Are Commission Rebates Legal in Nevada?
✅ Yes, commission rebates are fully legal in Nevada.
Real estate commission rebates have been legal nationwide since 2002, and Nevada specifically allows them. Here's everything you need to know about the laws and regulations.
Federal Law: RESPA and Commission Rebates
The Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA) governs real estate transactions and commission structures. In 2002, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) issued a policy statement clarifying that commission rebates to buyers are legal and do not violate RESPA.
The key distinction is that rebates come from the agent's commission, not from kickbacks between service providers. When a buyer's agent shares their commission with the buyer, it's a legal rebate, not an illegal kickback.
Nevada State Law
Nevada has no state laws prohibiting commission rebates. The Nevada Real Estate Division allows licensed brokers to offer rebates to their clients. Our license (Nevada Real Estate Broker, License #S. 23213, LPT Realty LLC) permits us to offer these rebates legally.
What Makes a Rebate Legal?
- Transparency: All rebates must be disclosed in writing in the purchase agreement
- Licensed Broker: The rebate must come from a licensed real estate broker
- Commission Source: The rebate comes from the agent's commission, not from other parties
- No Conditions: The rebate cannot be conditional on using specific services (except the agent's own services)

Common Misconceptions
"Rebates are illegal kickbacks"
False. Kickbacks are payments between service providers (like a lender paying a realtor). Rebates are payments from an agent to their own client, which is legal.
"Only some states allow rebates"
False. Commission rebates are legal in all 50 states. Some states have additional disclosure requirements, but none prohibit rebates.
"Rebates reduce service quality"
False. We work with the top 5% of Las Vegas agents. The rebate comes from the commission, not from reducing service quality.
