Use recent nearby sales of homes with a similar size, type and condition to inform your asking price. These market-wide figures cannot value an individual property or predict how long your home will take to sell.

Prepare your sale

Selling in Philadelphia:
records and requirements.

Prepare your property records and confirm the requirements and closing costs for your exact address.

01 / Seller preparation

Understand Philadelphia transfer tax.

Philadelphia’s published combined realty transfer tax rate is 4.578%. That is the combined tax, not automatically your seller share. Ask your settlement provider to itemize the amount and allocation for your sale.

City of Philadelphia tax guide ↗Source checked 2026-09-14.

02 / Seller preparation

Prepare your Pennsylvania disclosure.

For residential transfers covered by Pennsylvania’s Seller Disclosure Law, disclose known material defects and give the buyer a signed, dated statement before both parties sign the sale agreement. Exceptions apply; check the law’s scope for your transaction.

Pennsylvania disclosure law ↗Source checked 2026-09-14.

03 / Seller preparation

Plan for the Property Sales Certification.

Philadelphia requires a Property Sales Certification for a property sale. It identifies zoning, the last established use in City records and uncorrected code violations. Confirm who will obtain it and allow time before closing.

What does a flat fee MLS Philadelphia listing cost?

HomeRise Essentials is $95 to list, plus $495 only if you close. Advanced is $495 to list, plus $995 only if you close and includes professional photography, a yard sign, and a lockbox. Compare both the upfront and closing charges when choosing your Philadelphia listing plan. Other transaction costs are separate.

Which MLS will my Philadelphia home appear on?

HomeRise maps Philadelphia listings to Bright MLS. Your home's address and eligibility are confirmed during listing setup. If the property is outside Philadelphia, use the Pennsylvania coverage guide to check the appropriate local MLS rather than assuming every Pennsylvania board serves your address.

How do I prepare my Philadelphia property for an MLS listing?

Start with the exact property address, an asking price, accurate property details, and listing photos. Review the selected plan to see whether photography is included. Complete the listing and compliance steps before expecting your home to go live. Check the finished listing for errors in the address, room details, photos, and showing instructions.

Does the flat fee MLS Philadelphia plan include help with the whole sale?

The help included depends on the plan you choose. Essentials provides the MLS listing and listing support; Advanced adds the services shown in the plan comparison. If you want an agent to handle pricing, showings, offers, and negotiations, review the separate Full Service option and its commission terms. HomeRise is a flat fee dashboard brand, not a licensed brokerage.

How soon can my Philadelphia listing go live?

Most sellers go live within 24–72 hours after submitting listing details and completing the compliance call. Missing information, incomplete photos, or unresolved listing requirements can affect timing. Confirm the expected launch date during setup before scheduling an open house or advertising that the home is already on the MLS.

Is the closing compliance fee the same as Philadelphia transfer tax?

No. The fee at closing is a HomeRise plan charge that applies only if you close. Transfer taxes and other settlement costs are separate. Philadelphia can have local charges in addition to Pennsylvania charges, so ask your title or settlement provider for an itemized estimate for your address. The Pennsylvania closing-cost information on this page is statewide guidance, not a Philadelphia closing quote.

How should I compare flat fee MLS Philadelphia services?

Compare the total charge if the home sells, the local MLS used, the listing term, cancellation terms, photo and sign services, and the support included. Ask what costs extra and who handles offers and negotiations. A low advertised upfront fee alone does not tell you the total cost or the level of help you will receive.

What does HomeRise listing support include?

Essentials and Advanced include customer support, unlimited listing changes and ShowingTime for managing showings. You handle pricing, showings, offers and negotiations. Full Service connects you with a licensed agent for representation. Confirm the services in your selected plan before paying.
