CASTLE ROCK, CO - 22 December, 2004 -

Help-U-Sell Real Estate jumped from the top 100 to the top 50 in the 26th Annual Franchise 500 Survey in Entrepreneur Magazine. Help-U-Sell climbed from the 98th position in 2004 to 44th in 2005. The report places Help-U-Sell as the leader in alternative real estate models. It is no surprise the consumer friendly company made such a giant leap. Interim CEO Tom Hurford, says “We have opened an average of one franchise every 48 hours throughout 2004 and are on pace to open our 700th franchise by year end.” Hurford believes that the company is opening offices so rapidly because it is the right product for today’s informed consumer. “Consumers today know what they want and they want to take part in the process, to be face to face with potential buyers. Their needs match perfectly with the Help-U-Sell way of doing business.” Since 1999, the company has seen an overall growth of 700%, making it the fastest growing real estate franchise in the country. The Help-U-Sell model has been revolutionizing the real estate industry since its inception in the late 70s. According to Board Chairman Bradley Crandall, “We have grown so rapidly over the past few years because consumers and the industry alike have finally recognized the value of our business model.” “Our model of set fees offers an alternative to consumers. Sellers no longer have to pay the traditional six percent commission and they’re empowered throughout the entire transaction. Our goal has been to save sellers thousands of dollars while delivering service,” notes Crandall. He believes that alternative models are no longer a wave of the future. They are the present and will continue to grow. Crandall says, “We are again pleased not only to be ranked in the top 100 in the survey but to have climbed to the top 50 with some of the leaders across all industries.” Help-U-Sell Real Estate is the first and largest fee-for-service company in the industry. The company has been named by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the “Fastest Growing Franchises” for four consecutive years and is now ranked in Entrepreneur’s annual “Top 500 Franchises Report” for the sixth straight year.
