How to Buy a House with a Cash Bonus

With the influx of homes for sale and low loan rates, there is no better time to look for a home. In a buyer's market you have more flexibility to find the house you want for the price you can afford. But what could make the situation even better for buyers? How about getting a cash bonus at closing?

ZipRealty gives buyers 20 percent of the company's commission after closing in most areas, money you can use to start life in your new home.* Depending on the home's price, that could be several hundred to several thousand dollars.
