Questions
How does the buyer rebate program work?
As buyer agents, we receive standard commissions from sellers then share a portion back to clients at closing through legally disclosed agreements. The exact amount depends on the property price and commission structure.
Are rebates legal in Florida real estate?
Yes, Florida Administrative Code 61J2-10.028 permits real estate rebates when properly disclosed. Our program complies with all state regulations and includes written agreements for transparency.
Do rebate programs reduce service quality?
No - our fees come from seller-paid commissions, so services remain unaffected. Clients receive full representation including contract negotiations, property inspections, and closing assistance without additional charges.
How do I qualify for rebates?
For MLS properties, we must be the first agent to show the interior. For new homes, we need to register you with the builder before any deposits or contracts. Complete terms are available in our disclosure documents.
What markets do you serve?
We specialize in Central Florida including Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Lake, and Polk counties. Our primary service areas cover Orlando metropolitan region, Walt Disney World vicinity, and major suburban developments.
Is there a cost for buyer agent services?
No - our services are free to clients through seller-paid commissions. The rebate program provides additional financial benefits without affecting our compensation structure or service standards.

Sean Popat came highly recommended from my coworkers. In fact, I think he has his own complete circle of clients that are all from our organization. He certainly has earned all the referrals that he's received. He was such a joy to work with, which made the stress of house-hunting far more bearable. The company's method of being your real estate agent is slightly different than the norm in that they will provide you with a lengthy list of houses that you will then be expected to go through. Once you've made your selections, they'll take you to view the houses. They will most
