REALTOR CASH BACK BONUS TERMS

  1. Program Description – Hurst Lending & Insurance is a licensed real estate broker.  Hurst Lending & Insurance will match you with a pre-screened Realtor.  Please note that service providers may not be available in all geographic areas.
  2. Qualification – In order for you to receive a Cash Back Bonus from Hurst Lending & Insurance, you must have been initially connected with a Realtor through Hurst Lending & Insurance so that Hurst Lending & Insurance earns a cooperative brokerage fee. The Cash Back Bonus offer may not be combined with any other offer made by Hurst Lending & Insurance, Hurst Real Estate, Inc., or any of our partners or affiliates. If you want to use one of our Service Providers for a future transaction and receive a Cash Back Bonus, please remember to re-register that transaction with us before contacting the Service Provider.
  3. Estimated Cash Back Bonus – For a qualifying purchase or sale, please contact us for the amount of Cash Back Bonus you  can receive. The Cash Back Bonus amount calculated by this tool is based on a 6% real estate commission, evenly split between the listing and buying broker (3% for the sellers agent and 3% for the buyer’s agent). If the actual commission is lower, the Cash Back Bonus will be reduced in proportion to the actual commission received. If your Hurst Lending & Insurance Realtor does not receive a commission on the full price of the home, your Cash Back Bonus will be based on the transaction amount for which your Realtor receives a commission. Please note that there is no Cash Back Bonus offered for the purchase or sale of a home that is less than $75,000.
  4. Limitations due to State and Federal Law – The Hurst Lending & Insurance Cash Back Bonus program is currently offered in Texas.
  5. How Do I Earn a Cash Back Bonus – The purchase price and sale price must be above $75,000 and you must take the following action to receive a Cash Back Bonus.
    • Register with Hurst Lending & Insurance.
    • Purchase and/or sell a home using the Realtor provided by Hurst Lending & Insurance.
    • Fax or email your contract to your Personal Real Estate Coordinator when you are ready to make an offer to purchase or when you have received an offer to sell your home. Please do this before the offer is submitted or accepted.
  6. When is Cash Back Bonus Paid – Within 30 days after the closing, you will receive a check from Hurst Lending & Insurance for the applicable Cash Back Bonus. Or, if you prefer, you can take the Cash Back Bonus as a credit at closing if allowed by your lender and if you provide sufficient notice for us to meet this request. In some states, the Cash Back Bonus must be taken as a closing credit. Please note that the Cash Back Bonus is void where prohibited by law and this offer can be changed/withdrawn at any time.
  7. Disputes – If Hurst Lending & Insurance reasonably determines that a commission dispute exists or is reasonably likely to occur, then Hurst Lending & Insurance may delay paying the Cash Back Bonus until 30 days after such commission dispute is resolved. Commission disputes includes but are not limited to disputes or uncertainties regarding: (i) the amount of the commission or whether Hurst Lending & Insurance is entitled to a commission, (ii) the timing of payment of such commission, or (iii) any other issue related to the commission. If Hurst Lending & Insurance pays any Cash Back Bonus and it is later determined that Hurst Lending & Insurance was not entitled to all or part of the commission and customer’s failure to follow the terms and conditions is partially responsible for this problem (e.g. customer had a listing, buyers representation, or other agreement with another realtor before enrolling in the Hurst Lending & Insurance program, etc.) then the Cash Back Bonus amount will be recalculated and the customer will repay the excess portion of the Cash Back Bonus to Hurst Lending & Insurance within ten (10) days of receipt of notice.
