1) How much is the rebate?
Back To Top
Your
rebate is up to 2%
of the sales price of the home you purchase.
This is based on a standard transaction where the selling
agent (Houston Real Estate Discount Home) receives 3% of the
sales price as a commission. Houston Real Estate Discount Home
will issue back to our customers the up to 2% rebate within 7
days of closing or at closing if the builder allows us to
do so. A 3% commission is standard to the selling agent
but keep in mind it is possible that the commission could
be less. It is rare. In the event that the commission to
the selling agent is less than 3%, the rebate would be
prorated to up to 2/3 of the commission.
The rebate is based on the amount the builder bases
the commission on.
Some builders do not include upgrades into the sale
price for purposes of the commission.
2) What if my builder isn’t listed on your website?
Back To Top
Most Bellaire home builders will work with us. They want us to provide them with customers. Just call us or email us and inquire about any builder not listed on the link we provide.
3) Do all builders work with your rebate program?
Back To Top
Yes,
they do! Obviously,
they want buyers. We bring them buyers.
Please contact us with the name of your builder and
we will verify with them to make certain they work with us
and also verify the commission they pay to agents, which
in turn will enable us to give you a dollar amount you can
expect to receive as your rebate.
4) What do I need to bring with me when I go house hunting?
Back To Top
**After registering online, follow the
instructions to print your realtor's business card.**
Tell the on-site agent that you would like to register
with Citihomes Realty and your Realtor as the agent representing you.
Show them a copy of your realtor's business card. It is
best if you do this on your first visit with the builder,
but many times they will allow you to add Citihomes as your
Realtor as long as you haven’t signed a contract. Be
sure that you have registered with us and it is best if
you let us know where you plan to visit prior to doing so
and DEFINITELY before signing a contract with the builder.
5) What if I have already visited the subdivision or the builders sales office?
Back To Top
You
may very well still be eligible for our program as long as
you haven’t already signed a contract with the builder..
It is best though to register with us and let us know what
area you’re interested in prior to visiting. Homebuilder
policies vary from site to site. Please contact me by
phone or email and I will be happy to check
for you.

Katy, Medical Center, Downtown, Copperfield, Sugar Land, ect...
6) What if I’m working with another real estate agent?
Back To Top
It’s possible that you may be eligible for our program if
you have not entered into an Exclusive Buyers Agency
Agreement with the agent. If you have done so you would
have to wait until that contract has expired. If you have
not signed any contracts with another agent and they have
not registered you with the builder then you are indeed
eligible. If you have questions about eligibility, please
do not hesitate to contact us by phone or email.
7) How do I know I will receive my rebate?
Back To Top
We
are licensed and governed by the state of Texas.
We
don’t mess with Texas! We have a contractual agreement
with rebate form holders who follow the instructions we
give them. Just a few simple steps. We must pay you the
rebate once the property closes and we receive our
commission from the builder. Funds for your rebate come
from the commission paid by the homebuilder. Once you have
an agreement to purchase a home and you have submitted all
required information, we will issue you a statement giving
you the exact dollar amount of the rebate that you can
expect with certainty to receive upon the successful
closing of your property.
Houston Real Estate Discount Home and
Citihomes Realty is committed to putting the money
back in the hands of you, the buyer and help you realize
your dream of buying a new home. We are here to assist you
every step of the way. Please contact us by phone or email
with any questions or comments you may have.
We will be glad to answer any questions you may
have!
