Yes, home buyers can receive a commission refund in the United States. A commission refund is a way for home buyers to receive a portion of the commission paid to their real estate agent at closing. In the U.S, the commission paid to a real estate agent is typically a percentage of the sale price, and it's negotiable and can range from 2-6% depending on the location and market conditions.

When a home is sold, the seller pays a commission to the listing agent, who then splits it with the buyer's agent. The commission refund is when the buyer's agent agrees to return a portion of their commission to the buyer at closing.

It's important to note that not all real estate agents or brokerage firms offer commission refunds, and some buyers may not be aware that this option is available to them. It's important to ask your agent if they offer commission refunds, and to negotiate the terms of the refund if it is something you are interested in.

Additionally, commission refund can also be offered in a different way, for example, some agents or brokerage companies offer a reduced commission rate instead of giving a refund after closing, or some companies use this as a marketing strategy to attract buyers and set themselves apart from their competitors.

It's also important to be aware that a commission refund may not be the best option for you, and it's always a good idea to compare the commission refund with other incentives or discounts that may be available. It's also recommended to consult with a financial advisor before making any decision regarding a commission refund.
