New Homes Florida site offers the Florida new home buyer 2.4% rebate on the new home price.
Avoid the number one new home buyer mistake. Don’t make the mistake of visiting a new home builder’s office without first letting the new home sales rep know that you have a Realtor. Without this phone call could cost you thousands of dollars! The biggest mistake new home buyers make is visiting a builder without an independent buyer’s agent or calling ahead and putting them on notice that you have a Realtor. When you sign the new home builder’s log without a Realtor present, you become the home builder’s client, and without an independent buyer’s agent representing you, you lose the ability to receive a legal commission rebate and will not receive any cash back. Federal laws prohibit new home builders from charging a different new home price if the buyer has a Realtor or not. The price of the new home is the same if you have a real estate agent or not.
Typically most new home buyers work with an agent that does not rebate or works without any agent. In both cases the new home buyer receives no rebate and the money is maintained by the builder.

Unfortunately, many new home buyers choose to work directly with an “in-house” sales agent employed by the builder. While these agents can help explain floor plans, pricing, and contracts, their primary loyalty is to the builder — not the buyer.
The builder’s sales representatives work for the builder and are responsible for protecting the builder’s interests throughout the transaction.
Knowledgeable home buyers often choose to work with an independent Realtor or buyer’s agent who represents the buyer’s interests during the purchase process.
As a real estate company, Sun Atlantic Group is typically paid a commission by the builder for introducing buyers and assisting them throughout the new home purchase process.
Instead of keeping the entire commission, we share a large portion of it with our clients. In many cases, eligible buyers receive 2.4% of the home’s purchase price as a rebate or cash back at closing.
If no Realtor is involved in the transaction, the builder or builder’s sales team generally retains the full commission amount.
Whether you use your own Realtor or work directly with the builder’s in-house sales team, a commission has typically already been budgeted into the home sale.
That means:
In many cases, buyers who do not use an independent agent receive no rebate or cash-back benefit, while the builder retains the full commission structure.
Builders often encourage buyers to work directly with their in-house sales representatives because it can reduce outside commission expenses and help maintain more profit within the company.
That’s why it’s important to contact your Realtor before visiting a builder or registering at a sales office.
