How Virginia Buyer Rebates Work After the NAR Settlement
The 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer agent commissions work, but Virginia adapted quickly. Sellers still commonly offer buyer agent compensation. When you use ShopProp, the math is simple: the seller pays the offered commission, ShopProp keeps a flat fee ($1,995 starting), and the difference goes back to you.

ShopProp vs Virginia's Rebate Competition
- Flat Fee Group: Percentage-based fee despite the name. Returns less than ShopProp's flat-fee model
- GoToFSBO: Primarily a seller FSBO service. Buyer rebate is an add-on
- Glass House RE: Local to Fairfax — limited coverage vs ShopProp's statewide license
