Cash Back?
Absolutely! We introduce you to vetted cash back realtors who offer a cash back incentive on the successful closing of your home sale or purchase when you engage them as your agent.
Who It’s For
Both buyers and sellers. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or buying your first place, our cash back real estate program helps with moving costs, legal fees, furnishings, or even your next investment. And a bonus for your community too!
What It Costs
$0. Our service is 100% free to you. We're up front and transparent throughout the entire process, so it's a win win for everyone. We’re paid a small referral fee by the agent’s brokerage after your deal closes.
Cash Back Program With Purpose: Giving Back
Premier House Cash Back created in Victoria BC matches local home buyers and sellers with trusted realtors who offer real estate cash back at closing, that you can use to cover legal fees, moving costs, and more!
You choose your cash back up to 35 Basis Points, and we'll direct any remainder to a local school, charity, or non-profit. We focus on smaller organizations that are often left out because of little or no marketing funds, or in-house fundraising staff. If you have a special place in mind for the donation, we'll do our best to accommodate your request. It’s a simple way to save on your move while supporting the city we love.
Our mission is straightforward: make moving more affordable and make giving back easier. Your cash back and any donation are confirmed in writing by the participating brokerage. We’re a free referral service paid by the brokerage after your transaction so there’s absolutely no extra cost to you.
Use the Premier Cash Back Calculator to see your numbers in real time. Slide your percentage and watch the difference automatically allocate to local causes. Our trusted community partners are school PACs (field trips, music, sports and more) and youth programs to clothing and food security for local families and animal rescues, helping cover pet adoption fees for families. An additional favourite among donors is helping to cover the cost of birthday parties for children that otherwise couldn't afford one.
- Transparent: amounts are agreed in writing before you sign.
- Local first: we focus on Victoria-area brokerages and community groups.
- No pressure: explore options and only commit when you’re comfortable.
FAQ
Is cashback guaranteed?
Cashback is available through participating brokerages/agents and must be confirmed in writing before you sign. All the agents we refer are proud participants of our program. Amounts can vary by price point, cooperating commission and other factors.
Do I pay anything?
No. Our referral service is 100% free to you. We’re paid a small referral fee by the brokerage after closing, which we help use to cover our costs to operate and continue to research and match up quality service oriented agents.
My agent laughed and said “I don’t work for free” when I asked about cash back. How does this work?
We agree! No one works for free. Our partner agents still earn their commission, you receive up to 35 bps (35 basis points) as a thank you closing credit or post-closing payment where permitted, and a local organization wins too.
Buying or selling can be overwhelming. We’ve already vetted dozens of top agents who wholeheartedly support our project - often for personal reasons including the desire to give back - so you don’t have to start from scratch.
Do you only work with one brokerage? Can agents apply to join?
We partner with agents from many different brokerages. Participation is by invitation only. We hand-select agents based on track record, client reviews, responsiveness, local expertise, and willingness to honour our cash-back program.
Unlike most other referral services whose model is built on recruiting as many agents as possible, we don’t accept random applications or pay-to-play agents.
Buyer or seller? Who qualifies?
Both. We work with programs suited to buyers or sellers, depending on your situation. And better yet, if you're buying and selling, you may possibly receive cash back for both transactions!
What areas do you cover?
Victoria and surrounding communities (Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, Langford, Colwood, Sooke, Sidney & the Peninsula), and proudly expanding across BC and Canada.
What if I already have an agent?
Our program is for new matches only. If you’ve already signed an agency agreement or are working with an agent, we can’t step in just to provide incentives. If you’re not under contract, we may be able to help. Tell us your timeline and we’ll confirm options in writing.
Do I get my cashback in cash?
Cashback is typically provided as a brokerage cheque, a reduced selling commission (most preferred by sellers) or a variety of other methods, depending on brokerage policy. The method and timing (at or after closing) are confirmed in writing before you sign.
Compliance: Incentives must comply with provincial regulations and brokerage policies. This promo may end at any time, and/or cash back rates may change without notice, so contact us today! Your agent will provide required disclosures and terms.
