Buy a Home. Get a Rebate at Closing.
One flat fee covers full buyer representation — 100% of the commission above it comes back to you as a rebate. In writing. Before you tour a single home.
CashBack Real Estate is structured around buyer clients. Our focus is finding you the right home at the right price — with your interests driving every decision.
We earn the same flat fee regardless of purchase price. That means we have no financial incentive to push you toward a more expensive home.
We keep our flat fee. Every dollar of buyer-agent commission above it is rebated straight back to you at closing — in writing, before you tour a single home.
How It Works
Three steps. Zero hidden fees. Everything locked in writing before you tour your first home.
Written Agreement First
Your Buyer-Broker Agreement specifies your exact flat fee tier and rebate amount before you see a single home. Required under California’s AB 2992 — and 100% in your favor.
Full Buyer Representation
Offers, negotiations, disclosures, inspections, appraisal management, and escrow coordination — licensed California broker service from offer to close.
Rebate at Closing
We keep our flat fee. You receive 100% of everything above it from the buyer-agent commission as a rebate credited directly on your settlement statement.

Why a Buyer-Dedicated Service Changes Everything
Most real estate brokerages work both sides — representing buyers and sellers under the same roof. That creates a built-in tension: when an agent is focused on moving listing inventory, buyers can become secondary. CashBack Real Estate is structured differently. This service operates exclusively for buyer representation, with a flat fee that stays the same regardless of purchase price. Our incentives are fully aligned with yours — finding the right home at the best price, not steering you toward a higher commission.
What Our Buyers Say
“We bought in Irvine and got $27,500 back as a rebate at closing. Flat fee, all remainder back to us, exactly as promised. No other agent even came close to this deal.”
“As a first-time buyer I was worried about being pushed into something I couldn’t afford. CashBack RE earns the same flat fee no matter the price — that alignment actually mattered.”
“Our $1.75M purchase put us in the $10K tier and we still got $33,750 back as a rebate at closing. Nobody else in LA even offers this structure.”

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about how the rebate works, how you receive it, and whether it’s legal — answered plainly.
How exactly does the rebate get back to me?
The rebate is delivered as a credit on your closing disclosure (settlement statement) — the official document you sign at close of escrow. It appears as a line-item credit that directly reduces your cash-to-close or closing costs. This is the cleanest and most transparent method, and it’s how CashBack Real Estate operates on every transaction. No confusion about where the money went. It’s right there in black and white at closing.
Is this legal in California?
Yes — 100% legal. California explicitly allows buyer rebates under Business & Professions Code §10176. The rebate must be disclosed in writing to all parties including your lender, which we do as standard practice on every transaction. It’s also disclosed in your Buyer-Broker Agreement before you tour a single home, as required under California’s AB 2992.
Does my lender need to approve the rebate?
If you’re financing the purchase, yes — your lender must be informed and approve the rebate. Most conventional lenders (Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac guidelines) allow buyer rebates but require that the rebate not exceed your actual closing costs. We disclose the rebate to your lender upfront so there are no surprises. Cash buyers have zero restrictions — the full rebate is credited with no lender involvement needed.
Do I pay taxes on the rebate?
Generally no. The IRS treats buyer rebates as a reduction in your home’s purchase price — not as income. This means no 1099 is issued and no income tax is owed on the rebate in most cases. Your cost basis in the home is simply reduced by the rebate amount, which becomes relevant only when you eventually sell. For primary residence buyers, this is typically a non-event. We recommend confirming with your tax advisor for your specific situation.
Can escrow disburse the rebate anywhere I choose?
No — and this is important to understand. Escrow is a neutral party that can only disburse funds according to signed escrow instructions agreed upon by all parties. The rebate must be properly disclosed in the escrow instructions, the purchase contract, and to the lender. That’s exactly how we structure it — everything documented, disclosed, and on your settlement statement as a closing credit.
How is everything disclosed and documented?
Before you tour your first home, your Buyer-Broker Agreement specifies your exact flat fee and rebate amount in writing. The rebate is then disclosed in the purchase contract, the escrow instructions, and on your final closing disclosure. Every number is locked in writing before you commit to anything. No surprises, no fine print.
