AND BABY BOOMERS SET TO RETIRE AND WITH VANCOUVER ISLAND AS A MOST DESIRABLE DESTINATION, THE INCREASED CASH FLOW OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEAR FUTURE OF THIS BUSINESS IS A MASSIVE. THE FINANCIAL OPPORTUNITY IS IDEAL FOR SOMEONE WITH VISION TO TAKE ON THIS VERY PROFITABLE OPPORTUNITY NOW AND TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
