Dallas's median home price is around $430,000, and the city's new construction skews toward infill townhomes and urban builds priced from the $400,000s past $1 million in neighborhoods like Uptown and North Dallas. A traditional buyer's agent keeps the full commission. Commission Cash Back rebates $11,250 on a $450,000 new build. Across Dallas's established neighborhoods and new urban construction, that adds up to real money left on the table.

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 Dallas. 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 $450,000 new build, that's $11,250 back - paid at the closing table, not weeks later.

New construction example: $450,000 home x 2.5% rebate = $11,250 back at closing.
Resale example: $400,000 home x 2% rebate = $8,000 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.

Corporate Base and Relocation Demand

Dallas anchors one of the strongest job markets in the country, home to major employers like AT&T, Comerica, and Texas Instruments alongside a fast-growing financial and tech sector. The broader North Texas relocation wave brings thousands of new buyers into Dallas each year, many new to the market and receptive to a savings-first approach. Commission Cash Back is built for exactly this buyer profile.

Urban Infill and New Construction

Unlike the suburban master-planned boom, new construction inside Dallas is concentrated in infill townhomes and urban builds in Uptown, North Dallas, and the Oak Cliff corridor. For buyers targeting these newer homes, Commission Cash Back's 2.5% rebate stacks on top of any builder incentive, often $12,000 to $18,000 back on a single purchase.

A Buyer-Friendlier Dallas

With inventory back above four months and prices easing slightly year over year, Dallas has shifted toward a more balanced market. Sellers and builders are offering rate buy-downs, closing-cost credits, and price reductions. Those incentives are separate from your Commission Cash Back rebate, so total savings of $15,000 or more are realistic on a single Dallas purchase.

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 Dallas 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 Dallas builders does Commission Cash Back work with?
Every major builder in the Dallas metro, including D.R. Horton, Highland Homes, Perry Homes, Meritage Homes, Taylor Morrison, Coventry Homes, Toll Brothers, Beazer Homes, Gehan Homes, Ashton Woods, David Weekley Homes, Pulte 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.
Which Dallas neighborhoods have the highest rebate potential?
Dallas's higher-priced neighborhoods produce the largest rebates. In Preston Hollow, where homes run from $750,000 to well over $5 million, a 2% resale rebate returns $15,000 to $100,000+ at closing. Uptown and North Dallas new townhomes from $500,000 to $1.5 million generate 2.5% rebates of $12,500 to $37,500. Even character homes in Lake Highlands and Bishop Arts, priced from the $250,000s to the $700,000s, return $5,000 to $14,000 back.
Does Commission Cash Back work with Dallas builder incentives?
Yes. Builder incentives and your Commission Cash Back rebate are completely separate. Builders working in Dallas's infill and townhome projects offer rate buy-downs, closing-cost credits, and design allowances. You receive those from the builder and your rebate check from Commission Cash Back at closing. Many Dallas buyers combine both for total savings well over $15,000 on a single transaction.
Can I get a rebate on both new and resale homes in Dallas?
Yes. Dallas is a mix of new urban construction and established resale neighborhoods, and the rebate applies to both. New construction earns 2.5% of the purchase price back and resale homes earn 2%. Whether you're buying a new townhome in Uptown or a character home in Oak Cliff, you get full buyer representation from a TREC-licensed broker and cash back at closing.
Are you a Dallas rebate broker?
Yes. Commission Cash Back is a licensed Texas rebate broker working in Dallas. Most builders already budget a 3% buyer-agent commission, and we hand most of it back to you, 2.5% on new construction and 2% on resale, paid at closing. On a new build there is honestly not a lot for an agent to do, so the rebate is the point, not a bonus we tack on. Buying elsewhere in the metro? We rebate the same 2.5% on new construction across the area, including Fort Worth commission rebate, buyer rebate in Frisco, and McKinney home rebate.
Is a commission rebate the same as a commission refund?
Yes. Some Dallas buyers search for a Dallas home rebate, a Dallas commission rebate, a commission refund, or a commission credit. It is all 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 $10,000 on the table.
