Home buyers or sellers are not eligible for Cash Rewards if they use an agent outside this network. Cash Rewards amounts are dependent on the commissions paid to the HomeAdvantage network agent.

If you are obtaining a mortgage, your lender may have specific rules on how Cash Rewards can be paid out. Cash Rewards are available in most states; however, are void where prohibited by law or by the lender. Example of Cash Reward amount shown is 20% of a 3% realtor commission on an average home sale price in the DC area of $500,000. Your agent commission rate may differ. Please consult with your lender for details that may affect you.
