How California Rebates Work Post-NAR Settlement

Since August 2024, California buyers must sign a buyer-broker agreement before touring homes. This makes agent fees explicit and negotiable for the first time. ShopProp flat fee — $1,995 to $7,995 depending on purchase price — replaces the traditional 2.5% commission and returns the difference as cash back at closing.

With 170 California closings and counting, ShopProp has the largest verified track record of any flat fee brokerage in the state. Every transaction includes managing broker Rob Luecke (19 years, 4,000+ deals) reviewing disclosures, negotiating price, and managing closing.
