Envirian Announces New Real Estate Franchise in Texas

Reston, VA - February 1, 2006 Envirian, a technology-based provider of residential real estate services to residential buyers and sellers, today announced the opening of its first franchise in Texas.

Envirian of Killeen, located at 451 E. Central Texas Expressway, Suite B, Harke Heights, Texas 76548 opened for business on December 1.

This newest franchise joins those already in operation in Arizona, Maryland, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C., adding up to a roster of 10 highly experienced brokers and over 200 agents.

"We’re excited to welcome our newest Envirian franchisees to the family," said CEO Dr. Lee Konowe. "Clearly the Envirian model, which marries technological innovation with a renewed focus on teamwork and customer satisfaction, is striking a chord among residential real estate professionals."

Envirian’s proprietary technology solutions were designed for maximum interoperability and benefit, enabling brokers and agents to conduct more business, communicate with clients and each other, as well as manage the process of real estate sales. Services include top position lead procurement, near instantaneous lead delivery to transaction management, and after-sale client services.

"The opening of Envirian's first Texas franchise now gives us a north/south reach from the Canadian border to that of Mexico," said Dean Wood, president and CFO. He also added, "The rapid growth of the franchise and multiple territory ownership by most franchisees will likely lead to a rapid decline in available territories."

"As Envirian's model provides exclusive protected territories there is only some 1,150 or so possible territories available in the entire United States," Dean Wood pointed out.
