"Increasing numbers of our sellers and franchise owners are telling us what we've already known - that we've become an incredible force in the industry," LaMeres-Pomin and Martin said.

During 2004, sellers saved a record $165 million using Assist-2-Sell's "Full Service with $avings" process, which enables them to save thousands of dollars in commissions compared to paying 6 percent. Assist-2-Sell franchises provide the services of a professional real estate broker for a low flat fee.

LaMeres-Pomin and Martin also announced the 14 new franchises added in July 2005. They are: Brea, Calif.; Greenwich, Conn.; East Pembroke Pines-Miramar, New Port Richey, North Sarasota, Nokomis, and Oakland Park, Fla.; St. Louis, Mo., in the Creve Coeur-Olivette area; Hamilton Square, N.J.; Toledo, Ohio; Cottage Grove, Ore.; Alexandria, Va.; and Ferndale, and Seattle, Wash., in the Kent area.

Assist-2-Sell is able to charge low fees thanks to its high-volume system, backed by an experienced team of real estate professionals that handles everything from advertising and showing the home to overseeing the closing process. The local Assist 2 Sell office is located in Peachtree City at 111 Petrol Point.
