The real estate industry is broken – and PropertyGuys.Com Is Here To Fix It
The real estate industry is stuck in the past. While almost every other industry has been radically disrupted to become more consumer friendly, transparent, and efficient, the majority of homes are bought and sold in the same way that they were 100 years ago.
Why become a PropertyGuys.com Franchisee?
Join The Brand That’s Bringing Real Estate Into The Future
When was the last time you hailed a taxi instead of calling an Uber or went out to the store instead of pressing “add to cart” on Amazon prime? When was the last time you waited a full week to watch another episode of your favorite show?
In this era of major disruption and changing buying behavior, why are we still using agents to buy and sell houses? PropertyGuys.com is bringing the same level of disruption to the real estate industry.
Founded in 1998, PropertyGuys.com has emerged as the dominant brand for helping homeowners sell their homes on their own. With over 100 locations open across North America, PropertyGuys.com is radically changing the way real estate transactions are done by cutting out the listing agent entirely and putting all the power back into the hands of the homeowner – where it belongs.

Biography
With 13+ years experience in Sales and Management across North America, and France in my early career, I found my true calling in launching new ventures, creating systems & processes, and business development at large; I define myself as an entrepreneur more than a business owner: once the business is up and running, i feel the need to move on to the next project !
While I was managing a small crew selling home-automation across canada, I’ve decided to start a residential/commercial cleaning company in 2018 in eastern canada — because the demand was there — which then grew quickly in a couple cities across Canada and half a million in yearly revenue, while requiring very little of my involvement as the owner. In 2022 i decided to sell majority stacks in my corporation, in order to focus on my newest venture:
Franchise development in Massachusetts for the amazing company PropertyGuys.com, the largest private home sale network in North America. In a nutshell, I’m in charge of attracting and selecting the best talents for the 20+ Franchises available in eastern Massachusetts, and offering them my support to grow their franchise into a $1M+/year success.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Booze, Babe, and the Little Black Dress: How Innovators of the Roaring 20s Created the Consumer Revolution by Jason Voiovich
Booze, Babe, and the Little Black Dress: How Innovators of the Roaring 20s Created the Consumer Revolution by Jason Voiovich
Epic stories from the decade that taught Americans how to vote with their wallets.
“The more you read, the less you feel like a sheep in the thrall of Madison Avenue, and more like a tiny, private tycoon bending the market to your whims.”
What did Al Capone, Babe Ruth, and Coco Chanel all have in common? Al Capone understood that working men just wanted to enjoy a beer after a long day at work…and that working women wanted exactly the same thing. Babe Ruth understood that people wanted a show, not just a game…even if they would never see him play. Coco Chanel understood that women wanted freedom from tight corsets, flowing gowns, and complex updos…even if (especially if) that meant showing some skin. Each one understood what their customer wanted and found a way to give it to them.
We’ve heard amazing stories like these so often over the past 100 years that they’ve become…well, normal. But that’s only because no one alive today remembers what life was like before the so-called “Roaring 20s” – the most misunderstood decade in American history. Capone, Ruth, and Chanel were indeed unique, but they were not alone. Dozens of innovators used the same approach to systematically change every aspect of our daily lives in a 10-year orgy of societal transformation unknown before or since.
The 1920s ushered in nothing short of a Consumer Revolution – one just as transformative as the Industrial Revolution that preceded it or the Information Revolution that followed. Consumer culture not only changed what we buy and how we buy it, but more important than that, it changed how we see ourselves and our role in society. We’re more than healthcare patients, college students, social advocates, and citizens. We’re consumers…and we demand to be treated as such.
Our world – for good and for ill – would never be the same.
What you can expect in this book:
Fun, fast-paced, and fascinating stories about colorful characters of the 1920s.
Learn the origins of everything from frozen food to diaphragms.
Empower yourself to make better consumer choices…starting today.
This book will help you rediscover your power to change the world!
What others are saying…
He’s done it again. Fresh and unique insights often grow out of the intersection of two interesting topics. As with Marketer in Chief, Jason Voiovich demonstrates his mastery of U.S. History and marketing with the deeply researched but fun-to-read Booze, Babe & the Little Black Dress. Voiovich captures, with imagination and great story-telling, the impact of how the “Choice Era,” born in the Roaring Twenties, revolutionized American culture.
— Steve Wehrenberg, retired advertising executive and professor of strategic communication
Jason brings 1920s marketing back to life through stories told so compellingly that you want to marinate on each one. History has so much to teach us, and this book nails such a core period – while also being such a fun one to read.
— Todd Caponi, Author of The Transparency Sale and The Transparent Sales Leader
In “Booze, Babe, and the Little Black Dress,” Jason Voiovich glibly reveals the bones and origins of consumer culture. The colorful characters and funny anecdotes he uses to explain the tectonic plates of modern America isn’t merely fascinating—it’s also strangely empowering. The more you read, the less you feel like a sheep in the thrall of Madison Avenue, and more like a tiny, private tycoon bending the market to your whims.
– Andrew Heaton, comedian and podcaster
“He’s like if Will Rogers and Mr. Spock had a baby.”
About the Author
In a career that spans more than 25 years, Jason Voiovich has launched hundreds of new products – everything from medical devices, to virtual healthcare systems, to non-dairy consumer cheese, to next-generation alternatives to the dreaded “cone of shame” for pets, to sex aides for cows (really!). He’s a graduate of both the University of Wisconsin and the University of Minnesota, and he has completed post-graduate studies at the MIT Sloan School of Management. His formal training has been invaluable, but he credits his true success to growing up in a family of artists, immigrants, and entrepreneurs. They taught him how to carefully observe the world, see patterns before others notice them, and use those insights to create new innovations. History is Jason’s favorite way to observe the world. He believes the people from the past have plenty to teach us about the challenges and opportunities we face today.

