2% Realty, a market changing real estate � rm named by PROFIT Magazine as the 75th of 500 fastest growing Canadian companies, has announced its arrival into Vancouver Island north of Victoria. Corey O’Neil, owner of 2% Realty Full Service Inc., plans to use the Comox Valley Spring Home Expo as a springboard for helping real estate buyers, sellers and REALTOR’s understand how they can have both superior marketing strategies and pay only a 2% commission fee that includes the selling and listing of a property.

2% Realty has made waves in the Canadian real estate industry by signi� cantly reducing the amount of commission sellers pay with a successful sale when compared to the 7/3 traditional

REALTOR’s commission model. The result bene� ts both real estate sellers, buyers and realtors by costing less, increasing customer satisfaction, and spreading positive word of mouth. The company also promises an enhanced marketing program that includes full colour professionally designed brochures, improved signs with solar light, brochure box, and QR Code, comprehensive online strategies, video, high-quality photos, and more. It’s tag line “Pay Less. Get More.” sums up their REALTOR’s and company values.

When asked about his reasons for moving to Vancouver Island, proprietor and REALTOR® Corey O’Neil replied, “I have been looking for years for a business that excited me and would allow me

to live in what I consider to be the best place in Canada. As soon as I saw the 2% Realty model, I knew it was a winner. The client wins because they pay less and get more than what is typically o� ered by competitors, 2% REALTOR®’s win because they complete more deals with greater ease and happier clients.2% Realty will be at the Comox Valley Spring Home Expo, which runs April 11-13 at the Comox Valley Sports Centre, located at 3001 Vanier Drive in Courtenay.

To learn more about 2% Realty or the company’s value added services, realtor exclusive territory openings and more, visit:www.2PercentFullService.com.      

About Corey O’Neil: Corey is a licensed REALTOR® and has been selling real

estate for over 10 years. During that time he has personally sold more than 30 million dollars in properties and was in command of the sales and marketing for four separate real estate development companies one of which is publicly traded. “I saw an incredible opportunity with 2% Realty to o� er private home sellers the combination of superior marketing solutions used by real estate developers with REALTOR® services and provide them both at a fair price.” Corey
