How Pinkmelon works

01

Same full service

Licensed local agents handle search, pricing, negotiation, disclosures, and closing. The full job, every time.

02

You keep the commission

Buyers get up to 1.5–2%* cash back at closing. Sellers list for a 1% fee. No catch, ever.

03

Settled at closing

Your cash back or savings is documented right in your closing statement. Transparent, every time.

Pinkmelon Savings Can Do

Boost your offer

Put your cash back toward a stronger offer β€” win without paying more out of pocket.

Cash at closing

Take it as cash on closing day. Furniture, moving costs, or just keep it. Entirely yours.

Buy down your rate

Use your cash back to lower your mortgage rate β€” smaller monthly payment, starting day one.

Figures are estimates based on a $1M home. For buyers: based on seller offering 2.5% buyer commission β€” Pinkmelon keeps 1% and returns 1.5% to the buyer as cash back (commission rebate) at closing. For sellers: based on Pinkmelon's 1% listing fee vs. a traditional 2.5–3% listing fee β€” buyer-side commission is separate. Actual cash back and savings may vary by transaction and lender approval. Buyer cash back (commission rebate) is subject to lender approval and may not be available with all loan types. These figures are not a guarantee of any specific outcome. Commission is negotiable and not set by law.
