Who qualifies

The Cashback Rebate is for HOMEH buyers; sellers get a 1% listing fee, or list free when they also buy with HOMEH within 6 months, or $395 + HST with a Mere Posting. If you complete an eligible home purchase with HOMEH acting as your licensed brokerage, you can receive a Cashback Rebate of 1.5% of the purchase price, paid at closing, subject to eligibility and your buyer agreement.

The simple rule of thumb

If HOMEH is your brokerage on an eligible purchase, you're in line for the Cashback Rebate. The exact amount depends on the deal — see how it's calculated below.

Where the cashback comes from

HOMEH is a licensed Ontario real estate brokerage. On a transaction, a brokerage earns a commission — and HOMEH's model is to share a large portion of that commission back with the buyer as a Cashback Rebate, rather than keeping it all. That's why the amount is tied to the transaction: it flows from the commission generated by the deal.

It's the same engine behind HOMEH's other client benefits, including the down payment boost for buyers. For the full picture of the model, read how HOMEH cashback works.

How the amount is determined

There's no flat cheque — the Cashback Rebate is 1.5% of the purchase price, so it scales with the home you buy rather than being a fixed number. Larger transactions generate more commission to share, so they support more cashback.

• It scales with the deal. The amount is tied to the commission your transaction generates.
• It is for buyers. Sellers get a 1% listing fee, or list free when they also buy with HOMEH within 6 months, or $395 + HST with a Mere Posting.
• It is paid at closing, subject to eligibility and your buyer agreement.
• Your exact figure is easiest to see with the calculator below.

Get your specific number

Because the amount depends on your transaction, the calculator gives a far more useful answer than any general range. Run your numbers before you assume.

Is cashback even allowed in Ontario?

Yes. Real estate cashback and rebates are permitted in Ontario when they're provided by a licensed brokerage as part of a transaction — which is exactly how HOMEH operates. For a fuller explanation, see is real estate cashback legal in Ontario.

Because HOMEH is the licensed brokerage on the deal, the cashback is delivered properly and transparently, not as an off-the-books arrangement.

How to check your eligibility

The quickest way to confirm your eligibility and see your estimated amount is to run your transaction through the calculator, then start the process with HOMEH. If you're buying, you can also weigh applying the cashback toward your purchase via the down payment boost.
