Unlike old-fashioned agents, our buyer agents (Sheri, Stuart and Danny) work on a sliding scale that pays you from 0.5% to 2% of the purchase price when you buy your next home. The fewer houses we show you, the less commission we keep, and the more you get back. Simple.
In 2009 our average HomeFinder buyer received a $4,600 rebate after closing. Do the math. You'll find there's no better way to buy a home.

We are your advocate and ally throughout the home buying process.
- We help you find houses that fit your requirements.
- We walk you through prospective properties.
- We provide you with historical sales data from the MLS.
- We advise you on negotiation strategies.
- We write and deliver offers, counter offers, amendments, addendums, etc.
- And we see your accepted offer all the way through closing.
- All the assistance you would expect from an experienced buyer agent.
If that wasn't enough, we rebate a portion of our commission after closing (see sliding scale below). This is a true savings. Without our involvement the money would simply go to the listing agent or a selling agent. The more you learn about the realty business the more you'll understand how incredible our rebate really is!
Still not convinced?
Our HomeFinder service makes so much sense that the US Department of Justice has created a website to educate consumers about the benefits of buyer rebate programs like ours. Click here for more info.
Note: our HomeFinder service is subject to certain Realtor® rules/restrictions that apply to all agents -
- We represent you in the transaction so we must be the point of contact between you and the listing agent of the property you buy. This is very important! If you have already approached another agent (including the listing agent) to tour the property you intend to buy or to discuss terms of a possible sale, we are not eligible for the sales commission in the MLS and our HomeFinder incentive does not apply. This is true even if you don't sign anything with the other agent; they can earn the commission with a single phone conversation.
- Please do not attend agent Open Houses without telling us in advance. Think of them as traps set by listing agents to capture unsuspecting buyers. As soon as you talk to an agent about a property you "belong" to them and our HomeFinder incentive will not apply for that property. Strange but true.
