Since Zillow hides their FSBO (For Sale By Owner) listings on their secret tab, most buyers won't see it. Not to mention, most buyers still use agents to help them find their home - and agents don't use Zillow. That's why it only makes sense to list on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service).
We have 2 savvy ways to list - "Limited Service" (aka "Flat Fee") and Full Service with a twist - CASH BACK as a commission rebate from SavvyRebates! Either way will save you thousands. It just depends on how much you want to do yourself and how much you want an agent to do for you.
With a limited service (Flat Fee) listing, it's 100% DIY style. You save 1/2 the commission because you're signing up to do all the work a full service agent would normally do for you. It's a great fit for the super-SAVVY seller that wants to get their hands dirty to absolutely MAX their savings. Here's what you get:
6 month listing
25 pictures in MLS (taken by you)
Realtor.com listing
Zillow.com listing (on the real home page, not hidden in the secret tab)
Posting on 100's of the most popular Real Estate websites out there
Buyer leads are sent from your agent directly to you
Free listing changes
Free contracts and forms
Cancel any time - no cancellation fee
If you decide to go to our Full Service option at any time, be sure to sign up with us so we can give you thousands back as a commission rebate
With full service, you can choose ANY agent out there - they all take referrals. Simply complete our no-commitment online form. We'll have the agent(s) reach out to you within 24 hrs, come out to your house and get you listed on the MLS in no time. After you close on your home, we give you a HUGE commission rebate! See the calculator below to find out how much. Here's what you get:
CMA (Comparative Market Analysis) to help price your home
Photo shoot (by agent or photographer)
Broker yard sign
Key lockbox
Showing Service (Showing Time, Broker Bay, etc.)
Agent handles communication
Agent handles negotiations
Agent drafts all contracts
They handle EVERYTHING for you every step of the way - it's Full Service
You get thousands back as a commission rebate from us!
Buying or selling a home is expensive when you add up down payment, closing costs, and agent commissions. We help recover some of that by giving you a rebate from our commission.
Let us refer you to virtually ANY agent out there, and we'll cut you a HUGE check after closing. It's THAT simple.

"This is too good to be true. What's the catch?" We hear that a lot... We promise, there is no catch. It's just free money you wouldn't have if you instead went straight to the Realtor(s) we refer you to.
Use Any Realtor
We can refer you to any Realtor in any state, whether you need to purchase real estate or sell it! Have someone in mind? We can refer you to them, too - as long as you haven't already contacted them.
Nationwide Coverage
We cover the entire USA. In the 10 states that don't allow commission rebates, (see map below) we have a couple savvy ways to legally get you the same amount you would have received as a rebate from us.
No Commitment
To get started, all we need is basic info. If you decide a commission rebate is not for you, you're free to use another agent. If you don't like who we referred you to, we can also refer you to another agent.

Cost Calculator with given id doesn't exists.
If your home is more than $3M, your savings will keep proportionally growing. We had to stop the calculator somewhere. Calculations assume 3% listing commission.
“I used SavvyRebates to purchase my home and I'm so glad I did! As soon as it was done, they promptly provided the cash rebate. I couldn’t be happier with this experience, and I’ll definitely use them for future real estate transactions. Thank you!”
Myolin Kyaw
Received a $3,929 Buyer Rebate
"I have used SavvyRebates for both selling and building a new house. Best decision I have ever made. They gave reward cash through bank as soon as my builder's check for his service as realtor was cleared. I couldn't be happier with this rebate, and I will use them for future purchases/sale of property. Thank you so much!"
Edward Freeman
Received a $4,050 Buyer Rebate
"We received a $4,050 rebate on a new home. There is no other way to go, in my opinion, when purchasing a home. Unless you want to leave money on the table, or in an agent's pocket, instead of yours. We wil use SavvyRebates for every house we buy from now on."
Everybody loves free money!
See for yourself...

Does my state allow commission rebates?
If your state is green, then you're in luck - we can give you a commission rebate! If your state is grey, then it does not allow commission rebates from agents.
But WAIT... We can still help you!
Instead of giving you commission rebate, we have 2 Savvy options:
1. For Buyers... We'll negotiate with the Realtor we refer you to and have them reduce their commission by 1/2%, then have the Seller give you a concession (i.e. - closing cost credit) for the same amount, which would've been your exact rebate from us.
2. For Sellers... We'll just negotiate with the Realtor we refer you to and have them reduce their commission by 1/2%. (i.e. - instead of them charging you 3%, it'll only be 2.5%)
Need a better explanation? Feel free to initiate a chat with us and we'd be happy to explain it further.
Sign up using our short form below. We can refer you to just about any agent out there - every agent loves referrals! We can even refer you to multiple agents who you can interview and choose who you like the best.
2. Search
The agent(s) we refer you to will reach out to you to get more details about what you're looking for. If you're interviewing several, now's the time. Once you've signed with one, they'll show you any property you'd like to see, make offers for you, etc.
3. Close
Once you're under contract, your agent will handle the transaction and get you to closing. About a week or so after you close, we'll send out your rebate via check or digital payment.
Which way is best?
(rhetorical question)
Old Way
You call Sally Realtor, your local kick-butt agent. Then:
You meet with Sally
Sally shows you homes
Sally writes offers
Seller accepts your offer and agrees to pay Sally's commission
Sally handles everything for you - orders inspections, writes up repair requests, orders titlework, deals with lender, writes amendments, addendums, anything you need
You finally get to closing, bringing a check for closing costs and down payment
You get keys to your new home, Sally gets a fat commission check
SAVVY Way
You sign up here and tell us you want to use Sally Realtor, the same local kick-butt agent. She's delighted to take our referral and reaches out to you promptly to get things started. Then:
Everything happens just like in the “Old Way”, plus...
You get a HUGE check from us to help offset your costs
You call Sally Realtor, your local kick-butt agent. She's happy to help you find what you're looking for. She's writes an offer, the Seller accepts and agrees to pay Sally's commission. You bring a ton of money to closing to cover your down payment and closing costs, but get nothing after closing but the keys to your new home.
Savvy way...
You sign up here and tell us you want to sign up with Sally Realtor, the same local kick-butt agent. She's delighted to take our referral and reaches out to you promptly to get things started. She helps you find what you're looking for, writes an offer, the Seller accepts and agrees to pay Sally's commission. You still bring a ton of money to closing to cover your down payment and closing costs, but now, in addition to the keys to your new home, you get a huge check from us after closing to help replenish your accounts.
There's no commitment. If we refer you to an agent and you end up not liking them, we can refer you to another, or as many as you need us to until you find a good fit. Of course, if you'd rather not get free money from us after closing, you're also welcome to not use anyone we refer you to. The choice is yours. We're simply here to help put some money back into your pocket!
