02 / Before showings
Get ready to tour.
Obtain lender preapproval and sign your buyer’s agent agreement. Share travel dates and ask about available virtual showings if you are still out of state.
03 / Before arrival
Build a flexible timeline.
Coordinate contract dates, inspections, closing, and possession. Confirm temporary lodging options through the appropriate providers if you may arrive before your home is available.

Buyer commission rebate
Buying a home?
50% back.
More for your next chapter.
Receive 50% of the buyer-agent commission we receive, subject to a $6,500 minimum retained by our brokerage. The rebate is reduced when necessary to preserve that minimum.
Explore Buyer Services ↗Rebate based on commission received, not the home’s purchase price. Subject to written agreement, lender approval, and closing requirements. Seller-paid compensation is negotiable and not guaranteed.
Change this example rate to match your scenario. Commissions are negotiable; 2.5% is not a standard or required rate.
Estimated commission$15,000
Estimated buyer rebate$7,500
Brokerage retains from commission$7,500
Estimated rebate = the smaller of 50% of commission or commission minus $6,500, with a minimum of $0. If commission is below $6,500, the calculator shows no rebate; your written agreement determines any shortfall obligation. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed closing credit.
