Home buyers in the Atlanta area may find purchasing more affordable these days. Atlanta-based real estate agent Dennis Berdis is extending a cash home buyers rebate on all homes purchased through him.

(PRWEB) July 8, 2009 — There’s no question the current U.S. economy is challenging, and despite low real estate prices, prospective home buyers are feeling the pinch on closing costs. Atlanta real estate agent Dennis Berdis of Chapman Hall REALTORS® is sweetening an already favorable buyer’s market with a 1.5 percent cash home buyer rebate on purchases.

Offering Low Realtor Commission / Home Rebate for Qualified Buyers

Buyers can receive their home rebate either in cash or certified check rebate in an amount equal to 1.5 percent of the home price. Contrary to what many REALTORS® tell customers, there’s no prohibition on receiving a home rebate via certified check, Berdis said.

Individuals who purchase, for example, a $200,000 home through Berdis would receive a $3,000 home buyers rebate, which can be used at the buyer’s discretion.

“This home buyers rebate is paid out of the commission that I receive for representing the buyer in the home buying transaction,” Berdis said. “I pay a guaranteed rebate of 1.5 percent of the home purchase price to the home buyer. That is 50 percent of my commission being paid in cash to the buyer.”

Berdis, who can be found at AtlantaHomeSell.com, does not limit his customers on the number of homes they can see, and does not reduce the amount of the rebate for additional showings.

“We give the home buyers rebate on any homes listed for sale with any and all other REALTOR® firms, real estate companies, brokers and their REALTORS® or agents. The home rebate also applies to homes that are ‘For Sale by Owner.’”

The home buyers rebate is typically used by buyers to cover house-related expenses, but how the home buyers rebate is spent is not regulated.

“Your home buyers rebate could help you pay for home buying expenses. Use it however you wish,” Berdis said. “Some of our buyers have used the home buyers rebate we gave them to pay for moving expenses, home upgrades, new furniture, new appliances or closing costs.”

In addition to the 1.5 percent home buyers rebate, Berdis assists his real estate clients with discount listing services, and said customers appreciate his willingness to be flexible in order to meet their needs.

A misconception people have when visiting New Home subdivisions and looking for a home rebate is that they will get a “better deal” without a buyer agent since the marketing fee would not be split. However, this could not be further from the truth. The home builders need buyer agents (Realtors®) to sell their new homes. Statistics show that a vast number of new homes are indeed sold through buyer agents. Therefore, if you could get a better deal without a buyer agent, the builders would alienate themselves from the buyer agents. Call one of the new home subdivisions and ask them if the price of the home is the same with or without a buyer agent. Aske them if they give a new home rebate. In addition, National Fair Housing laws dictate that real estate fees paid to Licensed Real Estate Brokers cannot affect the purchase price of your new home.

How can you utilize a buyer agent (Realtor®) at no cost? It’s simple. With any New Home transaction.

(1) The onsite agent(s) agree to split their builder paid commission (marketing fee) with your buyer agent Dennis Berdis (this is called a Realtor co-op split) or

(2) The builder pays your buyer agent (Dennis) from their separate advertising fund. This is a form of advertising to home builders, as it encourages Realtors to bring their buyers to the builders’ new home subdivisions.Note:This fee is retained by the onsite agent(s) or builder if you don’t have your own buyer agent (Realtor®). It (The 3% Commission) is dedicated and/or allocated for the Buyer’s Licensed Agent. Be savvy and don’t let it go unused. This is where my home rebate in Atlanta comes in.
