Buy a home in Bayshores and keep the commission

Most homes for sale in Bayshores are resales. When the seller or a builder pays your agent's commission, TurboHome credits most of it back to you. On a $1,100,000 home in Newark, California, that's about $12,500 back at closing.

What to know before buying in Bayshores

Bayshores is a neighborhood of about 299 homes inside Bayside Newark, Integral Communities' 206-acre master plan on the west side of Newark, Alameda County. William Lyon Homes built Bayshores in two phases starting in 2016. Bayside Newark as a whole plans about 1,406 homes. The Dumbarton Bridge and I-880 are close, which helps commuters to the Peninsula and Silicon Valley.

Residents have a clubhouse with a pool, small parks, and trails, and the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge is next door. The bay and salt ponds give the area open views to the west. NewPark Mall, Newark's community center, and the tech campuses across the Dumbarton Bridge are a short drive, and the Bay Trail is close for walks and bike rides along the shoreline.

New sales have ended, so homes here sell as resales. Newer homes may still carry builder warranties or solar agreements that transfer. A local TurboHome agent can check those details, compare sales across Bayside Newark, and negotiate with sellers, and the TurboHome rebate lowers your cost at closing.

Stack your rebate on top of the deal in Bayshores

Most buyers take the listing as offered. The cheapest house in the neighborhood comes from layering three savings.

The seller's or builder's incentive

Sellers in Bayshores can offer price cuts or closing-cost credits, and any builder still selling there may advertise rate buydowns. Those stay yours when you buy with TurboHome.

Your TurboHome rebate

When the seller or builder pays the buyer's agent commission. We keep a flat fee and credit you the rest at closing, about $12,500 on a $1,100,000 home.

What we negotiate on top

Price, repairs after inspection, and seller-paid closing costs. Sellers rarely offer these to buyers who don't ask.

Buying in Bayshores: common questions

Yes. On a resale, TurboHome keeps a flat fee from the buyer-agent commission and credits you the rest at closing. On a $1,100,000 home with 2.5% buyer-agent compensation, that is $27,500 minus a $15,000 flat fee, or a $12,500 TurboHome rebate. Buyer-agent compensation on resales is negotiated, so your agent confirms it before you write an offer.
