In most states it is legal for consumers to negotiate commissions with their buyer broker. This can result in a commission rebate of thousands of dollars. 10 states still ban this practice through "licensing" laws even though the Department of Justice has taken a strong stance in favor of these consumer rebates.

We are a non-profit volunteer public charity dedicated to empowering real estate consumers and we need your help on this issue. Please visit our website for more information on this www.caare.org and please sign our petition. Thank you.
