Leslie Lerner Properties offers buyers a unique, rebated, money-saving commission structure when purchasing a home. When buying a home, purchasers can save money in the following ways:
Leslie Lerner Properties understands that technology has provided us with greater opportunities to shop for real estate listings online, visiting various websites featuring MLS listings. With this in mind, we have created a tiered compensation schedule that will save you money by doing some of the legwork yourself. This is how it works for homes over $200,000:
ONE (1) – THREE (3): If we work with you on 1 to 3 homes during the time we represent you and you fall in love with one of the homes, we will rebate 1.5% of the Buyer’s Agent fee / compensation back to you on the final settlement statement at closing.
FOUR (4) – SIX (6): Sometimes it takes a little bit more time to find something you can’t live without, so if we don’t find the diamond in the rough within the first three homes, but we succeed by the sixth home, we will rebate 1% of the Buyer’s Agent fee / compensation back to you on the final settlement statement at closing.
MORE THAN SIX (6): Rarely does this happen since we can eliminate so many houses by studying the online information, but if we end up working with you on more than six houses during the duration of the house hunting process, you will not be eligible for a rebate.
*These rebates are based upon the Listing Agent and/or Seller offering a 3% Buyer’s Agent fee / compensation. Please inquire for more information.
Clients participating in the Leslie Lerner compensation rebate program will be provided the same first-class, friendly service as someone not receiving a rebate. A Buyer/Tenant Representation Agreement will be signed prior to any home showings. We are happy to represent all buyers, but clients referred by other agents and/or relocation companies requesting a referral fee will not be able to participate in the rebate program.
