How the Virginia Buyer Rebate Works
When you buy a home in Virginia, 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 Virginia 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 Virginia 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 Virginia
Buyer rebates are fully legal in Virginia. The Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation 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 Virginia 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 $475,000 Virginia home:
| Model | Buyer Pays | You Get Back |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Agent (2.5%) | $11,875 (from commission) | $0 |
| ShopProp Flat Fee | $1,995 | $9,880 |
