Don Taylor founded Help-U-Sell as the original fee-for-service real estate company. Instead of charging a percentage commission for a transaction, Help U-Sell offers a menu of services to home sellers and lets them choose services that fit their needs.
Next Generation Realty was founded in 1994 by Tom Franklin and Rob Doheny. Our philosophy is based on quality service at an affordable price. We believe that all real estate can be sold, and that by being our partner, it can be sold for one low flat fee. It was this belief that lead us to develop an alternative program that partners us with the seller in the marketing of their home. Our company operates around 3 Basic Principles:
One Low Fee, on any priced home, paid at closing with no upfront fees. Our program presented in writing with guaranteed advertising. You can cancel at any time with no cost, no hassle.
Since our clients show their own home, our agents list and sell more homes!
