DRB Homes is one of the country's largest privately held builders, building its own self-branded new home communities across greater Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and College Station. Its parent, DRB Group, also owns Texas builder Brightland Homes (formerly Gehan). The incentives DRB offers come from the builder. Your 2.5% cash back comes out of our commission. You can have both.

DRB Homes, like most Texas builders, requires your agent to be registered on your first visit to a sales center. If you tour without us on file, the community may refuse to recognize your representation, which puts your rebate at risk.
A national builder now selling self-branded communities across five Texas metros, from greater Austin to College Station.
DRB Homes' Texas communities typically offer a 3% buyer agent commission, in line with most Texas builders, and require agent registration before your first visit to a sales center. Commission Cash Back returns 2.5% of the purchase price to you at closing: that is $10,000 on a $400,000 home, calculated on your final sales price.
DRB builds new single-family communities across its five Texas metros. Floor plans, pricing, and move-in-ready inventory vary by community, so browse current Texas offerings on the official DRB Homes site, then register with us before you visit to lock in your rebate.
DRB sells self-branded communities across greater Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and College Station, including Bridgeland in Cypress on the Houston side. Its sister brand Brightland Homes (formerly Gehan) sells separately under the Brightland name. Either brand, your 2.5% rebate applies at every Texas community.
DRB Homes adjusts incentives by community and by month. These are the patterns worth knowing before you negotiate.
Expect some mix of financing incentives, closing cost help, and discounts on inventory homes the builder wants sold this quarter. DRB Homes sets these community by community, so two neighborhoods can run different deals the same week.
Incentives are negotiable more often than the sales office lets on, especially near the end of a quarter. Ask, and get whatever they agree to in writing in the contract.
Builder incentives change monthly. The 2.5% rebate does not. It is written into your buyer representation agreement and rebate agreement before you tour, so it survives whatever the sales office is running that week.
Ask us what DRB Homes is running right now in your metro. We will tell you straight, and your 2.5% rebate is in writing either way.
Your 2.5% rebate applies at every DRB Homes community in Texas, College Station included.
Common questions about getting cash back on your DRB Homes purchase in Texas.
They are corporate family, but distinct brands. Brightland Homes (formerly Gehan) consolidated under DRB Group in April 2025, so DRB and Brightland share a parent company. DRB Homes builds and sells its own self-branded communities in Texas, across greater Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and College Station, while Brightland communities continue to sell under the Brightland name. Whichever brand is on the sign, the 2.5% Commission Cash Back rebate applies.
The rebate depends on your home's final purchase price. Here are three examples: At $350,000: $350,000 x 2.5% = $8,750 rebate. At $450,000: $450,000 x 2.5% = $11,250 rebate. At $550,000: $550,000 x 2.5% = $13,750 rebate. Your actual rebate is calculated at closing based on your final sales price. Estimate yours in seconds with our rebate calculator.
Yes, absolutely. Registering with Commission Cash Back before you visit any DRB Homes community is essential. This registration ensures your eligibility for the full 2.5% rebate and protects your savings. Without prior registration, the community may not recognize your representation and you could lose the rebate.
Yes. Commission rebates are legal in Texas, and builders like DRB pay a buyer agent commission that makes the rebate possible. The rebate is a share of that commission returned directly to you at closing. It costs you nothing extra and does not change your home price. Rebates are explicitly permitted by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC). The U.S. Department of Justice endorses commission rebates as pro-consumer.
Yes. Your Commission Cash Back rebate can be used flexibly at closing, toward closing costs, a rate buydown, upgrades, or your loan balance. Talk through your options with your CCB advisor and we structure it to fit your goals.
No. Builder incentives and your rebate come from different places. The builder funds their own promotions. The rebate comes out of our commission, which the builder pays whether or not you bring an agent. You can take every incentive DRB Homes offers and still receive the full 2.5% at closing, and it is in your agreements from day one. New to the concept?
