California buyer rebates save the most money in the country — because California home prices are the highest. In September 2026 alone, four Bay Area families working with ShopProp's managing broker saved a combined $122,395 at closing. Here are the numbers.
San Jose — $46,380 Saved (September 17, 2026)
3357 Michelangelo Dr, San Jose, CA 95135. ShopProp flat fee: $7,995. A traditional buyer agent would have charged $54,375. The buyer kept $46,380 — enough to furnish the entire home and still have money left.

Why California Buyer Rebates Are the Largest in the Country
California's high home prices make the flat-fee advantage enormous. On a $1.5M Bay Area home, the typical 2.5% buyer agent commission is $37,500. ShopProp charges a flat fee starting at $1,995 — and the rest comes back to you. That gap does not exist with percentage-based rebate companies, which still charge a percentage of the sale price.
ShopProp's managing broker model means you get Rob Luecke — 19 years, 4,000+ transactions — overseeing your deal. Not a referral. Not a junior agent. The actual managing broker reviews disclosures, handles negotiations, and coordinates closing.
California has allowed buyer rebates since the NAR settlement made commission structures transparent. Your lender applies the rebate as a closing credit.
