Rebates - what is it and where does it come from?
What is a buyer's rebate? When a home is listed in MLS the buyers agent will receive a commission from the seller. As your buyer's rep, we will receive the commission of which we may be able to share with you upon closing and funding if you qualify.
Why do we give a buyers rebate? You will spend a lot of time looking online and will get to know almost everything you could know about the homes before you even get an appointment to see the them. With all the time and effort you put into this, we feel that you should get rewarded for this because you are helping us make it a very efficient process. We have created a buyers rebate program to give back to our buyers at closing.
Do you have a home to sell? Check out our Sellers Page. You will see due to our low selling fees, the buyer's rebate could potentially refund all your selling fees back resulting in FREE selling services. How much you get back depends on the package and price of home you choose.