Jonathan Niziol, Model, Real Estate Investor, Trainer, Athlete
Starting out on a chill Canadian farm, things took a gut-wrenching twist when Jonathan’s mom passed away on the day before his 21st birthday. His dream of becoming a lacrosse star got side-swiped by years of battling booze, hitting rock bottom at just 25. But that crazy wakeup call lit a fire, inspiring him to rebuild his body and mind while grappling with the loss of his mom. In a nod to his mom’s legacy, he took a detour into modeling – a world that threw him face-to-face with his inner demons. Jonathan’s quest for perfection led to body issues and a tough bout with food and an 8 year long eating disorder. On top of that, he faced a hellish sexual assault, lost close friends, and struggled hard with depression and anxiety. As a way to cope, he veered into multiple drug addictions. But in 2017, he made a gutsy move and dove into therapy, finally kicking the addiction that had him in a headlock for 15 long years. He is now 16.5 years sober from alcohol and 6.5 years sober from everything else. Living a balanced and happy life, which is why he is ready to share the story of his deepest secrets and shames with others. In hopes that he can help.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic-and What We Can Do About It by Jennifer Breheny Wallace
Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic-and What We Can Do About It by Jennifer Breheny Wallace
AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
The definitive book on the rise of “toxic achievement culture” overtaking our kids’ and parents’ lives, and a new framework for fighting back
In the ever more competitive race to secure the best possible future, today’s students face unprecedented pressure to succeed. They jam-pack their schedules with AP classes, fill every waking hour with resume-padding activities, and even sabotage relationships with friends to “get ahead.” Family incomes and schedules are stretched to the breaking point by tutoring fees and athletic schedules. Yet this drive to optimize performance has only resulted in skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and even self-harm in America’s highest achieving schools. Parents, educators, and community leaders are facing the same quandary: how can we teach our kids to strive towards excellence without crushing them?
In Never Enough, award-winning reporter Jennifer Breheny Wallace investigates the deep roots of toxic achievement culture, and finds out what we must do to fight back. Drawing on interviews with families, educators, and an original survey of nearly 6,000 parents, she exposes how the pressure to perform is not a matter of parental choice but baked in to our larger society and spurred by increasing income inequality and dwindling opportunities. As a result, children are increasingly absorbing the message that they have no value outside of their accomplishments, a message that is reinforced by the media and greater culture at large.
Through deep research and interviews with today’s leading child psychologists, Wallace shows what kids need from the adults in the room is not more pressure, but to feel like they matter, and have intrinsic self-worth not contingent upon external achievements. Parents and educators who adopt the language and values of mattering help children see themselves as a valuable contributor to a larger community. And in an ironic twist, kids who receive consistent feedback that they matter no matter what are more likely to have the resilience, self-confidence, and psychological security to thrive.
Packed with memorable stories and offering a powerful toolkit for positive change, Never Enough offers an urgent, humane view of the crisis plaguing today’s teens and a practical framework for how to help.

The Chris Voss Show Podcast – Brighter Days Ahead: Leaving Depression Behind Through Innovative New Treatments by Theodore A. Henderson
Brighter Days Ahead: Leaving Depression Behind Through Innovative New Treatments by Theodore A. Henderson
Depression is not what you think it is. Yes, it is a downward spiral of misery, self-doubt, angst, and apathy, but the cause is not a personality failing or a lack of serotonin. Have medications designed to change serotonin or dopamine levels in your brain helped you? Depression does, indeed, result from changes in your brain, but the nature of these transformations will shock and surprise you. This life-changing book will help you see depression in a new light…leading you to powerfully effective treatments.
Psychiatrist, brain scientist, and inventor, Dr. Theodore Henderson paints a real-world picture of depression with moving stories and full color illustrations that makes the science underlying this common mental health condition come to life. Drawing upon almost two decades of intensive personalized treatment of hundreds of patients, Dr. Henderson deftly combines brain science with evocative case histories to explains exactly how the brain changes as a result of depression and how less well-known contemporary treatments for it work to reverse these changes. Gone are the chemical imbalance theories. Gone are the pull-yourself-up-by-the-bootstraps admonishments.
Using the example of the powerful antidepressant effects of ketamine infusion therapy as a window into understanding not only what depression does to the brain, but how neuroplasticity can reverse it, often permanently, Dr. Henderson offers the reader even more information about this complex condition. He introduces other novel and powerful treatments for depression, as well as addressing childhood trauma, brain injury, inflammation, and the importance of mindfulness. In this deeply informed book, Dr. Henderson guides the reader to understanding the brain, depression, and effective solutions in a sometimes poignant, sometimes gritty, no-holds barred, real-world look at depression and recovery.
