A buyer’s agent on your side of the table.

Cash back at closing returns a portion of the buyer-side commission Good Public Group earns to the buyer, credited on the closing settlement statement wherever the lender permits.

• Source: a share of the buyer-agent commission Good Public Group earns on the purchase.
• Form: a documented credit on the closing settlement statement, not a vague discount.
• Timing: applied at the closing table, where the buyer’s lender allows commission credits.
• Setup: the exact structure gets mapped to the purchase on a call before an offer is written.

Lender guidelines govern how a commission credit applies — some direct it toward closing costs, others set a cap — so Good Public Group structures each rebate to fit the specific loan and settlement before the buyer commits.

A buyer is not required to have an agent. Going unrepresented means the listing agent, or a builder’s in-house representative, works for the seller — leaving the buyer without independent advocacy.

• Comparables: a buyer agent runs independent comparable-sales analysis, separate from the seller’s pricing.
• Negotiation: a buyer agent negotiates inspection findings and repair credits.
• Discipline: a buyer agent holds price discipline from offer through signed contract.
• Cost: buyer representation is typically funded through the transaction, not out of the buyer’s pocket.

An unrepresented buyer negotiates against a licensed professional contractually bound to the seller. A dedicated buyer agent restores balance. See exactly what a buyer agent does →

The 2024 National Association of Realtors settlement requires buyer-agent compensation to be negotiated and put in writing before showings, rather than assumed from the listing side.

• Before: the listing broker typically set buyer-agent pay, and buyers assumed it by default.
• After August 2024: buyer-agent compensation is negotiated directly and documented in writing up front.
• Effect: the fee is transparent, giving buyers clear leverage over the cost of representation.

The settlement decoupled buyer-agent pay from the listing. For buyers, a hidden standardized fee becomes a transparent, negotiable one — and Good Public Group credits a share of that compensation back where the lender allows.

A builder’s on-site sales representative works for the builder, and builder contracts favor the builder. Independent representation puts an experienced advocate on the buyer’s side for upgrades, lot premiums, and timelines.

• Whose side: the model-home representative is paid by, and represents, the builder.
• The contract: builder agreements are written to protect the builder’s interests.
• The cost: buyer representation on new construction typically costs the buyer nothing extra.
• The value: a buyer agent negotiates upgrades, lot premiums, incentives, and construction timelines.

Most builders budget for buyer-agent compensation and pay the same whether a buyer brings representation or not, so declining an agent forfeits advocacy without saving money. More on builder purchases →
