New Home Construction Buyer Rebate Program

1% Commission Rebate on New Construction

All major home builders incorporate the real estate commission into the price of each new home. They do not offer any concessions, rebates, or allowances directly to buyers without an agent. Consequently, whether a buyer engages an agent or not, the final cost of the home remains unchanged, and the salespeople receive the same commission, regardless of agent representation. Therefore, the choice of having an agent or not doesn’t affect them. If you choose Rob Marchitti as your representing agent when purchasing your new home in Las Vegas, I’ll gladly provide you with a 1% rebate from my commission!

How it works?

New Construction Homes

Buying a new home can be a wonderful experience. Knowing that the home was built to the latest building codes and energy efficiency standards, being able to personalize the design of the home along with being the first person to live in the home, can all be quite exciting!

Eligibility

In order to be eligible for the new home commission rebate, you have to establish a buyer agency agreement with Rob Marchitti as your Buyer’s Agent BEFORE your first trip to the home builder. This process is very simple… just contact Rob Marchitti via email at robjmarchitti@gmail.com or via phone at (702) 527-9277 and I will email to you the agreement that will establish this relationship. This ‘protects’ your new home rebate and also gives you the peace of mind in knowing that a licensed Nevada real estate agent is providing guidance along the way, representing your best interests from contract to closing. All representation will be done by phone / text and email, unless the builder requires Rob Marchitti in-person participation on your initial visit to the New Home Development.

When can I start looking at New Homes in Las Vegas?

Prior to your FIRST VISIT to the new home subdivision or development, simply contact Rob Marchitti via email at robjmarchitti@gmail.com or via phone at (702) 527-9277. Keep in mind that this offer may be void if you have previously visited the new home subdivision or development and registered with an on-site sales counselor or agent (unless the builder will waive their policy). 

I am ready for the Home Builder to write a contract for me to sign… what shall I do?

You will want to ensure that Rob Marchitti is listed as the Selling Broker (aka Buyer’s Agent) within the contract or on any addendum to the contract BEFORE you sign it. This will help ensure that we get paid, and you get your commission rebate! Once the contract has been signed by the Builder, please provide a copy to me so I can follow through on the contract-to-closing process.

Are commission rebates legal in Nevada?

Absolutely. Commission Cash rebates are legal in Nevada when consent is provided by the client’s (principles) we serve and rebates are disclosed properly. Commission rebates are an important competitive tool, that are beneficial to consumers. Open and free business competition, in general, is the basis for the American economy and is protected by both state and federal anti-trust and consumer protection laws. Consumers would be well advised to visit the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) website to understand the many Federal law enforcement efforts taken to prevent or prosecute restraint of trade or commission price fixing within the real estate services industry. If you feel your right to competitive real estate services were indeed by anti-competitive industry practices, resulting in a loss or reduction in an agreed commission rebate, please leave a complaint with the DOJ. Consumers do have legal recourse against harmful anti-competitive business conspiracies within the real estate services sector that result in higher than negotiated consumer services costs. In the United States, any business conspiracy that results in a restraint of free trade, consumer price fixing, and or works to impose a boycott on competitive businesses have been deemed illegal and subject to anti-trust laws.

Can I get a check or cash for the rebate at close of escrow?

Unfortunately no. This practice is considered unethical in our industry. I can only rebate the funds through escrow with a credit on the settlement statement. You can use the credit towards closing costs, points, options, prepaid HOA dues or anything else that your lender will allow if you are financing the property. This essentially means you bring less money to closing. IMPORTANT: My rebate does not effect any concessions or incentives the builder may be offering.

Why do I have to sign a Buyer Broker’s Agreement?

This document solidifies my buyer representation and is an essential part of getting paid a commission which results in a rebate to you.

Does it cost anything for me to participate in this program?

No, I do not charge you anything for this service.

Is this program only for new construction homes?

Yes, either standing inventory new builds or dirt-builds.

What geographical areas does this program cover?

The program covers Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, Henderson, Boulder City and Pahrump Nevada.

How can I use the new home rebate?

• Credit towards your closing costs (if your Lender will allow);

• Apply it towards additional upgrades in the new home (if your Home Builder will allow); or

• Taking it off the bottom line of your sales price after the lowest negotiated price (if your Home Builder will allow).

Is this program for everyone?

Yes, everyone purchasing a new construction home can take advantage of this program.

Are there any restrictions to this offer?

• You must NOT be represented by another real estate agent through a written agreement;

• You must be accompanied by Rob Marchitti with AGENT Connect Realty on your FIRST visit to the new home community and registered with an on-site sales counselor. On rare occasions, the sales person will allow you to designate a real estate agent you are working with. I will call the community and make those arrangements prior to your initial visit. This offer may be void if you have PREVIOUSLY visited the new home subdivision or development and registered with an on-site sales counselor or agent (unless the builder will waive their policy);

• The purchase contract for your new home (or any addenda) must reflect Rob Marchitti on it as the Selling Broker (aka Buyer’s Agent);

• The Home Builders that you are working with must agree to pay at least 2.5% of the sales price in commission to Rob Marchitti with AGENT Connect Realty. If the commission is less than 2.5%, then your new home rebate amount will be reduced incrementally. (Ex: If the New Home Builder pays a 2.0% commission (which is ½% less than 3%), then the new home rebate to you will be reduced by .25% 

• The new home rebate must be approved by your Lender and the Home Builder and must also be reflected on the Settlement Statement at the time of closing.

• If you're making a cash payment for your new home, you have the flexibility to utilize your rebate for various purposes such as covering closing costs, reducing the home price, pre-paying HOA fees, investing in upgrades or appliance packages.

• Rest assured, you will retain all exclusive promotional pricing, discounts, closing credits, free alternatives, or any other incentives offered by the builder. I'm committed to ensuring you receive all incentives, including rate buy-downs and any additional discounts available for new construction.

7.FINALLY, select a desired model and reserve an available lot of your choice with an earnest money deposit that a builder will require. If you are financing the property, you will then be asked to get pre-qualified by one of the builder's in-house lenders. This is standard protocol since the builder wants to confirm that you are able to purchase the property. Any builder incentives are usually tied to you using their preferred lender for your loan. Once they get a green light from the builder, you will go to contract with the builder.

8. Prior to closing, I will instruct the assigned escrow company to credit you 1%  of my commission. You can use the rebate towards closing costs, options, prepaid HOA fees or whatever your lender may allow.  I will sign off on the rebate back to you and email you a copy for your records prior to closing the transaction. The rebate will appear as a credit (Good as cash money) on the final settlement statement.  **1% rebate is eligible only when the builder pays at least 2.5% cooperation to the buyer's agent.**
