With the California Supreme Court ruling a little over two weeks old, some Realtors are hoping that more home sales can be made as couples wed. Indeed, one company is offering a promotion to same-sex newlyweds, reports Inman News:
In offering the promotion, the brokerage has teamed with a company that
provides wedding-planning services. In order to qualify for the rebate,
same-sex couples must purchase a single-family home or condo using the
services of a Wellsford Realty agent, and the couple can receive up to
33 percent of their agent’s commission amount in the form of a cash
rebate.
It is an interesting idea. However, this ruling isn’t likely to affect much in the way of mortgage loans, since often the credit of both people buying a home — married or not — is often checked by underwriters.
