We provide an elevated, full-service home buying experience and rebate any commissions over 1% directly back to the buyer, saving them thousands of dollars.Rebate savings are based on a typical 2.5% buyer-broker commission offered by the seller of a listing. Buyer commissions vary and are fully negotiable. Any buyer commission offered over 1% is credited to the buyer at closing, subject to lender approval and any applicable laws.
How can buyers use their commission rebate?
Home buyers can use their buyer agent commission rebate to reduce the purchase price of the home, put it towards their closing costs, or buy down their mortgage rate to lower their monthly payments. They can also use a combination of those options. The rebate is credited to the buyer at closing and transparently stated on the settlement statement.The closing credit is subject to lender approval and any applicable laws.
How do real estate commission rebates work?
Many homes for sale offer a commission to the buyer's agent. Typically, it has been about 2.5%, but it varies widely and is fully negotiable. We give the buyer a rebate for any commission over 1%. The rebate appears as a credit to the buyer on the settlement statement at closing, and buyers can use the credit in ways such as mortgage rate buydown, lowering their closing costs, and reducing the home price. In multiple offer situations, the rebate can be used to make their offer more competitive. The closing credit is subject to lender approval and any applicable laws.
