A Reward on Your Home Purchase
You're spending enough on your house—get some of that back! Buy a house with Home Rewards and receive up to 20% back of your real estate agents' commission.
Get More Than Cash Back: Get a Team
When you sign up with Home Rewards, you are paired with a certified real estate agent and a BECU Member Advocate. Just like any VIP looking to make things happen, you've now got the support on your side that helps you go from house-hunter to home-buyer.
You are paired with an Advocate who stays with you through the process. They are available to answer questions, match you with a realtor, and offer additional program benefits. Your Advocate acts as a liaison between you, the realtor, and your mortgage advisor.
You're also paired with a local, knowledgeable certified real estate agent, provided by Prime Alliance Real Estate Services. Together, your real estate agent will help you scour the market to negotiate you into that dream home.
