In the 2026 South Boston real estate market, commission rebates are a legal way for buyers to save significant costs. Several specialized brokers offer rebates of up to 60% of their commission to buyers, which can translate into tens of thousands of dollars in savings at closing. The following agencies currently advertise 60% commission rebates for South Boston condo buyers:

Legality: Buyer rebates are legal in Massachusetts and are generally treated as a reduction in the home's cost basis, meaning they are typically not subject to income tax. Negotiability: Following recent National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) settlement changes, commissions are more negotiable than ever. Many agents who do not publicly advertise rebates may still be open to negotiating a refund at closing.

Ford Realty in Boston does not offer a blanket 50% discount on all areas, but it does offer specific deals and significant commission rebates for buyers in Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Seaport and South Boston.
