Sample rebate is based on a 6% commission based on a 50/50 split between the buying and selling agent. Actual rebate is calculated based on actual commission percentage and home price. Be sure to verify with your real estate agent what the commission percentage is on your transaction as this will affect the amount of your rebate. • For a full rebate schedule, state restrictions, state licenses, disclosures and applicable terms and conditions, go to costco.com and click on Services.
