Whether you are buying your first home, relocating to the East Bay, purchasing an investment property, or upgrading to a luxury property, Bay Area Home Rebate helps buyers keep more money in their pocket.

Alameda County remains one of the Bay Area’s most desirable regions because of its strong job market, diverse communities, top-rated schools, commuter access, and long-term property appreciation. The county includes many of the Bay Area’s most popular cities including Fremont, Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, Newark, Union City, Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda, and Castro Valley.

What Is a Buyer Rebate Program?

A buyer rebate program allows eligible home buyers to receive a portion of the buyer agent commission back at closing.

In many Alameda County real estate transactions, the seller offers compensation to the buyer’s agent. Bay Area Home Rebate shares a portion of that commission back with eligible buyers.

Buyer commission rebates are legal in California and continue becoming more popular throughout the Bay Area housing market.

Example Buyer Savings

If you purchase a $1,500,000 home in Alameda County and the seller offers a 2.5% buyer agent commission:

• Total buyer agent commission: $37,500
• Eligible buyer rebate may be approximately: $18,750

That money is yours and can be used for:

• Closing costs
• Lowering your interest rate
• Furniture and appliances
• Moving expenses
• Home upgrades
• Savings or investments

Many buyers are surprised they can actually receive money back after purchasing a home.
