When each one makes sense
If you're buying in South Florida and you're comfortable with an online-first experience, compare Prevu's offer for your specific home. Ask exactly how the rebate is calculated if the seller pays less than expected.
If you're buying new construction anywhere in Florida, or a resale in Central Florida, and want one local agent who registers you with builders and stays with you to closing, a full-service rebate agent is usually the better fit.
