PHS Home Services Introduces the "Designed to Sell" Inspection & Evaluation Program, Which Includes Financing Improvements Needed to Increase the Value and Shorten the Time to Sell Homes


CINCINNATI, OH--(MARKET WIRE)--Oct 10, 2006 -- Packaged Home Solutions, Inc. (Other OTC:PKGH.PK - News) www.packagedhomesolutions.com -- ("PHS" or "The Company"), which announced last week its entry into the public market, is today announcing that it has formed PHS Home Services, Inc. (www.PHSHomeServices.com) as a subsidiary. This subsidiary has introduced an innovative "Designed to Sell" (DTS) package of services for selling homeowners to increase the value on sale and time to sell their homes.

PHS Home Services has completed a 6-month test market on a package of services targeted to assist homeowners to properly prepare their homes to sell faster and at a higher price based on the current soft market conditions. Today, PHS Home Services is unveiling its "Designed to Sell" (DTS) Inspection & Consultation Services to professional Real Estate Agents, Brokers and the For Sale by Owner (FSBO) community. The "Designed to Sell" Inspection & Consultation Service is FREE to qualifying homeowners. However, the innovative DTS package of services generates substantial fees to PHS Home Services when the homeowner implements the recommendations targeted to sell the home faster and for more money. In addition, a significant number of kitchen & bath updates will be generated for Packaged Home Solutions' Interior division, since the remodeling of kitchens and baths have historically proven to be the best improvements to help sell a house faster and create a higher resale value.

The new subsidiary associates itself with the leading home inspection companies in each market, as well as the leading real estate brokerage firms in order to offer a complete free DTS home analysis and evaluation. The DTS includes a pre sale home inspection to a selling homeowner as a prelude to marketing their home. Since normally, only a buyer orders a home inspection when the house is under contract, the free home inspection for the seller, prior to contract, is a quantum leap in services provided to homeowners. Furthermore, the Designed to Sell package of services is transportable to every market that PHS expands into -- and offers a value added service to generate core business for PHS -- with virtually no competition.

Brad Cousino, President of PHS Home Services Inc., stated: "When we started Packaged Home Solutions three years ago, our desire was not only to be the first national home improvement services company, but also to introduce totally unique approaches to the market. This is the first such program we are announcing, but it certainly will not be the last. There is a void in the market, which is the preparation of a home for sale, as opposed to reacting to a home inspection report commissioned by the buyer. In a soft real estate market, which we are presently in, our DTS program will inform each selling homeowner what they must do to make sure that their house sells at the highest value and in the shortest period of time. The DTS program also creates a marketing relationship in each market with seasoned home inspectors, real estate brokers and quality preferred service providers who provide repairs and improvements that are beyond the scope of the services provided by PHS. The DTS package of services allows us to penetrate each new market quicker and more effectively, which is vitally important to us, as we expand into 30 markets."

The Designed to Sell package of services is comprised of the following components:

-- Professional Home Inspection Companies: PHS Home Services interviews
and then contracts with experienced, local home inspection companies in
each market. Each inspection company signs a marketing agreement to
provide Pre Sale Home Inspections, a detailed written report and
consultative service on behalf of PHS Home Services. The 10 to 25 page
written report & evaluation includes professional recommendations, which if
implemented, would position a home to sell faster and at a higher price
resulting in a net gain to the homeowner.

-- Real Estate Professionals (Real Estate Agents / Brokerage Houses):
Meetings are set with local real estate agents to explain the "Designed to
Sell" program. The real estate agents recognize the value of the Designed
to Sell Inspections & Evaluations (DTS) especially now that it is a
"buyers" market.

-- Zero "Out-of-Pocket" Financing Program Provided: Homeowners who have
positive equity qualify to have the recommended DTS improvements made on
their home and not pay anything until the home sells. If the house does not
sell in the 120 to 180 day period after the improvements have been
completed, the loan is then amortized over three to five years.

-- Preferred Service Providers: 98% of buyers' home inspections come back
with various items that need to be corrected. PHS Home Services, with the
assistance of local home inspectors, assembles a "swat team" of local
Preferred Service Providers (PSPs) so that homeowners have a list of PSPs
to choose from to assist in getting their houses ready to sell. PSPs cover
the following categories; Roof, Chimney & Brick Repair, Gutters, Windows &
Siding, Entry Doors, Landscaping, Electricians, Plumbers, HVAC, Handymen,
Foundations, Carpet, Flooring, etc. The PSP pays a Referral Marketing Fee
to PHS Home Services, thereby generating additional bottom line income for
PHS. This mutual relationship generates "cross marketing" opportunities
with PSPs who have customers that want kitchen & bathroom remodeling work.

-- Packaged Home Solutions Kitchen & Bath: A targeted "client" base for
Packaged Home Solutions' concept is "remove & replace" kitchens and baths
in older homes that were built prior to 1995 with a value of greater than
$100,000. The ultimate reason the "Designed to Sell" package of services
was created because it targets an ideal customer base for PHS. PHS directly
benefits when the DTS program involves a home that is in good condition,
but due to age of the home, has dated kitchen or bathrooms. It is proven
that a new kitchen or bathroom will help sell a home better than any other
improvement -- and often get 100% of the money back. These demographics
also represent tens of thousands of homes that are either on the market, or
soon to be on the market to be sold.

-- Professional Home Staging Option: If the recommended Designed to Sell
work is completed by PHS Home Services Preferred Service Providers or
Packaged Home Solutions, then PHS Home Services will provide a professional
home stager that will make final preparations to prepare the home for the
sale process.
