Danielle’s Realtor incentive guide
Here’s the quick explanation I give my Realtor partners. Call or text me with the home your buyer likes and I’ll confirm the strongest available option, the qualifying dates, and the written terms.
The short version
Use these as conversation starters. I’ll confirm the exact home, available use, lender, dates, and combination rules before your buyer relies on the offer.
Buyer opportunity
Previous D.R. Horton “Your Way” offers have let buyers on select homes choose where the value helps most.
Previous uses have included: closing costs, a refrigerator, washer/dryer, or selected home options.
Your next move: text me the home your buyer likes. I’ll confirm the eligible uses and whether another offer can be combined with it.

Previous programs have included temporary buydowns that lower early payments and permanent buydowns that reduce the note rate for the loan term.
What I’ll help confirm: loan type, note rate, APR, points, payment by year, required lender, qualifying homes, and dates.
Easy rule: never sell the first-year rate by itself. I’ll get you the written illustration so the buyer sees the whole payment path.

On a qualifying offer, a builder credit can reduce eligible cash-to-close items shown in the transaction documents.
Current Deals of the Week planning examples:
$368,274 home → $11,048.22 · $352,898 home → $10,586.94 · $351,058 home → $10,531.74
Your next move: send me the home. I’ll confirm what the 3% is calculated from, which costs qualify, and whether lender limits apply.
Realtor opportunity
A separate agent-side bonus may apply to qualifying homes or programs.
What I’ll confirm for you: the eligible homes, registration timing, brokerage paperwork, contract date, closing date, and payment requirements.
Ask before the showing: I’ll tell you which homes carry the bonus so you can focus your time where it counts.
Helpful background
These dated examples explain the mechanics. Call or text me for the offer available on the home your buyer wants now.
