October will be a busy month for Help-U-Sell Real Estate! Before our fourth annual Success Summit in mid-October, we’ll make an appearance at the CALIFORNIA REALTOR® EXPO 2014 in Anaheim.
If you plan to attend the expo, which takes place Oct. 7-9, stop by booth #112 and visit Ron McCoy, our vice president of business development. He would love to see our franchisees and meet brokers who are interested in learning about Help-U-Sell Real Estate.
In addition to the more than 200 exhibitors, there will be 40 sessions on everything from the latest in legal real estate to working with international investors. Members of the California Association of REALTORS can attend all three days for free, but you have to register.
Help-U-Sell Options Unlimited‘s broker/owners Brenda and Robert Fischer love giving back to their community, and one of their favorite traditions is to march in the annual Terre Haute Labor Day parade. One of 48 entrants in the parade, the Fischers’ “Army of Red” consisted of more than 40 people all dressed in red Help-U-Sell Real Estate T-shirts. Family, friends, and past clients all handed out more than 2,500 informational cards explaining how Help-U-Sell Options Unlimited helps sellers save money. Two red trucks and five wagons/strollers with Help-U-Sell Real Estate signs accompanied the walkers, who carried an eight-foot banner.
“It was a lot of fun,” says Brenda Fischer. “We handed out over 6,600 pieces of candy.” The Labor Day parade is a perfect fit for Help-U-Sell Options Unlimited because “We want to support the ‘Labor Force’ and to give them an alternative to the ‘normal’ 6 to 9 percent real estate commission, in order for them to sell their homes,” she says.
