Buyers brokers have recently begun offering real estate commission rebates to prospective clients as an incentive to get them to enter a weak real estate market. Unbelieveably to some, the idea is gaining in popularity in some of the states where this practice is allowed. Traditionally, real estate commissions have been calculated at five to six percent of the sale price of a home and divided between the selling and buyer brokers. The seller is responsible for paying the entire real estate commission; the buyer pays nothing. Lately, though, buyer brokers have been giving a portion of their share of the commission to their clients in the form of a real estate commission rebate.
