Your Pearland Rebate Broker

Commission Cash Back is a licensed Texas rebate broker working across Pearland and the south Houston / SH-288 corridor, from Shadow Creek Ranch to Manvel. 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.

Pearland's median home price sits around $375,000, anchored by master-planned communities and a fast SH-288 commute to the Texas Medical Center. A traditional buyer's agent collects the full builder commission and keeps it. Commission Cash Back rebates 2.5% on new construction, which is $10,000 on a $400,000 build, and 2% on resale. Whether you buy in Pearland proper or the growing Manvel and Iowa Colony communities next door, the rebate is real cash back.

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 Pearland. 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: $375,000 home x 2% rebate = $7,500 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.

Medical Center Commuter Market

Pearland's SH-288 corridor provides direct access to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world with over 106,000 employees. Healthcare professionals are the single largest buyer demographic in Pearland, drawn by the 25-minute commute and significantly lower home prices compared to the Inner Loop or West University area. The SH-288 toll lanes completed in 2020 cut commute times further, boosting Pearland's appeal.

Affordable New Construction Pipeline

Pearland's south and west growth corridors in Manvel and Iowa Colony are delivering some of the most affordable new construction in the Houston metro. Homes start in the $230Ks, well below the metro average. D.R. Horton, Meritage Homes, and KB Home are permitting hundreds of new lots annually in this corridor. For new construction buyers using Commission Cash Back, even entry-level homes produce rebates of $5,750 to $8,000.

Population and Retail Growth

Pearland is the 28th largest city in Texas with over 130,000 residents and growing. The Pearland Town Center and surrounding retail development have transformed the city from a bedroom community into a self-contained suburb with its own commercial base. This retail and employment growth supports housing demand and property values. Buyers are choosing Pearland not just for Houston access but for the city's own amenities.

Quick Answers

Common questions Pearland 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 Pearland builders does Commission Cash Back work with?
Every major builder in the Pearland metro, including D.R. Horton, Perry Homes, Meritage Homes, Chesmar Homes, KB Home, Saratoga Homes, Beazer 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.
What Pearland neighborhoods have the highest rebate potential?
Shadow Creek Ranch and the Friendswood-adjacent areas produce the largest rebates in the Pearland market, with home prices from $350K to $600K generating rebates of $8,750 to $15,000. The south Pearland corridor (Southern Trails, Meridiana, Pomona) produces rebates in the $7,000 to $10,000 range on new construction. Even entry-level communities in Manvel and Iowa Colony produce rebates above $5,750.
Does Commission Cash Back work for Texas Medical Center commuters?
Yes. Many of our Pearland buyers work at the Texas Medical Center, Johnson Space Center, or the Port of Houston. There are no employment restrictions on Commission Cash Back. Healthcare workers, NASA contractors, and port employees all qualify for the same 2.5% new construction rebate and 2% resale rebate. Register with Commission Cash Back before you start visiting homes or model centers.
Can I get a rebate on affordable new construction in Manvel or Iowa Colony?
Absolutely. Commission Cash Back works on new construction at every price point. A $280,000 new build in Manvel or Iowa Colony produces a $7,000 rebate at 2.5%. A $230,000 entry-level home produces $5,750 back. Builders like D.R. Horton, KB Home, and Saratoga Homes are actively building in these areas. The rebate is a flat percentage of the purchase price with no minimums.
Is a commission rebate the same as a commission refund?
Yes. Some Pearland 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 $10,000 on the table.
