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.
Since 1984, Homeowners Concept program has proved overwhelmingly successful. We have SOLD thousands of properties (23,000+) and SAVED sellers well over $73,000,000 in commissions! We have accomplished this by providing MAXIMUM marketing (to get HIGHEST sales price) AND having highly skilled, full time, seasoned agents who are truly dedicated to real estate and assisting sellers and buyers achieve their goals. We are also the ONLY large real estate company to have had an A+ rating with BBB for 31+ years!
