Frequently asked questions
This sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?
There is no catch. The buyer-side commission is built into the home price — that money was always going to a buyer agent. We just rebate the bulk of it back to you. We make our living from the small portion we keep. It's a win-win.
Is buyer rebate legal in Washington?
Yes. Washington is a rebate-allowed state. The rebate must be disclosed in writing in your Buyer Broker Agreement and to your lender if you're financing. We handle the paperwork.
Do I have to sign a Buyer Broker Agreement?
Yes. Since the August 2024 NAR settlement, every buyer must sign a BBA before any showing — across the entire industry, not just our platform. Ours is plain-English and digital.
How is the rebate calculated?
Up to 2.5% of the purchase price, capped at $10,000 for most transactions. The rebate is a portion of the buyer-side commission. If the seller (or builder) pays a smaller commission, the rebate scales accordingly per a sliding formula in your BBA.
Are there any fees I have to pay?
No transaction fees, no platform fees, no membership. The buyer commission funds the rebate. If a seller refuses any buyer-side compensation, you pay only an activity fee disclosed in your BBA up front — never a surprise.
Does the rebate work on new construction?
Yes — and on most new builds the rebate stacks on top of builder promotions (rate buy-down, closing-cost credit, upgrades). The builder-paid commission funds your rebate independently of any incentive.
