How the King County Buyer Rebate Works
When you buy a home in King County, the seller typically offers a buyer agent commission — usually 2% to 3% of the sale price. With a traditional agent, they keep the entire commission. With ShopProp, we charge a flat fee starting at $1,995 and rebate the difference directly to you at closing.
On a $850,000 King County home with a 2.5% buyer commission ($21,250), your rebate would be $19,255. The higher the home price, the bigger your rebate.
Every ShopProp buyer in King County works with a managing broker — not just a solo agent. That means higher expertise, better negotiation, and full-service representation at a fraction of the cost.

King County is the economic heart of Washington State and the Pacific Northwest. Home to Seattle, Bellevue, and the Eastside tech corridor, it's where Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Google maintain major offices. The county's median home price hovers around $850,000, but luxury communities like Hunts Point, Medina, and Clyde Hill routinely see sales above $3 million.
From the urban energy of Seattle's Capitol Hill and Ballard to the suburban excellence of Sammamish and Issaquah, King County offers diverse real estate at premium prices. ShopProp's flat-fee model returns thousands — sometimes tens of thousands — to buyers across every King County market.

Why Buyer Rebates Are Legal in King County
Buyer rebates are fully legal in Washington. The Washington Department of Licensing permits agents to rebate a portion of their commission to buyers. The U.S. Department of Justice actively supports commission rebates as pro-consumer and pro-competition.
Despite this, most agents don't offer rebates because it cuts into their income. ShopProp was built differently — our flat-fee model is designed from the ground up to pass savings to you.
