Katy's median home price is around $390,000, with new construction averaging $400,000 across the area's master-planned communities. A traditional buyer's agent keeps the full commission and gives you nothing back. Commission Cash Back rebates $10,000 on that same new build. That's real money back in your pocket at closing.

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 Katy. 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 $400,000 new build, that's $10,000 back - paid at the closing table, not weeks later.

New construction example: $400,000 home x 2.5% rebate = $10,000 back at closing.
Resale example: $350,000 home x 2% rebate = $7,000 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.

Energy Corridor Employment

Katy's I-10 corridor provides direct access to Houston's Energy Corridor, where BP, ConocoPhillips, and dozens of midstream companies employ tens of thousands of workers. Academy Sports + Outdoors is headquartered in Katy proper, and Memorial Hermann Katy Hospital anchors the local healthcare sector. This employer diversity keeps housing demand consistent regardless of oil price cycles.

Record New Construction Volume

The greater Katy area consistently ranks among the top new construction markets in the United States. Sunterra alone has been the number one selling MPC in Texas for three consecutive years. Builders are delivering homes across a price spectrum from the $250Ks in outer communities to $700K+ in gated enclaves. For new construction buyers using Commission Cash Back, this volume means more inventory to choose from and more rebate opportunities.

Inventory Favors Buyers

With 4.2 months of inventory and average days on market approaching 60, Katy buyers have negotiating leverage that was absent during the 2021-2022 frenzy. Builders are stacking incentives including rate buy-downs, closing cost credits, and design center upgrades. A commission rebate layers on top of those builder incentives for total savings that regularly exceed $15,000.

Rebate Paid at Closing

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

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 Katy 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 Katy builders does Commission Cash Back work with?
Every major builder in the Katy metro, including D.R. Horton, Perry Homes, Highland Homes, Ashton Woods, Chesmar Homes, David Weekley Homes, Taylor Morrison, Coventry Homes, Toll Brothers, Trendmaker 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 Katy neighborhoods produce the largest rebates?
Cane Island and Cross Creek Ranch have the highest new construction price points in Katy, with homes ranging from $400K to $750K. At those prices, a 2.5% rebate produces $10,000 to $18,750 back at closing. Sunterra and Elyson deliver rebates in the $8,500 to $13,000 range. Even entry-level communities like Jordan Ranch produce rebates above $7,000 on most new builds.
Can I use Commission Cash Back with Katy builder incentives?
Yes. Builder incentives and your Commission Cash Back rebate are completely separate. Builders like Perry Homes, Highland Homes, and D.R. Horton frequently offer rate buy-downs, closing cost credits, and design center allowances. You receive those incentives from the builder and your rebate check from Commission Cash Back. Many Katy buyers combine both for total savings exceeding $15,000 at the closing table.
Does the rebate work with Katy ISD new construction?
Absolutely. Commission Cash Back works with any new construction purchase in Katy ISD, Lamar Consolidated ISD, or any other district in the greater Katy area. Most of the major MPCs, including Sunterra, Elyson, and Cane Island, feed into Katy ISD. The rebate is 2.5% of the total purchase price regardless of which school district the home is zoned to.

The average Texas buyer leaves $10,000 on the table.
