We have founded our entire firm on the concept of rebates. Out network of agents utilize Internet technology to streamline their costs and to be more efficient. (For example, this FAQ you're reading now means we don't have to answer the same questions over and over on the phone!). RebateReps agents are willing to earn less money on every transaction because they know that you probably already have an idea of the property or area in which you want to buy, so the agent doesn't have to be a "taxi driver" and drive you all around town. Since you're saving the agent time, they can afford to share their commission with you. RebateReps agents also know that satisfied customers lead to a greater number of clients. When they give you a rebate, they are basically giving you back part of their commission... a commission which the SELLER pays a real estate agent. A buyer never pays a commission, so the rebate isn't costing you anything. You pay the same price for a house whether you have a real estate agent or not. So why not get a few thousand dollars back when you buy your next home?
