Is Cash Buyer Bonus Legal

Yes, it absolutely is. The biggest criteria is that the buyer is assisting us in the search for their home. Something which most home buyers are doing anyway. After all, how many times have you searched on Realtor.com or some other real estate website looking at homes? Have you driven around neighborhoods trying to see where would best fit your lifestyle? Been going to Open Houses in areas that interest you? We are betting that you've probably said Yes to all of the above. Hence, you are assisting us with finding your new home. In return for this assistance we can offer you a Cash Buyer Bonus as long as it is disclosed to all parties...including your mortgage company. That is exactly why our Cash Buyer Bonus program is designed around the number of homes we show you. The less home we have to show you before buying the home of your dreams, then it is assumed you have done much of the legwork yourself. Once we get involved you have probably already narrowed your search down considerably and we simply need to find the 'right' home and then assist you with the negotiation and making sure it really is the right home for you.

You may have heard that "rebates" are illegal - and it is simply not true in Georgia as long as you are assisting with your home search. See here what the Department of Justice has said about Commission Rebates.

When talking to your mortgage company we suggest you go ahead and tell them about the potential of your receiving a Cash Buyer Bonus and if there are any further requirements they may have in terms of paperwork or disclosures.
