Educational website
The website, calculators, guides, examples, and communications provide general educational information. They are not legal advice, tax advice, financial planning, an appraisal, a loan offer, a commitment to lend, an insurance quote, or a guarantee of property condition, value, appreciation, savings, or transaction outcome.
No agency relationship from website use
Using the website, submitting a form, or communicating with the program does not by itself create a real estate brokerage, fiduciary, attorney-client, lender-borrower, or other professional relationship. A real estate agency relationship is governed by the applicable disclosures and written agreement with the identified licensed brokerage or agent.
Reward eligibility and amount
The stated program formula is 25% of the commission actually received by the participating brokerage, up to $20,000. No reward is earned merely by submitting a property, receiving an estimate, touring a home, signing a contract, or obtaining loan approval. Final eligibility requires successful closing, receipt of eligible commission, satisfaction of written program terms, brokerage approval, and compliance with applicable law and transaction requirements.
Compensation is not standardized
Real estate commissions and other compensation are negotiable and vary. The program does not represent that any fixed commission is customary, required, or offered on a particular property. Examples are hypothetical unless expressly identified as a completed verified transaction.
Payment method and disclosure
The approved Homebuyer Reward is intended to be applied first as a disclosed credit toward eligible closing costs, prepaid items, or other amounts permitted by the lender and settlement agent. The credit and the party providing it must be disclosed on the applicable closing documents when required. If the approved reward exceeds the amount permitted at closing, any remaining amount may be delivered after closing only when permitted by applicable law, lender and investor requirements, settlement procedures, brokerage policy, and the written program terms. The program does not promise an undisclosed side payment or guarantee that an amount exceeding permitted closing credits will be available. Any amount that cannot legally or contractually be delivered may be reduced or unavailable.Existing representation and builder relationships
Existing buyer agreements, agency relationships, prior introductions, property tours, builder registrations, and procuring-cause facts can prevent participation. The program does not authorize breach of contract or interference with another brokerage relationship.
Calculator limitations
Calculator results depend entirely on user inputs and programmed assumptions. Taxes may change after transfer or reassessment. Insurance, mortgage insurance, rates, fees, dues, maintenance, appreciation, investment returns, rent increases, and selling costs can differ materially. Extra principal payments do not change the contractual mortgage rate. The interest-cost equivalent rate is a comparison metric only.
Property and third-party information
Property information may come from public records, user submissions, licensed data providers, listing links, or third parties. Records can be incomplete, delayed, or incorrect. Verify material facts through appropriate professionals and original sources.
Availability
The program may not be available in every jurisdiction, market, property type, or transaction. Participating professionals are independent licensed persons or firms responsible for their own services. The program may modify, suspend, or discontinue availability where necessary.
Fair housing and equal service
The program supports equal professional service without discrimination based on any characteristic protected by applicable fair-housing or civil-rights law. Users and participating professionals must not request or use the service for unlawful discriminatory purposes.
Professional review encouraged
Consult an appropriately licensed lender, real estate professional, attorney, accountant, tax adviser, insurance professional, inspector, appraiser, or other expert regarding matters within that professional’s field.
Agent network selection
Agent applications are competitive. Minimum experience or education thresholds do not guarantee acceptance, territory, exclusivity, lead volume, or continued participation. The program may verify information, limit market capacity, waitlist or decline applicants, and review participation based on service, compliance, performance, and business needs.
