These homes come with exclusive opportunities designed for those who connect with us directly.

3% Seller Credit: How It Can Support Your Home Purchase

Homebuyer allowance, closing assistance, buyer credit, seller allowance -- it goes by many names, but we call it a seller credit. No matter what you call it, the idea is simple: we want to create an easier path to homeownership. By helping with upfront costs like closing fees or realtor expenses, the Empire Homes 3% seller credit lets future homeowners focus on finding the perfect home without getting bogged down in the details. There are MANY ways the 3% seller credit can be used, but here are a few of the more popular options:

  • Realtor fees: Supporting the invaluable work your realtor does throughout the transaction! Like having a personal guide through the wilderness of real estate but without the survival gear.

  • Closing costs: This includes title insurance, loan origination, and other necessary fees. We don't like them any more than you, but they come with the territory.

  • Cash back: Who doesn’t love a little cash in hand? This can help cushion the financial landing after closing, making it easier to splurge on essentials—or maybe just a well-deserved takeout dinner!

  • Appliances: Binging The Bear and dreaming of a sleek new fridge or a state-of-the-art oven to elevate your cooking game? The seller credit can help you add those must-have appliances that transform your house into a Michelin restaurant.

No matter how it's used, the important takeaway from the 3% seller credit is allowing future homeowners to focus more on finding a home that meets their needs, with the confidence that some of the financial logistics are already accounted for. The 3% seller credit enhances the overall value of your home purchase. It’s not just about savings—it’s also about creating a smoother path to homeownership. By taking advantage of this credit today, homebuyers can navigate fluctuating interest rates with greater ease and confidence

Honoring Realtor Commissions

Recent changes from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) have sparked some conversation about how buyer agents get paid. While some companies have adjusted their practices, Empire Homes is proudly a pro-realtor company and will continue to honor the 3% real estate commission for buyer agents. Understanding the important role that experienced realtors play in guiding homebuyers through the process, sticking to this commission structure ensures that agents can focus on what matters -- looking out for their client’s best interests without any financial stress. A knowledgeable realtor is an invaluable partner in finding the right home.

We believe it’s essential to maintain this commission level when it comes to new construction homes. If the commission drops below 3%, there are instances when buyers have to cover the difference, which can lead to unexpected costs. By honoring the 3% commission, we help ensure that everyone involved can focus on finding the perfect home without any added worries.
