EZ Agents was created to fill a void in the marketplace and update the traditional, outdated real estate model.

Most home buyers are finding homes online by themselves. So while you may not need an agent to help in your home search, you deserve representation and guidance navigating the contracts, negotiations, inspections, and closing of your new purchase.

EZ Agents offers a simple, innovative model for home buying. We focus our efforts on providing value where our clients need it – and splitting 50% of our commission with you.

Definition:

A buyer commission rebate is a credit to reduce your closing costs. It is deducted from your agent's commissions, which are paid by the seller. You (the buyer) pay nothing to receive this credit.

Why would you give up half your commission?

We specialize in working with a specific type of buyer. Our buyers generally know where they are looking and what they are looking for in a home and often are already spending hours of their own time looking through online listings and photos. They do not need, or want, an agent to try to find and tell them what home to buy. But they do need an agent to handle the rest including:

  • Scheduling in person showings
  • Writing and negotiating an offer
  • Handling inspection and inspection objections
  • Navigating all the dates and deadlines until closing

As agents this saves us a significant amount of time and allows us to work with more buyers and thus pass the savings on to you. Additionally, simply put we believe that buyers should have another option than the one size all agent model, where no matter how much an agent does, they keep the full commission. A commission that can often be tens of thousands of dollars.

Not all buyers are created equal and buyers should have more than one option when it comes to commissions and agent fees.

How much do I get in a rebate?

Receive 50% of the commission we're paid by the builder

At EZ Agents we split the commission 50/50 with you. Traditionally in Colorado the commission paid to a buyers agent is 2.8% (although this can vary as it is set by the seller and can range anywhere from 2.5-3%). A good example of how a buyer rebate works is below.

Purchase price: $750,000
Buyers Agent Commission: 2.8%
Rebate to Home Buyer: $10,500

Are buyer commission rebates legal?

Yes! Buyer commission rebates are legal in 40 out of 50 states. In fact, they are encouraged by the United States Department of Justice as a way to increase competition amongst agents and create the best opportunities for home buyers. By law, commissions are negotiable.

Specifically “the rules adopted by the Colorado Real Estate Commission, does not prohibit the payment of a rebate to the buyer and/or seller.”

Are commission rebates taxable?

Receive 50% of the commission we're paid by the builder

Since buyers are not licensed agents they cannot receive a commission check and thus it comes in the form of a rebate which is applied on your settlement sheet at closing. There are many ways the rebate can be applied such as paying all your closing costs or buying down your interest rate to name a couple. But because the money is received as a rebate and not income it is not considered taxable.***

**** This is not financial advice. All buyers should contact an accountant with any tax questions.

  • Search homes online.
  • Tour in person.
  • We’ll do the rest.

Search online on your time.

Find your home online on your time using your favorite home search site. Then contact us directly to arrange a showing. For a small fee of $25 we will arrange for a licensed showing assistant to meet you at the home at your desired date and time.

(Please note that we use a third party showing service. Showing agents are paid $50 a showing for their time but we split this fee with you 50/50 – same as the commission)

Schedule showings on demand

In this fast paced market it is essential to be able to see homes as soon as they hit the market or they may go under contract. All you need to do is call or text us directly to schedule showings. Since we use a third party showing service you don't have to worry about whether or not your agent is busy at that time.

Submit your offer!

Once you find the home you love, you'll work directly with Steve Novak to handle all aspects of of the transaction from offer to close. Including:

  • Submitting the offer
  • Negotiating the terms
  • Navigating inspection and appraisal
  • Closing on the home

How can we offer such a great deal?

More buyers

By outsourcing showings and not personally showing homes, we are able to work with more buyers and focus our efforts where buyers actually need help – contracts and negotiations – NOT endlessly scrolling online listings and driving all over town to open doors.

More offers

With our model, we also write more offers and close more deals than your average agent, giving you the opportunity to work with a top producing agent while also receiving significant savings.

