Buying a home is the biggest purchase most people ever make — so the brokerage you choose matters. HOMEH is a licensed Ontario real estate brokerage with one clear difference: instead of quietly keeping the commission, it shares a large portion back with you. Eligible buyers can receive the industry's highest Cashback Rebate, on top of the full representation you'd expect from any brokerage.
- HOMEH is a licensed Ontario brokerage — you get full buyer representation, not a discount service.
- Eligible buyers can receive the industry's highest Cashback Rebate, paid from shared commission.
- Your cashback can go toward your down payment, closing costs, or straight into your pocket.
- Free calculators (affordability, mortgage, down payment, closing cost and more) help you plan before you buy.
- The model is transparent: less commission kept by the brokerage, more money back to you.
What makes HOMEH different
In a typical Ontario purchase, the buyer's brokerage is paid a commission out of the transaction — often around 2.5% of the price. Traditionally, the brokerage kept most of that. HOMEH's model flips this: as a licensed brokerage, it returns a large share of that commission to you as cashback. You still get a real agent, real representation, and real accountability — the difference is where the money ends up.
The industry's highest Cashback Rebate
The headline benefit is the cashback. Eligible buyers can receive the industry's highest Cashback Rebate, subject to your buyer agreement. It's 1.5% of the purchase price, so the amount scales with your transaction — larger purchases support larger rebates.
That money is flexible. You can apply it toward your down payment, use it to offset closing costs in Ontario, or simply keep it. To see a realistic, personalized figure for your situation, run the numbers through the cashback calculator.
