Home sellers normally offer a buyer’s broker commission of 2.0% – 3.0% of the final purchase price so your rebate would be up to 2% of the purchase price (subject to our minimum charge of $9,950).*

How it's applied:

Credit on your closing statement — this is the easiest way. Our rebate will be itemized on your HUD1 closing statement as a credit applied to your closing costs, requiring you to bring in less cash to close escrow.


Is a California real estate commission rebate taxable? NO, real estate commission rebates are not considered taxable by the IRS. A rebate will reduce the cost basis of your home (the price you paid).  For example: If you purchase a $1,200,000 home and we rebate you $18,000 your cost basis on your home would be $1,182,000. When you sell your home any profit would be based on that purchase price. We do not report a commission rebate to the IRS. For any or all tax related questions, we recommend all buyers to consult with their professional tax advisors.

Is a commission rebate legal? 100% YES. The United States Department of Justice has a webpage entitled “Rebates Make Buying a Home Less Expensive“.  Ten states have enacted laws that forbid brokers from offering refunds, thankfully, California allows Us to share our commission with you.
