Costs & closing
When your New Jersey home sells, the state charges a Realty Transfer Fee, and the seller pays it. It isn't one flat rate: the state publishes two standard fee tables — one for sales up to $350,000 and one for sales over $350,000 — each billed per $500 of your sale price. Certain transfers over $1 million also pay an extra Graduated Percent Fee. We don't flatten all of that to one number here — your closer runs the official tables for your exact price.

None of that fee goes to HomeRise. HomeRise is not a licensed brokerage. With Essentials or Advanced, HomeRise charges two flat fees: the plan price when you activate your listing, then a closing compliance fee — $495 or $995, depending on your plan — charged only if your home sells. That closing fee covers MLS compliance, document review, and closing coordination. Prefer a licensed agent? Full Service matches you with one — no upfront fee, and the agent is paid 1% or 1.75% at closing.
A title company typically runs your New Jersey closing, not HomeRise. They handle the final paperwork, run the state's official fee tables for your exact sale price, and collect the Realty Transfer Fee with your other closing costs, itemized on one closing statement. HomeRise's part comes earlier — a compliance call before your listing goes live, so it meets New Jersey MLS rules. That call doesn't replace title work, and it doesn't collect any fee.
Pick a plan above and start your listing. After the compliance call, your home goes live on the New Jersey MLS, and you manage showings and offers from your HomeRise dashboard. Accept an offer, and the title company takes it from there — your exact numbers, Realty Transfer Fee included, land on the closing statement. We don't show a fee calculator here until a title partner signs off on the brackets.

New Jersey seller rules
The 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer agent commissions work in New Jersey. Commissions are no longer pre-set on the MLS, giving sellers full discretion. Whether to offer a buyer-agent commission, and how much, is your decision. HomeRise advisors can help you think through the strategy for your area and timeline.
New Jersey sellers must follow New Jersey disclosure and closing rules. HomeRise is not a licensed brokerage. The compliance call reviews your listing so it meets New Jersey MLS rules. That call does not replace required disclosures, title work, or legal advice. Specific form names are omitted here until a statute is fetched.
