What It Is

keep by Conflux Real Estate is a broker commission rebate service for buyers of new-construction homes in Phoenix, Arizona. It is not a standard enterprise SaaS product. Its core proposition is that builders typically pay a 2%–3% commission to the buyer’s agent; keep registers as the buyer’s broker and provides key transaction support, then returns up to 2/3 of the commission to the buyer as a closing credit.

Core Features and Process

The service is built around a three-step process: buyers first research Phoenix builder communities on their own and must contact keep before their first visit; keep registers as the broker of record and remotely handles contracts, upgrade selections, builder negotiations, and coordination with lenders and escrow from its Arizona office; at closing, the rebate is applied directly as a closing credit. It does not accompany buyers on showings, nor does it provide legal, financial, or home inspection services, though it can recommend relevant professionals.

Pricing and Rebates

keep does not offer subscription plans. Its business model is commission sharing: it keeps the greater of $8,000 or 1/3 of the commission, and the buyer receives the remainder. The rebate is not absolutely guaranteed. It depends on whether the builder pays a buyer-agent commission, whether the lender allows the credit, and how loan credit limits interact with builder incentives. The website provides a calculator, but the final amount is determined by the purchase contract and closing documents.

Pros and Cons

The main advantages are relatively transparent rules, a focus on new-construction expertise, and having the rebate applied directly at closing, which reduces the need to chase payment later. It is appealing to buyers who are comfortable touring homes independently and only want broker involvement in the contract and closing-critical stages. The limitations are also clear: it only applies to new-construction homes in Phoenix and requires registration before the first visit; if a builder requires in-person registration, buyers need to communicate with keep at least two business days in advance. It does not cover resale homes, FSBO properties, or listings sold through third parties.

Who It’s For and Access from China

It is best suited for buyers purchasing builder-direct new homes in Phoenix who already have some understanding of the U.S. homebuying process and want to reduce purchase costs. If a buyer needs an agent to accompany them throughout showings and provide in-depth local home-search support, a traditional buyer’s agent would be a better fit. The source text does not provide information on access from China, so it is considered unknown; payment methods are also not disclosed. Alternatives include local traditional agents, other rebate brokerage services, and online brokerage platforms such as Redfin.
