What is HomeRise?
HomeRise is a flat fee listing company that helps homeowners reach buyers and keep more of their equity. It is part of the Newfound family and offers MLS listing support, Full Service agent matching, investor services, and eligible buyer rebates.
Is HomeRise a licensed real estate brokerage?
No, HomeRise is not a licensed brokerage; licensed brokerage partners provide MLS access and applicable representation. Essentials and Advanced leave you in charge of pricing, showings, offers, and negotiations, while Full Service connects you with an agent to guide the sale.
Is $95 the total cost of selling with HomeRise?
No: Essentials is $95 upfront plus $495 at closing if you sell, for $590 in HomeRise fees. Buyer-agent compensation and other closing costs are separate, and Colorado uses a different plan at $95 upfront plus $3,495 at closing if you sell.
Will I work with a real person?
Yes: a HomeRise representative helps you get started, and the listing assistant team supports your listing details and questions. Email is our primary support channel, with phone support also available and a published weekday response estimate of 24–48 hours.
How soon can my listing go live?
HomeRise’s published estimate is approximately 72 hours after all required information and documents are complete. The timing can change if details need correction, MLS review takes longer, or participating websites have not yet updated.
Can I cancel my listing at any time?
You can cancel your HomeRise listing at any time without penalties. The $95 listing fee is refundable if you cancel before your listing is activated.
What if I need help from a local expert?
HomeRise can connect you with a licensed local real estate expert if you want more hands-on help with your sale. Get guidance on pricing, marketing, negotiations, and closing through a Full Service plan. You can discuss the available services and fees before deciding what’s right for you.
How do I know whether HomeRise covers my address?
Explore the MLS coverage page, then enter your full property address during listing setup to confirm available plans and fees. If your town or neighborhood is not listed in the directory, use the address-based setup to check your property.
