Flat Rate Realty Buyer Rebate Program
50% buyer commission rebate
Receive 50% of the buyer-agent commission our brokerage actually receives, reduced when needed so the brokerage retains at least $6,500. The $6,500 is a brokerage minimum, not a minimum or guaranteed rebate to the buyer.
For eligible first responders, nurses, active-duty military and teachers. Confirm eligibility and the arrangement in a written buyer-agency agreement. Obtain lender preapproval when financing. Rebates depend on lender approval and closing requirements. Seller-paid compensation is negotiable and is not guaranteed.
Illustrative rebate examples
These examples assume the brokerage actually receives a 2.5% buyer-agent commission. This rate is an example, not a required or standard commission.
| Purchase price | Commission received | Estimated buyer rebate | Brokerage retains |
|---|---|---|---|
| $400,000 | $10,000 | $3,500 | $6,500 |
