Homebuyer Rebates - Cash Back Rebate Program
-
Receive a 1% Cash Rebate when you purchase a
home or condo
-
For example, on a home you purchase for $800,000 your rebate
would be $8,000!
-
Available on all homes listed for sale
- including new construction
When a property is listed for sale, the
seller pays a commission to the buyer's real estate
agent. Most real estate agents then keep all of the commission
for themselves. When you use Michael Smith as your exclusive
buyer's agent and purchase a home, we don't keep all of the
commission - we give you up to a 1% cash rebate on your home
purchase.
By having Michael Smith as your agent you are
assured of great negotiating skills to get you the best price on
your home, attention to detail to ensure your transaction is
completed and handled correctly, plus up to a 1% cash rebate.
Complete details on the Cash Back Rebate
Program are outlined below. If you have any questions please do
not hesitate to contact us.
Please note that our Cash Back Rebate applies
to all homes listed for sale - including those listed with
another real estate company and includes new construction as
well as previously owned homes.
I provide you with access to search the MLS listings directly
from my website to help you find the home of your dreams - and I
can send you custom lists of all homes that match your criteria
and can even provide you with automatic email notices of "just
listed" properties.
You can drive by and preview homes that match your criteria.
Once you find a home you would like to view, simply contact
Michael Smith to schedule a showing.
After closing, you will receive a check for 1% of the sales
price. (You can even have your rebate applied to your purchase
or closing costs as well.)
Michael Smith represents you throughout the entire buying and
contract process as your exclusive Buyer's Agent.
I make sure you get the right house at the right price.
Remember, there is no cost to the buyer to have me assist
them in
the purchase of a home - all fees are paid by the seller.
