Why ShopProp Offers the Biggest Rebate

Flat Fee, Not a Percentage

Most brokerages charge 2–2.5% of the purchase price. ShopProp charges a flat fee from $1,995 (under $700K) to $7,995 (over $2M) at the lowest tier. The higher the price, the bigger your rebate.

Your rebate doesn’t come with less service. ShopProp provides complete buyer representation — property tours, market analysis, offer strategy, negotiation, inspections, and closing coordination.

Managing Broker Expertise

Rob Luecke, managing broker with 19 years of experience and a background in construction and finance, oversees every Emeryville transaction. This isn’t a referral service — it’s hands-on expertise.

Transparent & Proven

Over 4,000 transactions since 2007. Every rebate is disclosed on the closing statement. No hidden fees, no surprises — just the biggest buyer rebate in Emeryville.
