Real estate rebate · New construction & resale · All of Florida
A licensed Firelight Realty Group agent represents you from first showing to closing. Then 50% of the buyer-agent commission we receive comes back to you as a closing cost rebate, often $5,000–$15,000.
A home buyer rebate is part of your buyer's agent commission returned to you, usually as a credit toward closing costs. It is also called a realtor rebate, real estate rebate, commission rebate or closing cost rebate. Buyer rebates are legal in Florida when they are disclosed to everyone in the transaction, including your lender.
