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.

If you are buying, start with the rebate estimator — it shows what a credit could look like on your purchase price and loan type. If you are selling, or you own a rental you are thinking about, call me and we will run the numbers before you list anything.
