Full representation, managing broker expertise, and nearly two decades of experience included.

A $72,005 rebate on a $3,200,000 home in Palo Alto is real money that makes a tangible difference in your home purchase:
Closing costs in Palo Alto typically run 2–3% of the purchase price. Your ShopProp rebate can cover a significant portion, reducing your cash needed at settlement.
Apply your rebate toward mortgage points. Even a small rate reduction saves thousands over the life of a 30-year loan on a $3,200,000 home.
A larger down payment means a lower monthly payment, better loan terms, and potentially avoiding PMI. Your rebate gives you more flexibility.
Use the credit toward renovations, furniture, or whatever you need for your new Palo Alto home. It’s your money — you decide how to use it.
