San Antonio's median home price is around $290,000, with new construction averaging $320,000 across the metro's growth corridors. A traditional agent keeps the entire commission. Commission Cash Back rebates $8,000 on a $320,000 new build. San Antonio's military installations, healthcare sector, and USAA headquarters create steady demand, and the city's affordability compared to Austin and DFW means more first-time buyers qualifying for new construction.

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 San Antonio. 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 $320,000 new build, that's $8,000 back - paid at the closing table, not weeks later.

New construction example: $320,000 home x 2.5% rebate = $8,000 back at closing.
Resale example: $290,000 home x 2% rebate = $5,800 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.

Military and Government Employment Base

Joint Base San Antonio is the largest military installation in the Department of Defense, combining Lackland AFB, Randolph AFB, Fort Sam Houston, and Camp Bullis. JBSA employs over 80,000 military and civilian personnel and generates billions in economic activity. USAA headquarters adds another 19,000 employees. This military-government employment base creates a constant flow of PCS moves and civilian relocations that sustain housing demand across every price tier and every corridor of the metro.

Most Affordable Major Texas Metro

San Antonio's $290K median home price is the lowest among Texas' four major metros, roughly 35% below Austin and 15% below DFW. New construction starts in the $220Ks in east and south San Antonio, well below any comparable offering in Austin, Houston, or Dallas. For first-time buyers and military families using VA loans, Commission Cash Back's 2.5% rebate on these affordable new builds produces $5,500 to $8,500 at closing, which can cover moving costs or closing expenses.

Healthcare Sector Growth

The South Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex in south Texas, anchored by University Health, Methodist Healthcare, and Baptist Health System. The medical center employs over 30,000 workers and is expanding. Buyers relocating for healthcare careers find that San Antonio's lower cost of living and commission rebate opportunities create significant advantages over higher-cost medical center cities like Houston's TMC or DFW's medical corridors.

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

Quick Answers

Common questions San Antonio 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 San Antonio builders does Commission Cash Back work with?
Every major builder in the San Antonio metro, including D.R. Horton, KB Home, Meritage Homes, Perry Homes, Chesmar Homes, Taylor Morrison, Saratoga Homes, Coventry 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.
Does Commission Cash Back work for military PCS moves to San Antonio?
Yes. Commission Cash Back has no restrictions based on military status, VA loan usage, or PCS orders. Active duty, veterans, DOD civilians, and military spouses all qualify for the same 2.5% new construction rebate and 2% resale rebate. Many military families use the rebate to offset PCS moving costs. Register with Commission Cash Back before visiting homes or model centers near JBSA installations.
Which San Antonio corridors produce the largest rebates?
The Bulverde/US-281 north corridor and Stone Oak produce the largest rebates, with homes from $350K to $700K generating rebates of $8,750 to $17,500. Alamo Ranch on the west side produces rebates in the $6,250 to $11,250 range. Even the most affordable east and south San Antonio communities produce rebates of $5,500 to $8,500 on new construction.
Is San Antonio a good market for first-time buyer rebates?
San Antonio is one of the best first-time buyer markets in Texas for commission rebates. New construction starts in the $220Ks in Converse and south San Antonio, producing rebates of $5,500 at 2.5%. Alamo Ranch and west side communities offer new homes from the $250Ks with rebates of $6,250+. The lower price points mean more buyers qualify for new construction, and every transaction includes a 2.5% rebate.

The average Texas buyer leaves $8,000 on the table.
