Your Allen Rebate Broker

Commission Cash Back is a licensed Texas rebate broker working across the Allen area and north Collin County, from Twin Creeks to Star Creek. Most builders already budget a 3% buyer-agent commission, and we hand most of it back to you: 2.5% of the price on new construction, 2% on resale, paid at closing. You can take it as cash, as closing cost help, or as a rate buy-down.

Allen's median home price sits around $500,000, and new construction in north Allen runs from the $450Ks into the $600Ks. A traditional buyer's agent collects the full commission and keeps it. Commission Cash Back rebates 2.5% on new construction, which is $12,500 on a $500,000 build, and 2% on resale. Allen ISD schools, US-75 access, and a built-out, high-demand resale market make Allen one of Collin County's strongest rebate markets.

Simple Process

Three steps to thousands at closing.

01

Register Free

Complete our 2-minute registration before you visit any builder sales office or tour homes with a seller's agent. This locks in your rebate eligibility.

02

Buy Your Home

Shop for new construction or resale homes throughout Allen. We provide full buyer representation - contract review, negotiation, and closing coordination.

03

Keep the Money

Your rebate appears on the closing disclosure as a credit. On a $500,000 new build, that's $12,500 back - paid at the closing table, not weeks later.

New construction example: $500,000 home x 2.5% rebate = $12,500 back at closing.
Resale example: $500,000 home x 2% rebate = $10,000 back.

Important: Register before your first builder sales-office visit or before touring a listed home. Builders and listing agents typically require a buyer's agent to accompany you on the first visit in order to preserve the rebate.

Allen ISD Is the Market Driver

Allen ISD serves over 22,000 students and operates from a single high school campus, Allen High School, which is one of the largest in the country. The district consistently earns top ratings and its athletics program is nationally recognized. For families relocating to DFW, Allen ISD's combination of academic performance, extracurricular depth, and community cohesion is the primary reason they choose this city. Homes in Allen ISD command a premium, which translates directly into larger commission rebates.

US-75 Corridor Employment Access

Allen sits along the US-75 corridor, providing direct highway access to major employment hubs in Plano (Toyota, Liberty Mutual, Capital One), Richardson (Texas Instruments, Raytheon), and downtown Dallas. The DART Red Line extends to Parker Road in Plano, and future rail expansion could bring transit closer to Allen. Corporate professionals who work along the US-75 corridor choose Allen for the school district and find that a commission rebate offsets the Collin County premium.

Mature Market with Select New Pockets

Unlike rapidly expanding cities like Celina and Prosper, Allen is largely built out. New construction is concentrated in north Allen, with limited infill elsewhere. That maturity means a strong resale market generating consistent 2% rebates on higher-priced homes. At a $500,000 median, even resale buyers receive $10,000 back. The active new construction communities produce 2.5% rebates in the $11,000 to $15,000 range.

Commission rebates are legal in Texas and actively encouraged by the U.S. Department of Justice as a way to promote price competition in real estate.

Rebate Paid at Closing

Your cash back appears directly on your closing disclosure as a credit. No waiting, no hoops, no fine print.

No Upfront Costs

You pay nothing to register, nothing to use our service, and nothing if you decide not to move forward. Your rebate comes from the commission, not from you.

Quick Answers

Common questions Allen buyers ask.

Is a commission rebate legal in Texas?
Yes. Commission rebates are 100% legal in Texas, explicitly permitted by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), and actively endorsed by the U.S. Department of Justice. Commission Cash Back operates under Ouray 550 LLC, a TREC-registered brokerage. There is nothing gray-area about this.
Do I get the rebate on new construction AND resale?
Yes. New construction buyers receive 2.5% of the total purchase price back at closing. Resale/pre-owned buyers receive 2% back. Both are credited directly on your closing disclosure. The rebate works with any builder and any listing in Texas.
Will I get less service because of the rebate?
No. You get a licensed Texas real estate agent who handles your buyer representation agreement, contract review, negotiation on pricing and upgrades, and closing coordination. Our efficiency comes from running a lean brokerage, not from reducing your service.
How is 2.5% different from competitors offering 2%?
Most rebate programs offer 1.5-2% of the purchase price. On a $400,000 home, that's $6,000-$8,000. Commission Cash Back's 2.5% new construction rebate returns $10,000 on the same home. That's $2,000-$4,000 more in your pocket, with the same level of representation.
What if I sign a buyer rep agreement and change my mind?
The NAR settlement requires buyer representation agreements before touring homes. Our agreement is straightforward and we'll walk you through every provision before you sign. If you have questions about the terms, ask them upfront.
Will the builder care that I'm using a rebate agent?
No. Builders set aside a commission on every home specifically to pay buyer's agents. Whether your agent keeps all of it or gives most of it back to you is between you and your agent. The builder's sales process and your pricing don't change.
Which Allen builders does Commission Cash Back work with?
Every major builder in the Allen metro, including Highland Homes, Perry Homes, Shaddock Homes, Toll Brothers, Meritage Homes. If your builder isn't listed, contact us - we work with virtually every builder in Texas. View all builders
How do I actually receive my rebate?
Your rebate appears as a credit on your closing disclosure. On a $400,000 new construction home, that's $10,000 applied directly at the closing table. You can use it toward closing costs, or receive the difference as a check. The title company handles the math.
How does Allen compare to Frisco and McKinney for rebates?
Allen's roughly $500,000 median sits right around McKinney's and produces comparable rebates on resale. Allen's more built-out status means fewer new construction opportunities at the 2.5% tier than Frisco or McKinney, which have larger active pipelines. For resale buyers, Allen's higher median produces larger 2% checks: a $500,000 resale returns $10,000, while new construction in north Allen returns $11,000 to $15,000 at 2.5%.
Can I get a rebate buying near Allen Premium Outlets?
Yes. Commission Cash Back works on all home purchases in Allen, including neighborhoods near the Allen Premium Outlets and Watters Creek retail corridor. A 2% resale rebate on a $400K home in central Allen returns $8,000 at closing. New construction in nearby communities returns 2.5%. The rebate applies regardless of the home's proximity to any specific landmark or retail center.
Does Commission Cash Back work with Allen ISD transfers?
Yes. Commission Cash Back has no restrictions based on school district enrollment. Whether you are buying specifically for Allen ISD, transferring from another district, or purchasing a home that feeds into neighboring Lovejoy ISD in the Lucas area, the rebate is the same: 2.5% on new construction and 2% on resale. Register with Commission Cash Back before visiting homes to secure your rebate.
Is a commission rebate the same as a commission refund?
Yes. Some Allen buyers call it a commission refund or a commission credit. It is the same thing. We give part of the buyer-agent commission back to you at closing, 2.5% on new construction and 2% on resale, and you choose how to take it: cash, closing cost help, or a rate buy-down. It is a non-taxable event, and the amount is written into your paperwork before anything happens.

The average Texas buyer leaves $12,500 on the table.
