For Buyers

Buy your next home
and keep the commission.

In Alberta, sellers pay 100% of all real estate commissions. NEX RE takes that further — we return 50% of what we earn right back to you at closing.

The Rebate Explained

Where your
money comes from

When you buy a home in Alberta, the seller pays the entire commission— typically 7% on the first $100,000 and 3% on the balance. That's split between the seller's brokerage and the buyer's brokerage.

As the buyer's brokerage, NEX RE receives its portion of that commission. Instead of keeping all of it, we give 50% back to you at closing, applied as a credit on your Statement of Adjustments.

When you buy a NEX RE-listed property, we earn both sides of the commission. In that case, we return 100% of the buyer-side portion — roughly double a normal rebate.

The rebate is a brokerage-wide incentive approved by the managing broker under RECA rules. It is available to all eligible buyers and is not a personal offer from an individual agent. Rebate may have tax implications; consult your accountant.

The process

How to get
your rebate

Five steps from first call to the moment your lawyer credits your rebate on the Statement of Adjustments.

Start with step 01
  1. 01

    Book a free conversation

    Call 403-909-2722 or use the contact form. Meet with Sunny to discuss what you're looking for, your timeline, and your budget. No commitment required.

  2. 02

    Sign your BRA

    Before we write any offer, you sign an Exclusive Buyer Representation Agreement. This is the document that locks in your rebate and establishes NEX RE as your buyer's agent.

  3. 03

    Search the market together

    We search the full MLS® and notify you when a property matches your criteria. We arrange showings, provide neighbourhood info, and evaluate every option.

  4. 04

    Make your offer

    When you find the right home, we prepare a competitive offer, negotiate on your behalf, and guide you through conditions, inspections, and paperwork.

  5. 05

    Close and collect your rebate

    At closing, your lawyer applies the rebate as a credit on your Statement of Adjustments. It reduces what you owe at closing — your mortgage is untouched.
