Buildwick Realty LLC, launched a new incentive for new home buyers in Georgia. Instead of only using the builder's agent for their new home purchase, now buyers can work with Buildwick Realty and receive a rebate of 1.5 percent, that's half of the company's commission. The builder gives Buildwick Realty 3.0 percent commission at closing, and they give their customers half that back in a rebate. This innovate approach is changing how new home construction is being purchased.

For example, on a $200,000 home, the customer would receive a rebate up to $3,000, and that's in addition to any incentives the builder is offering. The rebate can be used any way the customer chooses. It can be applied to closing costs, upgrades or received in cash. The purchase price of the home remains the same whether or not the customer has representation, and there's no cost to the buyer.

"With the use of the internet, home computers, and mobile devices, real estate is changing. Many home buyers prefer to search for a new home themselves wherever they are and whenever they want," says Reynold Massenat of Buildwick Realty, LLC. "The traditional real estate model is still playing by the old rules, but we at Buildwick Realty feel that home buyers should be rewarded for all of their efforts. By actively participating in the search for their new home, customers save us time and money, so we pass the savings on to them."
