Negotiate smartly
Outshine other bids by letting the seller keep the amount over our flat fee. Win bids without any extra cost to you.
Cash after closing
Take your rebate home after closing. We swiftly ACH the funds to your account, 1099-free.
Cover closing costs
Use your rebate to pay allowable closing costs, including points that can save you thousands over the life of the mortgage and are tax deductible.
Reduce the sale price
Negotiate a lower sale price when the seller agrees. Everyone's costs go down.
