About Help-U-Sell Real Estate

Help-U-Sell® Real Estate, based in Sarasota, FL, is now in its 41st year in business. Its business model was the pioneer for providing an alternative to the dated commission structure. The franchisor has offices operating in 20 states and the District of Columbia and recently was named a top franchise by Franchise Business Review.

Sarasota, Fla. (June 6, 2017) – As the real estate market tightens up in many areas across the country, more realtors are looking for a competitive edge in the field. Many are making their way to Help-U-Sell Real Estate, which has led to a 20% growth of new franchise offices since the last quarter of 2016.

To shed some light on the market shift back to the Help-U-Sell model, John Powell, Chief Development Officer, and Robert Stevens, Chief Operating Officer, recently sat down with Maria Patterson, Executive Editor of RISMedia, to share some unique insights on the success and sustainability of the 41-year old company.

Among the thoughts shared by John Powell, “Many brokers are discounting, which lowers their bottom-line profit. They need to be able to increase profitability. We, on the other hand, have a proven, 41-year system, which is built around our fee structure. Brokers save the consumer thousands of dollars, and become more profitable.”

Added Robert Stevens, on the topic of marketing, “You can’t always be looking for that silver bullet, because there is no silver bullet. You need to use a series of marketing initiatives, not just one thing. When we ask people how they heard about Help-U-Sell, they always tell us, “We see you everywhere.”

Help-U-Sell Real Estate offices do not charge a traditional percentage-based commission, but rather a low set fee for services. Nationwide in 2015, the company’s franchise offices saved their sellers nearly $20 million* in commissions. *Savings are compared to a 6 percent commission.

About Help-U-Sell Real Estate

Created 41 years ago, the Help-U-Sell Real Estate model was the pioneer for providing an alternative to the dated commission structure, something that had gone uncontested for years in a market overrun by a monopoly of traditional brokerage firms. Help-U-Sell Real Estate forged a revolution in the real estate industry by proactively challenging the commission structure, and has continued to perfect its full-service, set-fee model today.

Roberta Pickens, who recently rejoined Help-U-Sell Real Estate with a franchise office on the Treasure Coast in Hobe Sound, visited the Help-U-Sell headquarters this week in Sarasota with a cool ride that was easy on the eyes.

Roberta had the idea to convert her camper into a billboard for her brand new office and brought it by for us to check out. “I wanted to weave the message of Help-U-Sell savings into the community where I do business,” Roberta explained. “It targets my specific audience and leaves a big impression.”

Our Chief Development Officer, John Powell (L) and Director of Franchise Sales, Dave Patterson (R), took a moment to join Ms. Pickens and check out the work.
