Real estate commissions in Santa Clara can total 5% of the home price — that’s $85,000 on a $1,700,000 home split between two agents. The buyer’s half ($42,500) is paid from the transaction but traditionally kept entirely by the buyer’s agent. ShopProp charges a flat fee from $4,995* and rebates the remaining commission — up to $37,505 — back to you at closing.
* Buyer fees range from $4,995 to $7,995 depending on service tier. All tiers include managing broker involvement.
The seller funds a buyer’s agent commission of ~2.5% ($42,500 on a $1,700,000 home). This is standard in Santa Clara real estate transactions.
Instead of keeping the full commission, ShopProp charges a flat fee from $4,995 for full buyer representation — tours, analysis, negotiation, and closing.
The remaining $37,505 is returned to you at closing as a commission rebate. It’s disclosed on the settlement statement — fully transparent.
| Brokerage | Their Fee | Your Commission Rebate |
|---|---|---|
| Traditional Agent | 2.5% ($42,500) | $0 |
| Redfin | ~$29,749 | ~$12,750 |
| TurboHome | $7,500 | $35,000 |
| ShopProp | from $4,995* | up to $37,505 |
* Buyer fees range from $1,995 to $7,995 depending on service tier and price range. All tiers include managing broker involvement. See full tier details below.
The math is simple: the lower the agent’s fee, the bigger your rebate. ShopProp’s flat fee from $4,995 means up to $37,505 goes back to you on a $1,700,000 Santa Clara home. No other model returns more.
Your commission rebate doesn’t mean reduced service. Market analysis, property tours, offer strategy, skilled negotiation, inspection coordination, and closing support — all included in every tier.
ShopProp has been providing commission rebates since 2007 — longer than most competing brokerages have existed. Every rebate is documented, disclosed, and legally compliant.

A real estate commission rebate is when your buyer's agent returns a portion of their commission to you at closing. In Santa Clara, the standard buyer's agent commission is 2.5% ($42,500 on a $1,700,000 home). ShopProp keeps a flat fee from $4,995 and rebates the rest — up to $37,505 — directly to you.
With ShopProp, you can receive a commission rebate of up to $37,505 on a $1,700,000 home in Santa Clara. The exact amount depends on the commission offered by the seller (typically 2.5%) minus ShopProp's flat fee (from $4,995 to $7,995 depending on service tier).
Generally, buyer rebates at closing are treated as a reduction in the purchase price — not as taxable income. Consult your tax advisor for your specific situation. ShopProp's commission rebate is disclosed on the settlement statement for full transparency.
