Equity First Realty knows that it's not too many real estate brokerage firms out there offering rebates. So you might be asking how we are different from Redfin. The answer is that we offer much higher cash back rebates and will guarantee our rebate will be $3,000 more than any rebate offered by Redfin*. Equity First Realty rebate is usually 2% of the sales price and Redfin’s rebate is much lower. Here is how Equity First Realty compares to Redfin:

Buyer rebates that give you cash back at closing?! If you have ever wondered how cash back rebates work for real estate, here is the inside scoop…

When real estate agents sell a property, they usually collect a commission between 2.5% and 3% of the property's gross sales price. So, on a $500,000 house, that would mean a commission of $15,000.00 to the selling broker. Out of that $15,000 commission, the buyer would receive $7,500 at closing (rebate check). Equity First Realty offers rebates up to 2% on new construction and up to 2% for pre-owned homes for sale in Virginia. In other words, we share our commission with you. Yes, we'll pay you to be our customer!

Many of today's home buyers are clearly willing and (with the Internet) able to search for and locate their own properties without relying on an agent to find houses for sale for them. For doing some of the work, Equity First Realty® thinks you are entitled to a portion of that commission. So, we're willing to give you up to 2% of the sales price back to you, just for letting us help you purchase your next home.

Just like retail product promotions for rebates where you get money back after you purchase a product, you too can get cash back on your home purchase! Equity First Realty® offers up to 2% of the sales price to buyers that use us as their representative in their real estate transactions.

The Internet has changed the way real estate is bought and sold. Today's consumers have information at their fingertips. That saves us time and money and we pass those savings along to you with a Home Buyer Real Estate Rebate. Up to 2% of the commission we earn goes back to our clients. The typical Virginia real estate buyer gets back between $10,000 to $17,000. Sometimes Much More!

Most Realtors won’t offer to give you a real estate rebate and will keep the whole commission to themselves, but Equity First Realty® wants to PAY YOU for the work we know you have put into your own real estate search. The average Virginia commission can on average bring in a real estate commission of $21,000, and if you work with us, $10,500 of that can be cash in your pocket or even go towards your home purchase closing costs!
