Homebuying & Selling Services

To be eligible for the credit, you must be an RBFCU member, use an RBFCU preferred real estate agent (Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty) and at least one preferred provider* (Domain Mortgage NMLS# 862516, Preserve Title Company or RBFCU Mortgage NMLS# 583215), and notify the RBFCU preferred real estate agent of your interest in the program prior to the projected closing date and execution of contract.

Buying a home

Choose an RBFCU preferred real estate agent as your buyer’s representative and use an RBFCU preferred mortgage lender for your home financing needs. A real estate transaction sales price below $3 million will receive a credit of $1,000 to apply towards closing costs and prepaid items. A real estate transaction sales price of $3 million or above will receive a credit of $5,000 to apply towards closing costs and prepaid items.

Selling a home

List your home with an RBFCU preferred real estate agent and RBFCU’s preferred title company for your escrow and title insurance needs. You will earn a credit of $1,000 at closing for a real estate transaction sales price below $3 million. For a real estate transaction sales price of $3 million and above, you will earn a credit of $5,000 at closing.

*Buyer is required to use Domain Mortgage or RBFCU Mortgage to finance the purchase of the property; Seller is required to use Preserve Title Company for the sale of the property to be eligible for the credit.

The RBFCU Member Benefit Program is subject to change without notice.

Getting pre-approved for a mortgage loan before you begin the shopping process can be a great idea. Knowing how much you’re able to spend on your home will help your preferred real estate agent work with you to find the perfect home and perfect area for your purchase. If you’re ready to get pre-approved, apply here.

As the buyer of a property, you do not have to address any appraisal questions. RBFCU will order a property appraisal to assess the true value of your selected property and to protect your interests.

There are several ways to use Preserve Title. When selling property through a real estate agent, instruct the agent to use Preserve Title as your closing agent. When selling a property on your own, include Preserve Title as the closing agent on your contract. When purchasing property, the seller normally chooses the title company to use, but it is still an item you can negotiate with the seller. Inform the seller and real estate agent of Preserve Title's fees and settlement services. When refinancing your property, instruct your mortgage lender to use Preserve Title and ask them to fax their closing instructions to us. When building a home instruct your builder and lender, if applicable, to use Preserve Title as your closing agent.
