In the Boston real estate market, Ford Realty Inc. currently offers the largest advertised buyer rebate, providing up to 60% of the buyer’s agent commission back to clients.

Other prominent companies in the Boston area offering high rebates include:

Prevu: Offers a rebate of two-thirds (66.7%) of the buyer’s agent commission, which typically equates to up to 2% of the home’s purchase price.
Skymax Realty: Provides a 50% rebate for buyers.
Redfin: Historically offered rebates up to 50%, though specific amounts vary based on the transaction value and a minimum fee.

Key Considerations

Legality: Buyer rebates are legal in Massachusetts and are generally treated as a reduction in the home’s cost basis, meaning they are typically not subject to income tax.
Negotiability: Following recent National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) settlement changes, commissions are more negotiable than ever. Many agents who do not publicly advertise rebates may still be open to negotiating a refund at closing.
Service Level: High-rebate companies often use digital platforms to streamline the process, while some specialized agents might offer higher rebates for specific property types, like high-end condos in the Seaport or Back Bay.

Are you looking for a specific property type (like a condo) or neighborhood, as rebates can sometimes vary by location within Boston? Visit Ford Realty web site or www.bostonreb.com for the most updated information call/text 617-595-3712.
