Is this a buyer rebate, commission discount, or commission rebate?
Buyers use a few different terms — a commission discount, a “buyer rebate,” or a “real estate agent commission rebate for buyer” — but they all describe the same outcome: a way to save on the buyer-agent commission. What you actually receive with Roman is a closing cost credit applied on your settlement statement at closing. He charges a flat fee and negotiates buyer-agent compensation as a seller concession in the RPA, so the difference above the flat fee is credited to you — subject to seller agreement and lender approval.

Who pays the buyer’s agent commission in Los Feliz, California?
In California, the buyer’s agent commission is negotiable and is set in your written buyer representation agreement. Since the 2024 rule changes, sellers are not required to offer buyer-agent compensation, though many sellers in Los Feliz still do. When a seller does offer it, Roman’s flat fee applies — $7,250 under $1.5M or $9,250 at $1.5M and above — and any amount above that flat fee can be returned to you as a closing cost credit on your settlement statement, subject to seller agreement and lender approval.
How can I avoid paying the full 2.5% buyer’s agent fee in Los Feliz?
Instead of a percentage, Roman works as a flat fee buyer agent and flat fee realtor in Los Feliz, charging a transparent $7,250 under $1.5M or $9,250 at $1.5M and above. When the seller offers buyer-agent compensation higher than that flat fee, the difference is credited back to you as a closing cost credit on your settlement statement — subject to seller agreement and lender approval. It works differently from a typical discount real estate broker, because you still receive full, dedicated buyer representation.
Can I hire a flat-fee agent just to write an offer on a Los Feliz Village home?
Yes. Whether you’ve already found a Los Feliz Village home or want help from the first showing, Roman provides complete representation — writing and negotiating your offer, handling contingencies and escrow, and coordinating your closing — for the same flat fee. You can also negotiate the buyer-broker agreement fees with him directly before you begin your search.
How do I negotiate buyer-broker agreement fees in California?
California's buyer representation agreement (the BRBC) states the agent's compensation as a maximum, and the amount and structure are negotiable between you and your agent before you sign. With Roman there is nothing to haggle over: the fee is a flat $7,250 under $1.5M or $9,250 at $1.5M and above, stated up front as the maximum from any source. When a seller offers buyer-agent compensation above that flat fee, the excess becomes your closing cost credit on the settlement statement. Review the fee, the term length, and the scope of service before signing, and get the flat-fee structure in writing.
What are my commission options in a California buyer representation agreement?
Under a California buyer representation agreement you can generally agree to pay your agent a percentage of the purchase price, an hourly rate, or a flat fee. Roman uses a flat fee — $7,250 under $1.5M or $9,250 at $1.5M and above — disclosed as the maximum compensation from any source. If the seller offers buyer-agent compensation greater than the flat fee, the difference is applied as a closing cost credit on your settlement statement in Los Feliz, subject to seller agreement and lender approval.
How does a buyer commission rebate work in Los Feliz?
Buyers in Los Feliz often search for a “commission rebate” or “buyer rebate,” but what you actually receive is a closing cost credit on your settlement statement at closing — not a cash payment. Roman negotiates the seller-offered buyer-agent compensation in the purchase agreement; when it exceeds his flat fee ($7,250 under $1.5M or $9,250 at $1.5M and above), the difference is credited to you at closing, subject to seller agreement and lender approval. “Closing cost credit” is the accurate, compliant description of how a commission rebate works in Los Feliz.
