Since the National Association of REALTORS forbids listings from home sellers who are not working with a Realtor, homebuyers are missing those properties.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe number of multiple offers over asking price as soon as a home hits the market has caused a lot of sellers to question the value of paying listing commissions to Realtors\u00ae,\u201d says Brad Rice, CEO of Homepie. According to the California Association of REALTORS\u00ae, the average sale price of property purchased or sold in California is $717,930. The average commission on a real estate transaction is 6% of the sales price, and is usually paid by the seller, split between the seller\u2019s and buyer\u2019s agents. Using Homepie\u2019s technology in California, sellers stand to save an average of $43,075 on a $717,930 transaction. Buyers and sellers both benefit from the elimination of tens of thousands of dollars in commission by leveraging Homepie\u2019s technology to confidently prep and sell property directly between parties.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Homepie, Inc is a property technology (proptech) startup that made headlines providing California home sellers an online marketplace with all the tools needed so they can sell their homes with ease.
