PropertyGuys.com a Perfect Fit for Albertan Franchisee

From savvy seller to franchise partner and now franchisee, TJ Altman, expands his role within the company by taking over the Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan & St. Albert, AB territories

For Immediate Release: July 2, 2020

Nearly twenty years ago, TJ Altman received a call from his uncle to talk about an up-and-coming company called PropertyGuys.com. They chatted about the evolution of real estate and the brand’s perfect fit into the sizeable gap created by inflated commission fees and the rise of technology. They even went so far as to discuss the possibility of Altman opting in to a franchise for himself.

Fast forward to recent times and PropertyGuys.com’s newest franchisee will tell you all about one of the most satisfying phone calls he has ever been able to make. It’s the one where he tells his uncle that he finally bought that franchise.

TJ Altman is the proud new owner of the Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, and St. Albert, AB territories with PropertyGuys.com. Born and raised in Saskatchewan, TJ has spent his entire adult life in Alberta, where he has acquired a strong management background in the automotive and financial industries, as well as four years on the frontline as a licensed agent. Altman discusses his time spent on the traditional side of real estate and indicates that it only helped to “push me closer to the PropertyGuys.com model.” He reflects on feelings of discomfort brought on as a result of having to pose as the expert of someone else’s home and engage in accepted yet unbalanced practices such as double-ending deals. However, it was in these areas of disconnect within the industry that he easily found loud and clear answers for himself with PropertyGuys.com."

In a brand experience that he calls “the best of both worlds”, Altman shares that he has been able to couple his love for helping people and providing top-notch customer service with his true belief that a homeowner is the most qualified person to sell their own home. In fact, as a PropertyGuys.com seller himself, Altman has been able to extend beyond the expected and relate to homeowners on both a personal and professional level. He also brings to the table nearly a year of invaluable learning from a team-up with an award-winning franchise. In the Fall of 2019, Altman joined Maureen and Dwight Mushtaler in a partnership arrangement within their territory of Lloydminster & The Battlefords. He describes his experience with the Mushtalers as, “hooking himself to a shooting star” and fondly speaks of the rapid growth and appetite for private sale real estate that he has felt in the area as a result of their work. But as a true PropertyGuys.com franchisee understands, change is constant and adaptation is expected.

Altman saw the opportunity for continued expansion of the brand in Alberta and therefore decided to make the leap into full franchise ownership— during a global pandemic at that! He has jumped in with both feet and eagerly discusses his goals for the Sherwood Park, Fort Saskatchewan, and St. Albert areas. Altman states that his primary and immediate focus is growing a team and taking a true “boots to the ground” approach to marketing and increasing brand awareness. With his passion and love for the company shining in everything that he does, Altman is more than ready to get started and is fully supported by his wife, Georgina in this new adventure. And it’s all happening almost two decades after the first hint that this is exactly where he’s meant to be.
