Partner In New York Law Firm Appointed To Help-u-sell Board

(Thursday, December 01, 2005) - Bradley J. Crandall, chairman of the board of Help-U-Sell Real Estate, announced the appointment of Stephen M. Rathkopf to the company's board of directors.


A partner in the New York law firm of Herrick, Feinstein LLP since 1987, Rathkopf brings an in-depth legal knowledge of real estate and restructuring matters to his board position.


He has represented, and represents, many prominent real estate companies, financial institutions, and individuals in a wide variety of significant real estate matters, including the sale of the Empire State Building in 2002.


He has coauthored the weekly real estate column for the New York Law Journal and lectured on real estate matters for the New York State Judiciary system and the New York University Real Estate Institute.


During his tenure at Herrick, Rathkopf also served on the firm's executive committee and as chairman of the corporate department.


He has handled a wide range of sophisticated corporate matters, including mergers and acquisitions, restructuring debt and equity, executive employment and Sabanes-Oxley compliance. Additionally, he has rendered day-to-day advice and strategic counseling as outside general counsel to companies.


Rathkopf left Herrick for a short period between 1999 and 2001 to serve as Senior Vice President of Frontline Capital Group. While there, he helped the company become one of the best performing NASDAQ stocks in 1999, when it increased its market cap to more than $1 billion.


He has also served as a director of HQ Global Workplaces, one of the largest executive office suite companies in the United States, and on the board of several other Frontline-affiliated companies.


Rathkopf joins Larry R. Polhill of American Pacific Financial Corporation and Eric Kufel, past president and CEO of Poore Brothers, Inc (NYSE: SNAK) on the Help-U-Sell Real Estate board.


"With the addition of Stephen Rathkopf as a director, we further strengthen the company for our move to the next level," board chairman Crandall said.


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.
