Looking Back: Buyer Consultant Training

As Help-U-Sell Real Estate approaches 40 years in existence, we are having fun looking back on how far we’ve come, yet how much has remained the same (in a good way!).

The only thing that has changed in the decade since franchisees Jack Bailey (Help-U-Sell Greensboro) and John Powell (Help-U-Sell Galleria Realty) recorded a demonstration of Jack’s buyer consultation is their hair! The advice and Jack’s expertise when it comes to working with buyers have not only stood the test of time, but have improved.

Take a look at this retro video that demonstrates how Help-U-Sell Real Estate agents consult rather than sell to their buyer clients.

This spring, Jack will start his first 10-week buyer consultant training series for Help-U-Sell Real Estate brokers and agents. More information on this long-anticipated program will be revealed soon.

And, we’ve improved on our ranking to finish fourth among all real estate franchise companies whose franchisees were surveyed.

FBR50 Top Franchises 2015
For the fourth year in a row, Help-U-Sell Real Estate has been named a top franchisee by Franchise Business Review.

In response to the award, Ron McCoy, our vice president of business development, said: “I couldn’t be more proud of our achievement in ranking among the top five in the real estate category this year. Sure, we’ve got some of the best tools, systems, and technology in the industry, but this honor is more about our people.”

We are listed under the Real Estate header in the publication “Today’s Top Franchises” on page 13.

New Year, New Markets

Whether you are planning to expand into new markets this year or you’re a new office, we have created a new postcard for you to announce your debut in an area. The “Now in Your Neighborhood” design is available through our print vendor Excel Printing & Mailing.

The reverse side of the postcard explains how Help-U-Sell Real Estate helps sellers and contains a testimonial.

The new postcard is available as an EDDM (every door direct mail) item, so you can target a specific area to receive the mailing. Excel Printing & Mailing has set up a co-op for Help-U-Sell Real Estate franchisees to enable a lower cost per piece. The postcards, with postage and shipping, are only $0.28 each.

Once you’ve logged into Excel’s site, you will click on Office Co-Op to see all six of the available designs, customize them, and place your order. The co-op ends Mon., Jan. 19.

Be sure to order enough postcards for the next three months. The next co-op for EDDMs will start in April.

What We’re Thankful for in 2014

Movement Mortgage and Help-U-Sell Real Estate
Movement Mortgage representatives mingle with franchisees at a 2014 Success Summit reception.

It’s becoming an annual tradition to recount what has made us grateful in the past 12 months during Thanksgiving week. Many of the items on our list this year remain the same as last year, and we couldn’t be happier that we can repeat ourselves. It was another stellar year for Help-U-Sell Real Estate, and our fabulous franchisees had a great deal to do with our continued success, as always.

What we’re thankful for in 2014:

    * Our enthusiastic new franchisees! We are so glad they have joined the Help-U-Sell Real Estate family, and we look forward to watching them develop their businesses into dominant brokerages.
    * Our veteran franchisees! They are so willing to share their expertise with their fellow family members and have persevered through the tough times to see incredible growth network-wide this past year. We see more on the horizon for 2015.
    * The great participation at the Success Summit again and, more importantly, the genuine fellowship and valuable learning that happened at this and at every Summit.
    * Our new partnership with Movement Mortgage. Their values align so well with ours, and their unique offerings will provide another way for us to help our clients with their real estate transactions.
    * Winning Franchise Business Review’s Franchisee Satisfaction Award for the fourth year in a row. We are humbled by and appreciative of our franchisees’ votes of confidence.

Tell us what has inspired you to give thanks this year.
