First of all, I would definitely recommend Mike W of Findwell regardless of the rebate.
Mike knew the market and was able to let us know the value of the property. His knowledge also allowed us to strike out ridiculous points in ther counter offer such as free 30 day rent back. Additionally, he was able to help out with closing when our mortgage broker dropped the ball.
All throughout the process I did not view Mike as a real estate agent/realtor but a partner for finding me a quality home that was within my budget. He wasn't pushy and wasn't afraid to give us both the positives and negatives of a home... even if it was something we didn't want to hear for fear of us not buying the house.
There is a difference between Findwell and Windermere/JohnLScott/Reimax, etc... Findwell is flat out better plus the rebate is very helpful!
