Buyer Bonuses

The Cascade Team Buyer Rebate & Negotiating Advantage

Thinking of buying a home? Here’s a novel concept….. We’ll actually pay YOU part of our commissions back at closing! That’s right! We pay you for the privilege of helping you find the home of your dreams. Because of the tools and the breadth of information we provide our clients through our web site, they participate in the process by finding homes they are interested in. If you are doing some of the work, shouldn’t you share in the commission? Instead of spending money on brick and mortar buildings that no one visits, we provide our clients online tools and keep our overhead low so we can pass some of the savings along to you. Because of this, on average our clients last year received a credit at closing of ….

You Get Your Credit At Closing

Your buyer bonus appears on your HUD-1 statement at escrow and can be applied to closing costs, rate buy down or prepaid items. Lenders do not allow you to apply this towards your down payment because the money is not seasoned in your personal account. However, in most cases this reduces the amount of money you have to bring to closing, so it’s just like cash in your pocket. In addition, this credit is tax free.

Save More When You Sell With The Cascade Team

If you have a home to sell, you save even more. Rather than paying 3% of the home price to a traditional brokerage, our full service listing service representation is only 1% of the selling price. We still recommend that you offer the traditional 3% to the agent who brings the buyer; but that still results in a savings of 2%. On a $500,000 home, that would be a $10,000 savings.
