Overview
Help-U-Sell Real Estate had the foresight 30 years ago to invent that
alternative. Our system is not a discounted traditional model. It is a
set-fee business model in which payment for services is commensurate
with the work performed by the office — not the sale price of the
house. Consumers respond to us because they can choose their level of
involvement from a full menu of services, which saves them money! And
they trust in our expert knowledge. Franchisees respond to our real
estate leadership, business and marketing resources, and ongoing
support. Both appreciate our philosophy of openness, honesty and
passion for what we do.
Products & Services
SEASONED STRATEGIES. SOUND RESULTS.
Help-U-Sell® Real Estate is a marketing-driven system. Our franchisees don't rely on large staffs of agents to bring leads into the office. Instead, they rely on a proven marketing plan that attracts leads directly to their offices. It's that simple.
As a franchisee, Help-U-Sell Real Estate will provide you with a cost-effective marketing program that has been refined over the past 30 years. This program lets you spend less time developing your business and more time running it.
Understanding Today's Real Estate Consumer
According to NAR, most buyers and sellers are looking for alternatives to the traditionally commissioned agent. And a recent Gomez report found that 75% of buyers and sellers who use the Internet plan to control at least 80% of their next transaction. That spells pressure for the traditional real estate agent. The convergence of those two trends sets the stage perfectly for the Help-U-Sell set-fee system! Since 1976, Help-U-Sell Real Estate has championed the concept of menu-driven services and set fees. Building off of this foundation, we then combine a sound understanding of direct response advertising and real estate experience into an in-depth marketing program that compels buyers and sellers to contact your office.

Training & Support
One of the reasons for our growth is the level of support we provide
our franchise owners. As an organization, we have recruited an
experienced regional support network to ensure that our offices have
the knowledge, tools and training to be effective in their markets.
Broker-centric Business Model
We've built our business model around two key people: the consumer and the broker. We've streamlined the traditional real estate office model so you won't find cubicles filled with agents and all the accompanying costs of that structure. What you will find is a capable, efficient support team working under the broker's direction to complete every aspect of a sale or purchase.
In-depth Training
Your training begins with the intensive Help-U-Sell® University program. You will learn how to market your business successfully and manage your office efficiently. We will train you on how to evaluate your market and your operations on an ongoing basis. You'll also study our outstanding customer relations program — one of the best in the industry!
Once completed, you'll leave the workshop with a detailed business plan and targeted market analysis complete with manuals and guides for reference. Another resource we give you is The Post University Office System, a 10-module total office management and coaching system. “A sequel” to Help-U-Sell University, this system provides additional information and training that guides you through your first year of business.
Your Regional Director is Your Personal Resource
As a member of the Help-U-Sell Real Estate family, we will give you access to powerful business development tools. But, without question, your ultimate resource will be your regional director. Our regional directors are 100% committed to helping you establish and grow your business. Their ongoing coaching is key. Their experience in traditional real estate is invaluable.
