Every listing shows your estimated rebate.
The green number on each home is what could come back to you: the buyer-broker fee (typically 2 to 3%) minus our flat $9,750. No other search shows you this, because no other brokerage gives it back.

Some homes make you fall in love the moment you arrive. This is one of them. Step inside, and the calm is immediate. Light spills through vaulted, beamed ceilings, the blue of Monterey Bay fills every window, and every detail feels deliberate, as it should be. Modern without trying too hard, elegant without feeling formal. Built in 1938 on land once part of Claus Spreckels' Aptos Rancho, this home carries a rare thread of history, long before Rio became the neighborhood it is today. Living spaces flow easily indoors to out, anchored by a white brick fireplace and timeless finishes. Glass doors open onto covered patios and a striking tiled fireplace, made for long dinners and evenings watching the bay change color. Beyond, a spacious backyard offers space for whatever you dream up. A detached structure at the rear offers potential: an ADU, a guest retreat, a studio, an office. The bedroom is a quiet luxury, set beneath vaulted ceilings with soft light through picture windows. Two closets offer effortless storage, and the room feels serene, private, and impeccably finished, a true retreat at day's end. Minutes from Seacliff Beach, Aptos Village, and Nisene Marks, this is more than a beautiful home. It's an invitation to slow down and remember how good coastal living can feel.
