Buyers considering a commission rebate should request current terms directly from the brokerage. Availability and the amount for a particular transaction should not be inferred from an old article or an illustrative calculation.
Request a transaction-specific proposal
Describe the representation you need and ask whether a rebate is offered for that situation. Get the calculation, eligibility conditions and timing in writing. Ask how a change in price or brokerage compensation would affect it.
Check costs and treatment
Review any buyer payment obligation as well as the proposed benefit. Have your lender and attorney confirm how an agreed rebate could be handled and documented. Do not assume it can replace required cash or fund expenses before closing.
Compare options consistently
Ask each brokerage the same questions about services, availability and written terms. Evaluate the overall arrangement without assuming competitors cannot offer alternatives or that the largest advertised figure is best for you.
Use our rebate terms checklist and brokerage comparison guide to organize the discussion.
Discuss your plans
