Property portal startup Richr lets sellers list for free

In a bold move, property portal startup Richr.com, is free to use for everyone

Richr, a home listings startup that takes the listing agent out of the real estate deal, is partnering with a Homestead firm to list 1,600 new homes in South Florida.

Richr, a free platform for home sellers that launched earlier this year, is working with Cosmopolis Real Estate to list newly built homes at Paradise Gardens, Paradise Gardens 1, Modern Towers, Grand Palms, GrandVille Place and Vittoria Gardens in south Miami-Dade, said Richr founder and CEO Glenn Orgin.

Richr.com lists homes in the tri-county area on the Multiple Listing Service for free. If a buyer is represented by an agent, the seller would still pay the agent’s commission. The website is free to use, but will eventually generate revenue by selling advertising and financial products to help buyers and sellers finance their properties, Orgin said. The goal is to eliminate 6 percent commission fees that brokers charge for their services.

Cosmopolis, led by its principal broker Alicia Ale, is the first company to work with Richr since the startup began operating in January. The homes are located at:

• Grand Palms: single-family homes in Florida City near the entrance to the Florida Keys
• GrandVille Place: three-story townhouses in Homestead
• Vittoria Gardens: a townhouse community in Homestead
• Paradise Gardens: a new townhome community with 143 homes between Cutler Bay and Homestead
