Savings calculator
Agents compete for you with lower commissions and rebates. See what a bid is actually worth in dollars on your price range — and what the agent keeps.
A percent bid is a share of your agent's commission — the way bids work on matchclose.
Estimates only. A percent bid is a share of your buyer-agent's commission, not the purchase price. Whether the savings arrive as a lower commission at close or as cash back after close, the exact terms are set in your written representation agreement.
Want agents to bid savings like this for you?
On matchclose, verified agents compete to represent you — the more competition, the bigger the savings. Your name and contact stay hidden until you accept a bid.

Why lower commission?
- Nothing to claim, nothing to wait forA rebate is money back after closing; a lower commission is simply a smaller number at close. No paperwork, no follow-up, no waiting on a payment.
- One number, in writingYour buyer agreement states one negotiated number for your agent's fee. A lower commission is just that number, made smaller — the simplest possible term to hold an agent to.
Your agent collects their full commission, then pays part of it back to you.
Your agent charges less in the first place.
After closing — it arrives as a payment to you.
At closing — the fee is simply smaller.
Keep the terms in your buyer agreement and follow up after close.
Nothing — the number in your agreement is the whole story.
Example: on an $800,000 home at a 2.5% buyer-agent commission ($20,000), a 20% bid is $4,000 to you — the same dollars whether it's taken as a lower commission or as cash back.
What's the difference between a commission rebate and a lower commission?
The same dollars, delivered differently. With a rebate, your agent collects their full commission and pays part of it back to you after closing. With a lower commission, your agent simply charges less, so the saving lands at close — nothing to claim afterwards.
Why do lower-commission bids close cleaner?
A lower commission is one smaller number in your buyer agreement: nothing to invoice, nothing to wait for after closing, and no follow-up if plans change. A rebate adds a second step — a payment back to you after the deal closes.
