What is a buyer rebate in California?

A buyer rebate is a portion of the commission a buyer’s agent returns to the buyer at closing, most often applied as a credit toward closing costs. Rebates are legal in California. The amount depends on the transaction, and lender rules can limit how a credit is applied, so eligibility is confirmed per deal rather than promised in advance.
