Which thank-you gift
would you like at closing?

Costco benefits are not available through Lending Tree.com *Rebates are not available in all areas. Real Estate Agent Services are administered by Lending Tree and are available in all states in which Costco operates except for Alabama, Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Ne w Jersey. Must use an agent participating in the program.** 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. Costco and its affiliates do not list or sell homes.

Flowers are nice. But nothing says welcome home like cash. Costco members who buy or sell a home through this program receive a rebate after closing from Lending Tree for example, $2,000 on a $300,000 home.** Executive Members also receive a $100 Costco Cash Card. Plus, choose from top local agents from companies you know and trust.
