FAQs

Where does the money I receive (the rebate) come from?

If the seller pays a 6% commission, 3% may go to the seller’s listing agent/broker and 3% may go to the buyer’s agent/broker.   Broker commissions are not set by law and are fully negotiable.

Transaction example: 

However, when working with Buyer Rebates Realty, there is one additional step.  In the transaction example above, the 3% paid by the seller to Buyer Rebates Realty is then split with you the home buyer.

Does the rebate program apply to new home construction?

Yes, our rebate program also applies to new home construction and new home communities. In order for us to be paid a commission and in turn pay you a rebate, it is IMPERATIVE that Buyer Rebates Realty be your “registered” Realtor with the builder. We strongly prefer to be with you when you first visit a new home community and handle this registration in person. (Remember we are a full service real estate company.) However, should you visit a community without us, you MUST tell the builder’s site agent that you heard about the community from Buyer Rebates Realty and that Buyer Rebates Realty is your real estate agent.  If you complete a builder registration form when at the model home you MUST indicate Buyer Rebates Realty is your real estate brokerage.  WE MUST BE PRESENT BEFORE YOU DO A LOT DEPOSIT OR ENTER INTO A CONTRACT.

Does the rebate program apply to homes on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?

Yes it does.  However, if another agent shows you the inside a home, chances are that home will not then quality for a rebate.  (An exception to that rule is an open house; so long as you tell the other agent at the open house that you are already working with Buyer Rebates Realty the rebate program will still apply.)  You can also do "drive-bys" to check out the exterior of houses and neighborhoods but when you want to see inside a home, be sure to call your Buyer Rebates Realty agent and see it with us.
