Buy new construction with a buyer’s agent that credits you thousands at closing.
Most buyers don’t realize the home price is the same whether they have a buyer’s agent or not — but builders pay buyer’s agents 2–3% commission. Buy without one, and you forfeit thousands in potential rebate. Sign with Sakan as your buyer’s agent before visiting communities, and we credit most of that commission back to you at closing — typically $5,000–$10,000 on a $500,000 home.
1–2% rebate
Most of the builder commission, credited to you on your Closing Disclosure.
Full representation

We show the agreement, the math, the disclosure, and our sources.
The mistake most new construction buyers make
Most new construction buyers walk into a model home, fill out the visitor sheet, and unknowingly forfeit thousands of dollars in representation. The clipboard at the front desk triggers a rule called procuring cause — once you’ve signed in, the builder considers themselves the party that found you.
When that happens, any buyer’s agent you bring in later can be refused commission entirely. No commission to the agent means no rebate to you. The builder keeps the full amount.
On a typical $500,000 Triangle home, that’s $5,000–$10,000 quietly redirected from the buyer to the builder. The fix is simple: sign with us before your first community visit.

How it works
Sign before you visit
We sign a buyer agency agreement before you tour any new construction community. This protects your rebate eligibility from the start.
We register with the builder; you tour with full representation
We contact the builder before your first visit to register as your agent, or we attend your first walkthrough with you. Either way, the builder pays our co-broker commission.
Close and keep most of it
Sakan takes a flat 1%. Everything beyond that — typically 1–2% of the commissionable amount — appears as a closing credit on your Closing Disclosure.

Estimates are based on typical Triangle-area new construction transactions. Actual rebate depends on (1) your builder’s co-broker commission policy, (2) your lender’s approval of the closing credit, and (3) final contract terms. Sakan Properties confirms exact eligibility and amount before any buyer agency agreement is signed. Rebates appear as a credit on your Closing Disclosure in accordance with NC Real Estate Commission rules.

See exactly where the rebate shows up
Your rebate appears as a line item on Page 3 of your Closing Disclosure under “Other Credits” — a real line on a real document your lender approves before signing. We’ve prepared a sample Closing Disclosure showing exactly where it appears and what the math looks like. No marketing fluff; just the document.
