Our automation and processes empower homeowners to sell their own homes with confidence and ease. Unlike most tech companies, we have live assistance with a real person any time you need it.
We hold real estate licenses in some of the states we do business in, so that we can provide access to the MLS, as well as offer expert advice for those sellers who choose one of our remote agent services.
Our goal is to make it as easy to sell a home online, as it is to sell a car online.

You can sell your home with confidence using Homepie. We offer guidance every step of the way. You will have a dedicated concierge assigned from the beginning of your listing to help you make good decisions when it comes to selling your home. When a buyer is interested in your home, they will be able to make a proposed offer with ease directly from your listing page, here on the Homepie platform. There is no fee to use this tool regardless of whether you purchased a marketing plan, or if you opted for the free listing.
Worried about the paperwork and required real estate disclosures? No worries there, if you opt for our transaction coordinator service, they will guide you every step of the way through closing, and all legal paperwork is included.

If you are in a supported state, you can obtain our free purchase contract by using our free online offer, negotiation, and contract generator tool that is built into the site. This tool makes it a breeze to negotiate terms with your buyer, and the entire process can be done in minutes with real-time notifications. By contrast, negotiating the traditional way typically takes days, if not weeks, of back and forth.

If you are not in a supported state, you can use the system the same way to submit a proposal of terms; However, instead of a purchase contract, you will receive a Memorandum of Understanding prefilled with the terms all parties agreed to. You will need to have those terms transferred to a state specific contract. Homepie may be able to assist with obtaining the appropriate contract through our local partners.

Once all parties indicate that they agree on all terms, one of these documents will be generated for eSignature. If you are in a contract supported state, a purchase contract will be generated. Once all parties have sign the purchase contract, you will have a legally binding purchase contract to use for escrow.

At this point, we highly recommend you use our professional Transaction Coordination Service. With this service you get a dedicated Transaction Coordinator who will communicate with you frequently. They will provide you with all legal paperwork and all necessary seller disclosure documents needed to take you over the finish line and close with confidence. Homepie sellers rave about this service, stating they would have easily paid a lot more for the guidance, availability, and attention to detail they received from their Transaction Coordinator. You can see plenty of online reviews mentioning these folks by name, thanking them for making the process seamless and effortless.

Homepie offers a Professional Pricing Report with most of our marketing packages, or you can purchase this a-la-carte. This deep analysis will give you insight into the recent activity near your home and will help you price your home correctly. Discussing pricing strategy based on market conditions upfront can get you the best price, strongest offers, or even the fastest sale depending on your goals. Completing this process up front will allow you to minimize frustrations.

Buyers can submit showing requests directly from your listing page. You will be notified by email and text when you receive a showing request. This request is set up to enable an in person visit, or virtual visit through a variety of mediums like FaceTime, WhatsApp, Zoom, etc... It is up to you to accept these requests and confirm the time and method of connection. Walking a buyer through your home virtually is a wonderful way to help minimize the time needed to meet with buyers who may not know exactly what they want quite yet. Once you meet them in person, then you know you have a serious buyer that may be willing to act in writing you an offer.

We highly recommend you choose a marketing package that includes an MLS listing. Once on the MLS, your home listing will almost instantly be sent to 100’s of real estate websites. The most notable sites where Homepie’s MLS listings show are: Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, Homes.com, Hotpads.com, Movoto, and RocketHomes.

If you don’t have a buyer already lined up, you will want to choose a MLS package so that your listing can be exposed to the buyer market, right where they search homes online. Without the power of the exposure you get from an MLS syndication, you can expect it to take longer to sell your home and you may miss out on some of the equity you built because there may not be enough buyer traffic to inspire competition over your home. This is why 95% of our customers choose to list on the MLS. The best practice is to have a complete listing and professional photos prior to initiating your MLS listing. The adage that you only get one chance to make a good first impression genuinely applies here!

First, prep your home by getting it cleaned up and ready for sale. Order a For Sale sign and professional photos for your listing. Market your home by listing it on the MLS to obtain optimal exposure. Buyers will find your property on the internet and can propose offer terms directly to you on homepie.com. You can easily reject, counter, or accept any of these offers. Our system makes it easy, and we are here to help if you need it.

