Orlando rebate FAQ
Do you show resale homes across Orlando?
Yes, throughout Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Lake, Volusia, Flagler and Brevard counties. New construction rebates are available anywhere in Florida.
Can I combine the rebate with builder incentives?
Usually, yes. The rebate comes from our commission, not the builder's incentive budget.
Is a closing cost rebate common in Orlando?
Rebates are legal in Florida, but most Orlando agents don't offer one. Always ask before signing a buyer agreement.

How we help Orlando buyers, step by step
1. Call or fill out the form. A licensed Firelight Realty Group agent replies the same day, learns what you want and sends a written rebate estimate.
2. Sign a showing agreement or buyer brokerage agreement. As a REALTOR member brokerage, we put our agreement, including your 50% rebate, in writing before we tour or work together. Learn more about Florida buyer agreements.
3. Get pre-approved and tell your lender about the rebate. Lenders must approve the credit, and loan programs cap total credits, so we plan around your loan from day one.
4. Tour, register and offer. We register you with builders before your first model visit, and on resales we negotiate price, repairs and buyer-agent compensation together.
5. Close and save. Your rebate appears as a credit on the settlement statement, lowering the cash you bring to closing.
If you go to an open house on your own, tell the listing agent you're working with Firelight Realty Group. All commissions are negotiable.
