Will IntelligentBuyer.com really send me a rebate check?

Yes it is true.  We mail you out a rebate check usually within two weeks of closing.  We will guarantee this in writing when we begin working with you.

Why do you give your clients a rebate?

We feel that it is time for a change in the Real Estate industry.  Real Estate buyers and sellers deserve more options than they currently receive from traditional real estate agent. Driving clients around, and helping them find a home is a very time consuming part of the process. So it makes absolute financial sense for us to charge less, since we are doing less.

O.K. so Intelligentbuyer.com is going to send me a rebate check.  How is your service?

Most of our clients come to us for the rebate check; they come back to us for our service.
Our agents are experienced.  We don’t hire sales people; we don’t want to talk you into anything.  Our main goal is your satisfaction.   You will receive a satisfaction survey after the transaction, so you can tell us how we can better meet your needs in the future.  In fact, it is not uncommon for one of our intelligent buyers to refer four or five of their friends and family members to us within a year of closing escrow.

Instead of issuing me a check at the end, will intelligent buyer pay my closing costs?

We would be happy to spend your rebate on your closing costs.  The only problem is that some lenders won’t allow us to.  Lenders feel that your ability to come up with your own closing costs reflects on your ability to pay your new mortgage.  For this reason we often have to reimburse you after the transaction.

Is there a cap on the amount of rebate I can receive?

No.  There is no cap.  We will pay you your full rebate no matter how high your commission check is.  Just to give you an example if you buy a $2 million dollar home (if we make 3% commission) we will mail you a check for $30,000 or more.

Can you help me get a loan?

Yes we can.  We know hundreds of loan officers with varying specialties.  We can help get you pre-qualified with the best rates on the market, and a loan officers that you can count on.  That being said, you don’t have to use a lender we recommend.  You can use any lender you want or just pay cash for your home.

Is there ever a situation where I would not receive a full 60% rebate?

Yes.  We have a minimum commission that we must make of $5000.  If the total commission from the seller is such that our commission will be less than $5000, we will take our $5000 and send you a check for the rest.  For instance if the total commission received is $6000, we would take our $5000, and send you a rebate for the remaining $1000.  This usually only happens is when the home you are buying is of a very low price, or if the commission is low for some other reason.

How do I earn 60% of the commission from the seller?

This occurs when when a buyer has already found the property they want and is ready to put in an offer.  Because the buyer has done the job of finding the property on their own we believe they deserve more of the commission.  Please remember that we still require a minimum commission of $5000.
