Home buyer rebates in Maine
Maine does not prohibit buyer-agent commission rebates, so the standard Step 2 rebate script applies. Individual brokerages may still decline or cap rebates by internal policy. Commission structures have shifted following recent national real-estate settlements, so rebate availability always depends on your state's regulations and your broker's own agreement. Confirm the terms in writing before signing a buyer-representation agreement.
What to do in Maine
- Cap the buyer-agent fee at 1.5% using the Step 2 script.
- Direct the rebate to a permanent rate buydown in Step 3.
- Confirm the rebate appears on your closing disclosure.
