Buyer Frequently Asked Questions

What is a buyer commission rebate?

A buyer commission rebate is when your agent gives you a portion of their commission at closing.  It is usually used by buyers to pay closing costs and prepays.  You can learn more about it here.

How much will my buyer rebate be?

In a traditional home sale, the seller usually pays the buyers agent’s commission for bringing the buyer.  In Colorado, this is typically 2.8% percent of the sales price although it can vary.  By working with EZ Agents, you will receive a Realtor commission rebate of 50% of the commission we receive.  Feel free to use our savings calculator to get an idea of what your specific rebate would be based on your price point.

Are commission rebates taxable?

No.  Since you receive your buyer commission rebate as a credit at closing it is not considered taxable income.  * Please note this is not financial advice.  All buyers should contact an attorney or accountant with any tax related questions.

Why would you offer a buyer commission rebate?

We offer our buyers a commission rebate for numerous reasons.

  1. The commission structure is outdated. Despite the explosion of the internet, giving buyers more access to information listings, the commissions agents are paid has not changed.  We believe this is wrong and that buyers, particularly ones that like to do some of their own legwork in finding the home, should have another option.
  2. It helps us acquire clients. Rather than pay “lead generation” companies that sell your info to us, we offer the rebate directly to you, cutting out the middleman.
  3. We have very low internal costs and can pass the savings along to you. Many brokerages have high costs they charge their agents when it comes to closing costs, office fees, brokerage splits, etc. that eat into an agent's commissions.  Although we do have some internal costs they are very low and we do not pass those along to our buyers.  All our brokerage fees come out of our 50%.  Our buyers do not pay any transaction fees or anything along those lines.
What can I use the buyer rebate for?

The buyer rebate you receive is applied at closing on your settlement statement.  If you are using a lender, then the lender usually takes the rebate and uses it to pay closing costs and prepaid items that you would normally have to pay out of pocket.  Some examples of these fees include loan origination fees, property taxes, title fees, etc.  Many buyers also choose to use the rebate to buy down points on their mortgage, getting them a lower interest rate and a lower monthly payment – saving them tens of thousands of dollars over the life of a loan.

Can you help me sell my home?

Absolutely.  We are happy to help our clients with both sides of the transaction when they need to sell as well.  We offer discounted listing commissions and may even be able to sell your home for free if you are also buying.

Who will I work with?

If you choose to work with EZ Agents you will work directly with Steve Novak, Colorado’s top rebate Realtor, from the initial call all the way through closing.

Seller Frequently Asked Questions

What about the buyer's agent commision?

Per the new rules following the NAR settlement, buyer's agent commissions are negotiated as part of the purchase offer.  So while we will certainly discuss the buyers agent's commission at our in person meeting, the reality is buyers and their agents will submit who pays their agent and what they will be paid as part of their purchase offer and will be determined then.

How can you sell my home for free?

At EZ Agents we offer Colorado's biggest buyer commission rebate.  If you are in a position where you need to both buy and sell we may be able to provide you a rebate on the buy side that will completely offset your costs to us on the listing side depending on price point and other factors.  Best to contact us to discuss details of your particular situation.
