How does the Wahi Cashback program work?

Our digital business model means we create efficiencies that enable us to share our commission with you. There are 2 ways to get Cashback with Wahi.

For buyers: when you buy your next home with an in-house Wahi Realtor – you can get up to 1% cashback of the sale price back in cash after closing.

When a home is purchased, the commission is typically paid by the seller to both sides of the deal. Wahi, the buyer’s brokerage, will receive our share of the commission from the listing brokerage after the transaction is completed. For example, if we receive 2.5% of the sale price in commission, we would give 1.0% to the buyer in cashback.

Buying and Selling

How can Wahi help me buy a home?

You can browse property listings, and set up property alerts to help you get your home search started. Download the Wahi House Hunting App to get personalized real estate listings and open houses in your area. You can also invite your co-buyer to collaborate and find your dream home together right in the app. When you’re ready to buy a home, we’ll connect you to a Realtor who best suits your needs, whether that’s with the Wahi Cashback program that offers cashback or with one of our Partner Realtors who specializes in their local area.

How does Wahi recommend Realtors who will meet my needs?

Wahi’s AI recommendation engine does the heavy lifting to match you with the perfect Realtor for your property search area. We’ll only recommend Realtors with the right expertise, in the right location – whether that’s with the Wahi Cashback program that offers cashback or with one of our Partner Realtors who specializes in their local area.

What’s the difference between a Wahi Cashback Realtor and a Partner Realtor from your network?

Wahi’s in-house Realtors do more deals and bring that negotiating power into your corner, when it comes to buying and selling your home. Our Realtors leverage technology to get you more insights, move faster, and simplify the process.

Wahi Realtors are salaried, licensed professionals, instead of meeting you at the property, we send a licensed Tour Assistant to meet you there and show you around. This digital model enables us to share our commission with you as cashback after closing on your new home.

A Partner Realtor provides expert local knowledge and personally accompanies you to all your home showings. Wahi only partners with proven local Realtors, so you know you’re in good hands.

Looking to sell? Wahi provides an instant home value estimate to help shape your selling strategy, plus the ability to track your home’s value over time, so you can monitor the market and choose the right time to sell.

When you’re ready to move forward, we can connect you with a Wahi Realtor or a proven Realtor in your local area. They’ll provide a more customized home value estimate and guide you through a successful sale.
