New Construction Home Buyer Guide: Get Your Rebate

⚠️ Don't buy new construction without a rebate agent.

Builders pay huge commissions (3-4%) when you buy directly from them. Most buyers go unrepresented and lose thousands of dollars. Here's how to get your share.

The New Construction Commission Secret

When you walk into a builder's sales office, they're prepared to pay a 3-4% commission to a buyer's agent. If you don't have an agent, that commission stays with the builder. That's money that should be yours.

Why Buyers Go Unrepresented

  • Misconception: "I don't need an agent for new construction"
  • Builder Sales Tactics: Sales reps may discourage bringing an agent
  • Lack of Awareness: Most buyers don't know about rebates

The Truth About New Construction

Even with new construction, having a buyer's agent provides value:

  • Negotiate upgrades and design credits
  • Review contracts and addendums
  • Coordinate inspections and walkthroughs
  • Handle closing details
  • Get a cash rebate at closing

Builder Closing Cost Contribution Limits

Some builders offer closing cost contributions, but these are often limited and may reduce your negotiating power. Our rebate is separate and doesn't affect builder incentives. You can get both.

How It Works

  1. Contact Us: Before visiting any builder, get in touch with us
  2. We Assign an Agent: We'll connect you with a top Las Vegas agent familiar with new construction
  3. Shop Normally: Your agent accompanies you to builder sales offices
  4. Get Your Rebate: When you close, you receive 0.5% cash back

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Visiting builders without an agent first: Once you register with a builder, it's harder to add an agent
  • Thinking you don't need representation: Even new construction benefits from professional guidance
  • Accepting builder incentives as enough: You can get both builder incentives and our rebate

Real Example

You're buying a $500,000 new construction home from DR Horton. The builder pays 3% ($15,000) to a buyer's agent. Without an agent, that money stays with the builder. With our program, you get $2,500 cash back at closing—and you still get all the builder incentives.

Bottom Line

New construction doesn't mean you should skip having a buyer's agent. In fact, it's one of the best opportunities to get a rebate because builders pay higher commissions. Don't leave money on the table—get your rebate.
