Since launching in 2019, Homepie\u2019s technology\/concierge hybrid model has established itself as the lowest cost and highest service option available.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s proptech allows consumers to eliminate tens of thousands of dollars in commissions by leveraging technology to independently stage their property and get it in front of online buyers.<\/p>\n<p>According to the California Association of REALTORS\u00ae, the average value of property purchased or sold in California is $717,930. The normal commission on a real estate transaction is 6% of the closing price, typically paid by the seller then split between the seller\u2019s and buyer\u2019s agents. With Homepie\u2019s model applied to California properties, sellers stand to save $43,075 on average.<\/p>\n<p>Dean Vendouris, a homeowner in Tujunga, CA shared his experience with Homepie that led to $26,000 dollars in commission savings &#8211; more than even the lowest discount fees offered by Redfin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI sold our rental condo 20 years ago and wanted to try selling my home this year. After plenty of phone calls, lowball offers, and frustration that things weren&#8217;t happening quickly, Tammy (a Homepie concierge) promptly addressed my concerns. I was given a thorough report and wise recommendations regarding listing photos. After being on the MLS, Zillow, Realtor, Redfin, etc., for 5-6 weeks with lame photos attracting bad offers, I took Homepie\u2019s suggestion. Using their photographer, I sold it three days later, full ask. Couldn&#8217;t be more pleased with Homepie; they fully delivered,\u201d said Dean.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen marketed correctly using the tools we provide, homes are selling in three to five days,\u201d says Brad Rice, CEO of Homepie. \u201cInventory is so low in California that most customers see multiple full-price offers on their home within days of adding them to our site.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Homepie<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Homepie is the place where savvy consumers go for commission-free help to buy or sell homes.
