OK I have an update. Can a moderator help me understand which - if any - forum or thread I can post a summary of the offer to a wider audience without violating TOS? I'm not sure if there is a 'marketplace' forum or something similar.
1. I am able to bypass the required registration process with Bilt and their forced random agent assignment - as long as a home buyer or seller is in my market (Southern California), I can register them directly and be the agent of record. This also means you do not need to use the Bilt home search portal and I can customize the home search through my own website as well as access private/pocket listings
2. While not a published benefit officially, I can register a client to earn Bilt rewards with a home sale as well as purchase - giving the opportunity to double dip. The sale side is still in the works officially, but I was told by my backoffice I can register clients for it
3. There is no minimum or maximum home price for the rewards program - so yes, a $18 million Beverly Hills home will earn 9,000,000 points, for example
4. If you're not in Southern California, I can try to find a Bilt-program approved agent in your area and do a direct hand-off after interviewing them to make sure they are a good fit (better idea), or you can register through the portal and take your chances with whoever gets assigned (worse idea)
So, yes, with a little tweaking behind the scenes, this is an easy way to earn a potentially massive amount of transferable points without any additional cost as part of a home purchase or sale. Everything will happen behind the scenes with the brokerage back office, escrow and Bilt Rewards.
