Washington Buyer Rebate | Get Up to $123,005 Back at Closing

Q: How much can I get back with a buyer rebate in Washington?

The amount depends on the home price and the commission offered by the seller. On a $1,000,000 Washington home with a 2.5% buyer agent commission ($25,000), ShopProp charges a flat fee starting at $1,995 and rebates up to $20,005 back to you at closing.

How the Washington Buyer Rebate Works

When you buy a home in Washington, 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 Washington 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 Washington 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 Washington

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 Washington 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

Model	Buyer Pays	You Get Back

Washington Real Estate Markets

Washington State's real estate market is driven by the booming Seattle metro area — home to Amazon, Microsoft, Boeing, and a thriving tech ecosystem.

Eastside (Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond): The Eastside is one of the most expensive markets in the Pacific Northwest. Medina, Hunts Point, Clyde Hill, and Yarrow Point are among the wealthiest zip codes in America. ShopProp's flat-fee model saves buyers tens of thousands here.

Seattle: From Capitol Hill to Greenlake to West Seattle, the city offers diverse neighborhoods at premium prices. Buyer rebates make Seattle homeownership more achievable.

South Sound & Tacoma: Tacoma, Puyallup, and University Place offer more affordable alternatives to Seattle while still commanding strong prices. Every dollar back helps in a competitive market.

Beyond the Metro: Bellingham, Anacortes, and the San Juan Islands in the north; Spokane and the Tri-Cities in eastern Washington — all served by ShopProp's buyer rebate program.