Why choose Steve and EZ Agents

  • Triple Diamond Award Winner
  • 5 star reviewed on Google, Yelp and Facebook
  • Local, Experienced Agent
  • Colorado’s Biggest Commission Rebate

A modern approach to new home buying

You have three options when buying a new construction home

01

Navigate the process alone

Work directly with the builders agent and receive no representation. The builder pockets the commission.

02

Work with a traditional agent

Work with an agent that will help you understand and review the terms of the contracts. Agent keeps the full commission from the builder.

03

Partner with EZ Agents

Work directly with Steve Novak, Colorado's EZ Agent. Steve is Colorado's top producing discount buyers agent and will personally assist you throughout the new build process at no cost to you. At closing you'll receive a rebate of 50% of the commission we are paid by the builder.

If you are interested in learning more, call us today and we will make all the necessary arrangements prior to you meeting with the builder.

I worked with Steve, really a great Realtor and equally important a straight forward person. His model worked really well for me, he explained his model, how it works. I liked it from beginning and never regretted it. Highly recommended, satisfied customer.

It was an absolute pleasure working with Steve Novak at EZ Agents. His business model, where he rebates 50% of the buyer's agent commission, provides exactly as much service as needed, and doesn't waste the clients money. This is how buyer's agency should be run by everyone. I strongly recommend Steve Novak without any hesitation

Working with Steve went exactly as he said it would…  Steve did all the usual agent stuff like negotiate the offer, handle the paperwork, coordinate with the lender and title company, and walk you through the process. At purchase, his credit was applied to our closing costs. We used it to buy down points.

Finally a real estate agent that is buyer friendly. He makes the home buying process convenient and kicks back 50% of the commission. We got almost $11,000 back and it covered our closing costs and bought down points on the loan. Literally saved us a ton of money. A real innovator that is working within the 'rules of the old guard' that is inefficient and costly.

These days, you’re doing the research and finding listings you want to see anyway, so splitting the work (and the cost) makes sense. Seriously the best way to buy a home, and I plan on recommending Steve to everyone I know who is looking to buy.

10 stars! Best agent I have ever worked with and I have sold and purchased many homes with multiple agents. He helped me negotiate an amazing deal and YES, you will receive half of his commission!! This was amazing because I was able to purchase that new couch and table with the thousands it saved me and my family 🙂 Thank you Steve, you will definitely be my Agent for life!

What a great find! It’s nice to see a real estate firm changing the system to align with the way people shop for homes today. We got proactive notices every step of the way - these guys are on top of it! The best part was getting a rebate at closing that paid for nearly all closing costs! If you like to search for your own home, this is the only way to buy.

Probably the best buyers agent ever. He kept on top of everything, even though the sellers side had a few hiccups in the process. Not to mention the commission rebate that helped buy down my interest rate. That will end up saving me literally TENS of THOUSANDS of dollars over the life of the mortgage. Granted this is not my first real estate purchase, but I will never use a traditional buyers agent again. I'm looking forward to my next purchase and I willing be calling Steve when the time comes.

Steve is THE BEST realtor I have ever worked with. He is very attentive and he takes care of everything which is important to a potential buyer. Our move to Colorado was from a different state, but having him on our side from day 1 tremendously helped us. He always provided a great deal of input during writing offers , negotiation, inspection and closing stage which greatly helped us in making a timely decision. He is extremely knowledgeable and he definitely deserves more than what he charged us for his services.

My wife and I purchased our home with Steve and we couldn’t be happier. Steve always made himself available via phone and text, helped us navigate and overcome several challenging obstacles, and ultimately got us to a successful closing. His knowledge and advice was spot on and we always appreciated his expert perspective. If you’re buying a home and are looking to share in a portion of the agent’s commission, Steve is your guy; you won’t be disappointed.

The BEST agent (and way) to buy a home – Steve coached me through the process of buying a home and made the experience EASY. He took care of all the paperwork and helped set showings. Steve was always a phone/text away when I needed him. I could lean on his experience when making offers. He truly goes out of his way for his clients and stands out in a world where agents are rushing to get deals in. The fact that he splits the commission with you is the cherry on top… 11/10
