No, the availability of rewards for participating in our program varies by state due to local laws and regulations. Here is a summary of where and how these variations apply:
-
Prohibited States: Unfortunately, rewards are not available in Alaska, Iowa, Louisiana, and Missouri due to state law restrictions.
-
Alternative Benefits for Sellers: In Mississippi, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Oregon, while a direct reward may not be available, sellers have the option to benefit from a reduced agent commission. This alternative must be discussed directly with your agent upon enrollment in the program.
-
Restrictions for Buyers: Buyers will not be eligible for rewards in Mississippi, Oklahoma, and Oregon. In New Jersey, buyers may have the opportunity to receive a commission credit instead of a reward. This option requires a discussion with your agent upon enrollment and must be included in a Buyer Agency Agreement with Rebate Provision.
-
Specific Conditions in Kansas and Tennessee: In these states, rewards are provided via gift card. Specifically, in Kansas, the reward is fixed at $1,000, regardless of the property's sale price.
Despite these state-specific regulations, participants in our program benefit from:
- Faster closing times with HomeStory agents compared to non-network agents.
- Access to an exclusive network of agents, each vetted for their experience, local expertise, and transaction history.
- Dedicated concierge support for any assistance needed throughout the process.
These benefits are designed to enhance your home buying or selling experience, providing expert guidance and support tailored to your unique needs.
