Syosset, N.Y - 1 September, 2003 -

Help-U-Sell Real Estate, the industry’s first, largest and fastest growing fee-for-service company, announced that it has broken the 400- franchise mark, reflecting a 38 percentage of growth during the eight-month period between January 1, 2003 and August 30, 2003. Rick O’Neil, president of Help-U-Sell Real Estate reports, "We’ve tripled the number of franchises sold during the same period last year and are positioned to achieve 50 percent growth by year-end 2003." "Our numbers clearly indicate that we are continually growing and capturing a share of the real estate market. Not only has our success demonstrated that consumers are quickly gravitating to the fee-for-service concept, but has finally proven that the fee-for-service model is a viable business strategy for real estate professionals," said O’Neil. Referring to the paradigm shift from a realtor-focused market to a more consumer-friendly industry, O’Neil attributes the company’s growth to recognizing the trend early on and capitalizing on its benefits. "The Help-U-Sell system is an innovative alternative to both traditional real estate sales where consumers are locked into a commission structure and the For Sale By Owner (FSBO) approach that leaves home sellers to their own devices," said O’Neil. "We give home sellers support choices from a menu of options," he said. Due to Help-U-Sell Real Estate’s rapid growth, they have been consistently ranked among the "Fastest Growing Franchises Across All Industries" by Entrepreneur magazine, with this year’s mention marking the fourth consecutive year (2000-2003) they have received the accolade. Help-U-Sell Real Estate, founded in 1976, was ahead of the curve in its fee-for-service approach to real estate sales. With corporate headquarters in Syosset, NY, Help-U-Sell Real Estate operates in 42 states nationwide.
