Questions
Buyer Cash-Back FAQ
How much is the credit?
$250 for every full $250,000 of purchase price, up to $5,000. A $499,999 home earns $250, a $500,000 home earns $500, and homes at $5 million and up earn the $5,000 maximum.
Is there a minimum purchase price?
The credit starts at a $250,000 purchase price. Homes under $250,000 do not earn a credit.
Does it apply to new construction?
Yes. It all begins with registering John Brink as your agent before you sign in at the builder’s model center.
How is the credit paid at closing?
Your closing cost credit will appear on your closing statement. It can be used for anything you wish, including appraisal fees and other prepaid items, an interest rate buy-down, or anything else you’d like to use the money for.
Do I need to sign a buyer agreement?
Yes. Under the 2024 NAR settlement, approved by a federal court, all buyers must sign a written buyer agreement with a Realtor before touring any homes.
