Costs & closing
When your Texas home sells, there's no transfer tax to pay — Texas charges no state, county, or city real-estate transfer or deed tax on a home sale. A 2015 constitutional amendment (Article VIII, Section 29) bars any new transfer tax on a fee-simple sale — the ordinary form of home ownership — after January 1, 2016. What you'll see at closing instead are standard county recording fees for filing the deed: a filing charge, not a percentage of your sale price. Rate source: Texas Constitution Article VIII, Section 29, as of 2026-08-27. Source · Art. VIII, § 29
None of those fees go 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 Texas closing, not HomeRise — some sellers use a real-estate attorney instead. They handle the final paperwork and itemize title, escrow, and recording on one closing statement — title insurance is usually the largest closer-side cost there, and the constitution still allows a tax on title-insurance premiums. HomeRise's part comes earlier — a compliance call before your listing goes live, so it meets Texas MLS rules. That call doesn't replace title insurance, 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 Texas MLS, and you manage showings and offers from your HomeRise dashboard. Accept an offer, and the title company or attorney takes it from there — with no transfer tax in Texas, there's no percentage to calculate, and your exact numbers land on the closing statement.

Texas seller rules
The 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer agent commissions work in Texas. 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.
Texas law requires most residential sellers to provide a Seller's Disclosure Notice (Texas Property Code 5.008). Texas is a title-insurance state; closings are typically handled by a title company, not HomeRise. HomeRise's compliance call reviews your listing so it meets Texas MLS rules. That call does not replace title insurance or the disclosure notice.
