Resale homes · New construction
Looking for a REALTOR® who offers buyer commission rebates? You’re in the right place. Whether you’re buying a resale home or a brand-new home, let’s discuss a rebate based on your purchase and the commission our brokerage receives.
SHANE LEE · Limvesting Realty
Rebates require the sponsoring broker’s and represented client’s written consent. Builder, lender, and closing restrictions may apply.
Commission is a conversation
Commissions are fully negotiable. For your home purchase, we’ll discuss representation, compensation, and any proposed buyer rebate, then put the agreed terms in writing.
Your needs, the work involved, and the terms of your transaction shape the options we discuss. Rebate arrangements require the appropriate brokerage approvals and written consents.
Rebate options for home buyers
Resale home buyers
Shane’s buyer rebate comes from a portion of the commission his brokerage receives. For a seller-funded rebate, the seller or listing broker must agree to pay buyer-broker compensation, and that commission must be paid under the agreed terms.
New-construction buyers
Builder policies may include rebate limits or other conditions for a specific home or community. Contact Shane before visiting or registering online so we can check agent participation, registration, and any rebate restrictions.

Discuss my new-home rebateKnow how the program works
Availability, amount, timing, and permitted use depend on the specific transaction and written agreement. Discuss your situation before relying on a rebate.
For Shane’s seller- or builder-funded buyer rebate program, agreed compensation must be paid to the brokerage. The seller is not required to offer buyer-agent compensation. If that compensation is not paid, the rebate funded from it cannot be provided.
Confirm the sponsoring broker’s written consent, the represented client’s written consent, and the rebate agreement before payment. The amount, conditions, and timing should be clear for your transaction.
Ask us to review the builder’s written policies for the specific home and community, including any rebate limits, registration requirements, and agent participation conditions.
If you’re using a loan, confirm the permitted amount and use of the rebate with your lender and title company. The arrangement must be disclosed accurately and must not mislead anyone involved in the transaction.
Before your first builder visit
At your first consultation in each builder’s sales office, tell the sales representative that Shane Lee with Limvesting Realty represents you and have Shane registered as your REALTOR®. Arrange to visit together whenever possible; some builders require your agent to accompany you on the first visit.
Missing the builder’s first-visit requirements can mean the builder declines to pay the brokerage’s commission, even if you try to add your REALTOR® later. Without that commission, Shane’s builder-funded rebate cannot be provided.
