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 |
| $500,000 | $12,500 | $6,000 | $6,500 |
| $800,000 | $20,000 | $10,000 | $10,000 |
Actual amounts depend on commission received and the written agreement. An estimate can be zero. Review final eligibility and use of any rebate with our team and your lender before including it in your budget.
