Questions Ottawa Buyers Ask

Common questions about our cash back realtor program.

What is a cash back realtor?

A cash back realtor shares part of the commission earned from representing a buyer, paying a portion of it back to the buyer instead of keeping the full amount.

How does the cash back program work?

You sign a Buyer Representation Agreement with Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage, we represent you through the purchase, and a share of our commission is returned to you at closing.

How much cash back can I get when buying a home in Ottawa?

It depends on the purchase price and the commission offered on the listing — use the calculator above for an estimate, and we'll confirm your exact amount in writing.

Are cash back realtors legal in Ottawa?

Yes. Commission rebates to buyers are permitted in Ontario under RECO regulations, provided they're disclosed and documented properly.

What neighbourhoods in Ottawa do you serve?

We work across the greater Ottawa area, including Kanata, Barrhaven, Orleans, Nepean, Stittsville, and downtown Ottawa.

Do you help with condo purchases?

Yes — the cash back program applies to condos as well as freehold homes, subject to the commission offered on the property.

When do I get my cash back money?

Cash back is paid out after your purchase closes, once the transaction has fully completed.

Why would a realtor give cash back?

We handle a high volume of buyer transactions, which lets us operate efficiently and share part of our commission while still delivering full service.

Is there a catch with cash back realtors?

No hidden catch — you get full representation and the terms of your cash back are disclosed in writing before you make an offer.

Terms & Conditions

Cash Back Program — Terms & Conditions ▾
Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage

These Terms and Conditions (the "Terms") govern the Cash Back Program (the "Program") offered by Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage ("the Brokerage," "we," "us," or "our") to eligible home buyers in Ottawa and the surrounding area ("you," "your," or "Client"). By requesting a cash back estimate, signing a Buyer Representation Agreement that references the Program, or otherwise taking part in the Program, you agree to these Terms.

1. Definitions

  • "Program" means the Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage Cash Back Program described on this page.
  • "BRA" means the Buyer Representation Agreement between you and the Brokerage.
  • "Commission" means the buyer agent commission the Brokerage actually receives and keeps from the seller's brokerage on a completed transaction.
  • "Cash Back Amount" means the portion of the Commission the Brokerage agrees, in writing, to return to you.
  • "Closing" means the date your purchase is legally completed and title transfers to you.

2. Eligibility Requirements

  • Eligible property: the property must be residential or commercial and located in Ontario.
  • Representation agreement: you must sign a Buyer Representation Agreement with Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage that expressly references the Cash Back Program, before viewing properties.
  • Exclusive representation: the full purchase transaction must go through Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage as your representative.
  • Successful closing: the purchase must close successfully.
  • Commission requirement: the transaction must include a buyer-side commission payable by the seller to Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage.

3. Cash Back Calculation

  • Cash back amount: you receive 50% of the buyer agent commission actually received and retained by Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage on the transaction.
  • Commission determination: the commission itself is set by the agreement between the seller and listing brokerage, and can vary from deal to deal.
  • Payment timing: cash back is paid once the transaction has closed and the commission funds have been received and cleared.
  • Adjustments: if the commission is reduced, adjusted, withheld, partially paid, unpaid, or later has to be repaid, your cash back is adjusted proportionately.
  • Written confirmation: your cash back amount is documented in writing — in the BRA or a separate rebate agreement — and signed before any offer is submitted on your behalf. No offer goes in until that figure is confirmed in writing.

Example: on a $50,000 buyer agent commission, your cash back would be $25,000 (50% of $50,000).

4. Rebate Payment

  • Payment deadline: the rebate is issued within 10 business days of the Brokerage receiving and clearing the commission funds.
  • Payment method: by cheque or electronic funds transfer, as arranged with you.
  • Recipient: payment is issued to the buyer(s) named in the purchase and rebate agreements.
  • Taxes: you're responsible for any taxes or reporting obligations tied to the rebate.

5. Circumstances Where a Rebate Is Not Available

No rebate is payable where:

  • You end the BRA before the purchase is completed.
  • The purchase fails to close, for any reason.
  • You're in default under the Agreement of Purchase and Sale or the BRA.
  • The property is located outside Ontario.
  • Payment of the rebate would be prohibited under applicable law, regulation, or real estate requirements.

6. Mortgage and Lender Requirements

If you're financing your purchase, discuss the rebate with your mortgage lender before proceeding — some lenders place conditions on rebates or incentives tied to a real estate transaction. It's your responsibility to confirm the rebate is permitted under your financing arrangements and to meet any disclosure requirements your lender sets. The Brokerage will disclose the rebate on transaction or closing documents where required by law, but you remain responsible for giving your lender accurate information.

7. Buyer Representation Services

Being part of the Program doesn't reduce the representation you receive. Subject to your BRA, this can include:

  • Access to listings and help identifying properties that fit what you're looking for.
  • Arranging showings and accompanying you to viewings.
  • Reviewing comparable properties and market information to inform your offer.
  • Preparing and presenting offers, advising on negotiation, and liaising with the other side.
  • Coordinating with your lawyer, home inspector, mortgage professional, and other service providers.
  • Guidance from your initial search through to closing.

8. Buyer Representation Agreement

Taking part in the Program requires a valid BRA with Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage, setting out the scope and duration of representation and the applicable commission arrangements. These Terms, the BRA, and any separate rebate agreement should be read together; where they differ on the rebate for a specific transaction, the specific written terms signed for that transaction govern.

9. Regulatory and Brokerage Compliance

Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage is registered with the Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) and operates under the Trust in Real Estate Services Act, 2002 (TRESA) and its regulations. The Program is administered in line with applicable disclosure, representation, and remuneration requirements, and remains subject to the direction of the relevant regulatory authorities.

10. Tax Considerations

A rebate may carry tax or reporting implications depending on your circumstances. Get independent advice from a qualified tax professional about your specific situation — Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage and its agents don't provide tax advice and aren't responsible for your tax treatment or reporting obligations.

11. Non-Transferable and Non-Assignable

The rebate is payable only to the buyer(s) named in the applicable BRA and can't be transferred, assigned, or paid to any other person or entity.

12. Changes to the Program

Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage may revise, pause, or discontinue the Program at any time. Changes apply to new participants and future arrangements only — they won't alter a rebate already established in a signed written agreement for an active transaction, which continues to be governed by its own terms.

13. Liability

The Brokerage's financial obligation under the Program is limited to the rebate amount set out in the applicable signed agreement. To the extent the law allows, Ali Realty Group Inc., Brokerage isn't responsible for indirect, incidental, or consequential losses arising from the Program. Nothing here excludes or limits any liability that can't lawfully be excluded or limited.

14. Website Information and Important Notices

Cash-back estimates, examples, calculators, and other materials on this website are for general information only. Any figure shown before a transaction-specific written agreement is signed is an estimate — actual amounts depend on the commission received on your particular transaction and the terms confirmed in writing. Nothing on this website constitutes legal, tax, mortgage, investment, or financial advice; get advice from qualified professionals before making decisions about a purchase or financing.

15. Agreement and Acceptance

These Terms describe the general conditions of the Cash Back Program. Your specific rights and obligations are established by these Terms together with your BRA and any separately signed rebate agreement. By signing those agreements, you acknowledge the Program's requirements and agree to the terms governing your rebate.
