FAQ
- Is there a monthly subscription?
- No. HomesRunner is purely commission-based — you only pay when a homeowner books and pays you through the platform.
- Do I pay for leads I don't win?
- Never. Receiving leads, sending quotes, and messaging homeowners are always free.
- When is the 3% deducted?
- Automatically, at the moment Stripe releases each payout to your connected account. You don't need to send us anything.
- What if a job is canceled or refunded?
- If the homeowner is refunded, the matching platform fee is refunded to you too. You're never charged on money you didn't keep.
- Can I work with a homeowner off-platform?
- Once you've been introduced through HomesRunner, the agreement requires the job goes through the platform. See the contractor agreement for details.
- Are there any other fees?
- Standard Stripe card-processing fees (~2.9% + $0.30) apply to every transaction, just like anywhere else you accept cards. That's it.
- How do taxes work?
- You're an independent business, so HomesRunner doesn't withhold taxes from your payouts. We give you 1099-ready earnings summaries, and Stripe issues a 1099-K when you meet the reporting thresholds. Talk to your own accountant about what you owe.
- Are my leads exclusive?
- Direct requests are yours alone. They're only shared with other pros if the homeowner chose that option and you haven't responded in 60 minutes. Posted jobs go to a maximum of 5 pros.
