About RebateAZ

RebateAZ is a buyer rebate program for Arizona home buyers, run by licensed Arizona real estate agents with HomeSmart, one of the largest brokerages in the state. We represent buyers with full service, and part of the commission the seller or builder pays comes back to the buyer as a credit at closing.

How the Rebate Works

• Your agent keeps 1.5% of the purchase price (minimum $4,500).
• Everything the seller or builder offers your agent above that is credited to you at closing, up to 2% of the price.
• The rebate is written into your buyer agreement, disclosed to your lender, and shown on your Closing Disclosure.
• You can use any lender and any title company.
• The current program runs through December 31, 2026.

Where We Work

We help buyers across the Phoenix metro, with most of our clients buying in Phoenix, North Phoenix, Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert, Tempe and Scottsdale. Buying somewhere else in Arizona? Ask us, and if we are not the right fit we will tell you.

How We Research Our Numbers

Our market pages use public records, not estimates from listing sites:

• Home sales: Maricopa County Recorder affidavits of property value, which report the sale price and how the buyer paid (cash, conventional, FHA, VA). Our current pages use single-family and condo sales from September 2025 through August 2026. We reload the county sales file monthly.
• New construction: we identify the builder from the seller named on the deed and keep homes built in 2024 or later. Community names come from the county subdivision plat.
• Loan rules: the Fannie Mae Selling Guide, HUD's FHA guidance, and VA guidance, checked on the date shown on each page.
• Rebate math: the commission offered to the buyer's agent, minus 1.5% of the price (minimum $4,500), up to 2% of the price.

We exclude sales under $100,000, multi-parcel sales, and land, and we report medians rather than averages so a few very large sales do not skew the numbers. If you spot something that looks wrong, email [email protected] and we will check it.
