Commission Rebates

When you sell your home, the profits from the sale can be significantly eaten away by agent’s fees – but not if you request a refund by registering now with Commission Rebates. Selling your home is a lot of work and can be financially and emotionally stressful, not to mention that you want to be getting the most amount possible from the sale of your house in the current real estate market. That’s why you need to find out more about how to secure real estate commission rebates from the sale of your house.

What Are Real Estate Agent Commissions?

When you call on a real estate agent to help you sell your home, you are entering into a contract to pay them a portion of the sale price, for their work in selling your home. However, this portion can be as much as 3% of the sale price, and is much more than is required to pay for newspaper and online ads. A 3% agent’s commission on the sale of a $450,000 house for example is $13,500 and after having the signage printed and the advertising put into play, which is a significant portion of your sale price going to your salesperson.

Real estate agents also use a portion of their commission to encourage new business and many will offer a referral fee when new clients are introduced to their agency. This referral fee is usually around 20% of the agent’s commission and on the sale of an average Australian home this is approximately $2,500.

So why are we telling you how your real estate agent is profiting from the sale of your home? Because we are now about to tell you how you can profit from the real estate agent’s profit.

How to Receive Commission Rebates from Real Estate Agents

It is important that you contact Commission Rebates before you start looking for a real estate agent, because when you request a refund by registering now with Commission Rebates, we can effectively introduce you to your real estate agent, and we collect their referral fee – we then pass that referral fee onto you, so you can get back some of the commission your real estate agent is making from the sale of your home. Here’s how it works:

• Request a refund by registering now with Commission Rebates. 
• Register with Commission Rebates before you contact any real estate agents. 
• Once you are registered, ask us about a real estate agent you have considered contacting, or for our recommendation of a real estate agent who would suit you and your property. 
• Create a shortlist of real estate agents through Commission Rebates and we will then organise for each agent to meet with you and discuss the sale of your property. 
• The decision is yours about which agent you choose to help you sell your home. 
• Once your property is sold, Commission Rebates is paid a referral fee, which we credit to your refund account, and is refunded back to you.

By making a call to Commission Rebates before you choose a real estate agent to sell your home, you could be getting back thousands of dollars which would normally be lost to an agent’s commission. Instead, in one simple phone call you will receive a shortlist of the best real estate agents in your area, and you’ll not only secure yourself a great sale price, but a rebate from your agent’s commission too.
