Wondering how home buyer rebates work or how real estate commissions are structured? Our FAQ section walks you through everything you need to know about working with a top cashback realtor, including how buyers can receive a portion of the buyer agent commission back at closing, legally and transparently. Whether you are searching for a cashback realtor in Georgia, a rebate realtor in Florida, or the best rebate realtors in Texas, understanding how these programs work can put thousands of dollars back in your pocket. In most transactions, the seller pays the total commission, and a cashback real estate agent returns part of the buyer agent commission directly to you, either as a closing credit or a post-closing payment depending on your state. From Atlanta to Miami to Dallas, our home buyer rebate programs are designed to make buying a home more affordable across all the markets we serve.
Our buyer rebate program means we return a portion of our realtor commission back to you at closing. As one of the best rebate realtors in Texas, Florida, and Georgia, rebate amounts vary based on the type of home purchase and the state you are buying in. Please navigate to our state specific pages to see the exact rates for your area.
There are two main types of home purchase: new construction and resale. New construction homes are bought directly from the builder and have never been previously occupied. Resale homes are properties that have been previously owned and lived in, meaning they are listed for sale by a private seller rather than a builder.
For example, when you purchase a new construction home in Texas, the builder typically pays a 3% commission to the buyer's agent. As your Texas rebate realtor, we keep a small flat fee, usually $500 to $1,000, and return the remaining amount to you. That means you receive 95% or more of the commission back as a closing credit or direct payment to your bank account after closing. The same program applies for buyers using a cashback realtor in Florida or a rebate realtor in Georgia, with rates specific to each state.

In Georgia, additional fees apply to maintain the level of service our clients expect from a top rebate realtor in Georgia. A fee of $130 is collected for every $100,000 of the sales price, and any realtor bonuses included in the transaction carry an additional $500 fee. These fees apply to Georgia transactions only. Rebates are also subject to lender approval and applicable state regulations, and restrictions may apply based on property type or transaction terms.
For all states, timely submission of documentation is important. If required documents such as your executed contract are not submitted on time, our brokerage may charge us fees that we will need to pass on to you. Staying on top of paperwork helps ensure your experience as a cashback realtor client in Texas, Florida, or Georgia goes smoothly and your rebate is processed without delay.
