CASTLE ROCK, Colo., Jan. 04 /PRNewswire/ --

CASTLE ROCK, Colo., Jan. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Help-U-Sell Real Estate rings in the New Year on a high note. The nation's top set-fee real estate company has earned a top 50 ranking in Entrepreneur Magazine's "Franchise 500" list. This marks the second consecutive year the company has been named as a top 50 franchise.

Help-U-Sell Real Estate has also been named to the publication's list of fastest growing franchises for the sixth straight year. Rounding out the listings is a third consecutive ranking in the list of "America's Top Global Franchises."

"With over 800 independently owned and operated offices across the country, it is apparent that both the industry and consumers have a growing understanding of the value of the set-fee concept. This year marks our 30th anniversary and it is gratifying to see how far we've come," says Bradley J. Crandall, chairman of the Help-U-Sell Real Estate board of directors.

With a goal of 1800 franchises by 2008, the company has taken strategic steps to support even greater growth. Corporate headquarters were expanded and a highly select board of directors was appointed, each member of the board bringing significant strength and expertise in emerging companies.

The company also launched an aggressive Internet advertising campaign that has succeeded in driving millions of consumers to the web site, which now boasts more page views than virtually any other industry site. Crandall says, "Our goal is to be as consumer-friendly in every service area as possible, beginning with our web site which is often the first contact that a consumer has with us."

Help-U-Sell Real Estate offers home sellers a set-fee alternative to paying the traditional commission. Not a discounter, Help-U-Sell differs from traditional brokers not in the level of services provided by its brokers throughout the country, but in the dollar amount that the consumer pays for those services.
