我不太明白这个buyer agent的回复,帮我解释一下好吗?我给他写信,问的问题是“
As for the closing cost, is it possible to get lender/seller rebates to
cover it? If we work with you, will you be able to provide any commission
rebate?”
她的回复“Regarding a seller concession, if your loan allows for it (which
it likely would allow for up to 3%), then you can do that. Really it is
just the buyer financing some of their closing costs.
Ie. A house on the market for $275,000; you decide to offer the seller a “
net” of $265,000 but then you add on $7,000 (rounded off…not a full 3%,
for example) for closing costs. The contract shows as $272,000 less the $7,
000 for a 265K net. Your 20% down is calculated on the $272,000.
I can explain more when we get together.
Regarding a buyer agent commission, that is paid by the seller. When an
agent lists a house, there is a total commission that the seller agrees to
pay. The buyer agent gets paid out of that total amount. 99% of the time,
the “cooperating broker fee” is 2.5% of the sales price; a check gets cut
at closing out of the proceeds payable to the cooperating broker… in this
case, Prudential.

到底有没有rebate? 我越看越糊涂。请明白人解释一下
