Independent surveys state that over 95% of buyers search the Internet to find a home.  Virtually no one surveyed said their agent found them a home that they had not seen on the Internet or by driving around.  If you are one of the over 95% of the buyers out there doing their own homework, we figure why not pay you for your efforts so that you save money on your transaction closing costs. Our commission rebates save buyers thousands of dollars, thereby making buying their home LESS EXPENSIVE. 

Homebuyer rebates also known as home buyer commission refunds were pioneered more than 10 years ago. When a buyer’s real estate agent offers a commission rebate or refund, this just means that the agent is willing to give their home buyer client a set portion of their earned commission fee (which is typically 2.5-3% of the final sale price) at the time of closing.  

 Homebuyers can apply these rebates to their closing costs or in some cases, even take the rebate as a cash payment. While this sounds like a great deal, most agents won't offer a commission rebate unless you specifically request it. In addition, some real estate brokers (who employ the agent) will not permit rebates unless they are negotiated up front, and many brokers do not permit them at all. 

As a buyer, you can use this rebate to put towards your closing costs to offset the upfront expenses needed to purchase your home, and sometimes you can even take the rebate as cash at closing. It’s important to note that if you’re using a mortgage lender to finance your home, they have to approve how you use the rebate. Many lenders won’t let you take the rebate as cash at closing.