Professional Photography is in the top 3 most important things to do when selling your home. Your goal is to get buyers to fall in love with your home before they see it. You can make that happen by making them really feel what it will be like living there, and it all starts with having professional quality images. This cannot be accomplished with a cell phone. Even though there are some great cell phone cameras out there, a professional photographer that specializes in real estate, is an expert in angles, lighting, and editing. It is a night and day contrast when comparing a good amateur photo to a good professional photo.
The amount you pay for photography has immense value and can’t be understated. You get on average 6 times more buyer inquiries, sell 32% faster, and you’ll sell on average for $10,000 to $31,000 more. Photography is a must.

Since many sellers have asked for an expert level of service, we now offer certain MLS marketing packages that include remote agent advisory services called Homepie Premium and Homepie Lux. With the Premium package, you have access to a licensed agent during regular business hours and with the Lux package you have access to a licensed agent 7 days a week.
Our agents will help you with a thorough pricing strategy, understanding and comparing complex offers, they will guide you through best practices in negotiating offers and once you are under contract they will provide advice on handling repair requests after the buyer inspects your home. They will also work closely with your Transaction Coordinator and communicate with all parties to ensure your transaction progresses smoothly.

Listing a home For Sale By Owner on Zillow used to be a fantastic way to get free exposure of your home for sale online due to their massive amount of site traffic. However, this changed when Zillow made some updates to their site. Now, all For Sale by Owner homes are separated and hidden from traditional agent listings. In simple terms, they have become hard for buyers to find. If you list your home on Zillow, you will quickly learn that most of the inquiries you get are agents who want to solicit you to list with them. Most sellers complain about the amount of agent calls they get trying to persuade them to list their home with them.
Additionally, a FSBO Zillow listing is simply a poster board. Zillow does not enable you to actually perform as a seller. If you are lucky enough to get a buyer, then you are on your own. Contrary to Homepie, where you and the buyer are guided at every step of the process so you can sell easily and confidently. Homepie is the only site that offers a free offer proposal and negotiation tool that automatically produces a purchase contract, in supported states, and offers a Transaction Coordination Service to guide you through the balance of the process with all the required legal forms so you can confidently close escrow and not worry about the paperwork.
Listing on the MLS through Homepie will not only put your listing on Zillow in the traditional listing and publicly visible area, but you’ll also been seen on 100+ more websites including Realtor.com, Homes.com, and Trulia.
We are in the business of helping sellers list and close on their homes. Zillow is in the business of selling leads. We are very different.

Yes! You can create a simple free listing, then share it with your buyer. Your buyer can then easily submit an offer proposal through the system. This simple step-by-step process offers video tutorials, simple definitions, and deeper discussion on each of the terms of the proposed offer.
By the way, there is always a Homepie representative available via chat on the site anytime buyer or seller have questions.
Once you all agree to terms, in supported states, the purchase contract will be generated. Once signed by all parties, this becomes a binding legal contract that is yours to keep.
If you are in a state where we offer users the memorandum of understanding, remember that this is not a binding contract even after it’s signed. In this case, you will need to transfer those terms to a state specific contract, and Homepie may be able to help with that.
For closing, we can set you up with our partner escrow company, or choose your own. We can also handle all the paperwork and legal disclosures needed, if you choose our Transaction Coordination services.

Yes, Homepie makes it easy for buyers that have agent representation to make offers on seller direct listings.
If a listing is on the MLS, then the real estate agent knows the commission offered by the seller. In the event the MLS listing shows zero, $1, or negotiable, the buyer’s agent will want to inquire with the seller or listing agent.
If a home is not on the MLS, it is still possible to ask the seller to pay a commission when going through the offer process. At the beginning of the offer creation, there are fields to enter the Agent information along with contact email and license number. Once a proposed offer is agreed to, Homepie's Transaction Coordinator can provide other standard documents and disclosures that are typical to an agent assisted real estate sale. We help educate sellers of this process so they are not surprised by the additional disclosures.
