How the Michigan Buyer Rebate Works
When you buy a home in Michigan, 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 $1,000,000 Michigan home with a 2.5% buyer commission ($25,000), your rebate would be $20,005. On a $2,000,000 home, you'd get $45,005 back. The higher the home price, the bigger your rebate.
Every ShopProp buyer in Michigan 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.

Why Buyer Rebates Are Legal in Michigan
Buyer rebates are fully legal in Michigan. The Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs 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 Michigan 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.
How It Compares to Traditional Agents
On a $350,000 Michigan home:
| Model | Buyer Pays | You Get Back |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Agent (2.5%) | $8,750 (from commission) | $0 |
| ShopProp Flat Fee | $1,995 | $6,755 |
