If I am your real estate agent for the
purchase of a Texas New Home, then
your Texas New Home Rebate starts at
2.5% of the base price.
That's 83% of all my
commission!
My New Home Rebates in Houston, Texas don't max out at 2%... they start at 2.5% and go as high as 5%! |
So how do you get a 3%, 4% or 5% New Home Rebate in Texas?
Sometimes...for various reasons the Buyer's Agent receives more than the standard 3% commission from the Builder (this is called a Bonus). If that is the case with Stuart as your Agent then you will receive 83% of that Bonus also. Add that on to my standard Rebate and you are getting to 3 and 4% real quick. In exceptional cases you could receive 5 to 6%. Read it well. I am NOT saying "up to" such and such amount. Nothing is held back or hidden. No games or undisclosed deal between me and the Builder. There is full disclosure provided by the title company. It all shows up on the final settlement statement when the property closes. At the best, my commission will be 1/2%; maybe a little less or maybe a little more....but it is basically 1/2%!
Special Note!

Why it is crucial that Texas New Home Buyers get independent inspections?
My New Home Buyers are required to listen to this 2 part NPR report about Texas Builders and the TRCC and the "arbitration clause" within the Builder's Contract that you will be signing. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=102453061 |

So.....Why does Stuart Give So Much Back to the Consumer ?
I started giving Texas New Home Rebates in the Summer of 2004 for one reason; the amount of time and work involved in doing new home sales was minimal. A friend called me and asked me to be his "cash back Real Estate Agent" on a new house that he wanted to buy. He had already picked out a home and had already negotiated his deal. The price was $96K. His only problem was that he needed more cash to pay closing costs. Since the salesman for the Builder had no more flexibility to give my friend more closing cost contributions he suggested the "new home cash back" idea. So my friend called me and proposed that all I had to do was agree to be his Agent and give back the two percent for closing costs. I would make 1% less the $125 transaction fee that I give to my Broker. I had not seen this friend for at least two years so it was like money falling out of the sky. All I did was sign some papers with the Builder, accompany the Buyer to the final walk-through, smooth out a small problem concerning the closing date, and go to the closing (which I always do). I made $835 on that transaction.
One of my associates said that he would "NEVER do a transaction and make so little money". At first I felt a little guilty but then I thought about how much time and effort I put into the deal and said to myself "I'll do these deals all day long. I was fairly compensated for my time". So I started telling everyone I knew about what I was doing and Texas New Home Buyers started responding.
My Real Estate Commission Rebate is not for everyone. Some Buyers want to ride in a Traditional Real Estate Agent's Lexus and go see all the different new houses and new home communities accompanied by an agent. And if you want to pay a real estate agent thousands of dollars to do that then that's fine. Other Buyers think that they can negotiate the Agent's 3% and his Bonus (if there is one) off the price of their new house. And if you think you are smart enough to do that, then more power to you. But the better Builders won't and don't practice those tactics. They can't afford the risk of encouraging consumers not to have proper representation nor the risk of alienating the Real Estate Agents that bring them 70+ percent of their Buyers. It's just not in their marketing structure.
I can guarantee this to every New Home Buyer: You will receive a minimum of 83% of any and ALL my cash commissions paid by the Texas new home Builder and I put that in writing in the "Buyer's Representation Agreement" with you. In addition you will gain my experience in whatever negotiating possibilities might exist with any particular Home Builder or New Home community.
Some New Home Builders pay Stuart a higher commission in the form of a "Bonus" because he sells multiple homes in any one year. That means YOU the buyer can receive a 3%, 4%, 5% New Home Rebate.... even a 6% rebate in some cases(new construction inventory homes). Nothing is held back or hidden. Of ALL cash commissions paid to the Realtor, YOU will receive 83% of all those monies.
In almost all New Home transactions Stuart ends up making 1/2%... and he's happy with that because YOU the Buyer do most of the work.
Will Stuart do a commission rebate on a used or resale house? YES!
Under certain conditions, in Houston only, he will do a 1% to 2% (33 to 66%) cash back real estate commission rebate. You must be pre-qualified for a mortgage or have cash and the home search must be narrowed down to a single community. The basic principal is still in place....the Buyer does the work.... the the Buyer gets a reduction in the price of this Texas Real Estate Agent's services.
