Buying a new construction home? The builder's sales team handles the showings and contracts — which means less agent involvement and the maximum rebate for you. Commission Cash Back works with every major builder in Texas to put thousands of dollars back in your pocket at closing.
It comes down to how much work the agent actually does.
With new construction, the builder's on-site sales team handles showings, walks you through model homes, manages their own contracts, and coordinates the build. Your buyer's agent has significantly less involvement compared to a resale transaction.
Because the builder handles most of the process, our agent's role is focused on contract review, negotiation support, and closing coordination. Lower involvement means we can pass the maximum rebate — up to 70% of the buyer's agent commission — directly to you.
Most Texas builders offer 2-3% to the buyer's agent as a standard marketing cost — it's already built into the home's price. Whether you use a traditional agent or Commission Cash Back, the builder pays the same amount. The only difference is how much of it ends up back in YOUR pocket.
Commission Cash Back works with all builders that offer buyer's agent commissions — including every name on this list and hundreds more across the state.
Five simple steps from sign-up to cash back at closing.
Sign up online — it's free, takes 30 seconds, and there's no obligation. Do this BEFORE you visit any builder's model home or sales office. This is the most important step.
Visit any model homes, communities, and builders you like. The builder's on-site sales team will show you floor plans, available lots, options, and upgrades. Shop around as much as you want — you're in the driver's seat.
When you've found a builder and community you love, we register as your buyer's agent with the builder. This ensures the buyer's agent commission is paid — which is where your rebate comes from. This costs you nothing.
While the builder manages their own contracts and construction, your Commission Cash Back agent reviews all contracts and addendums, negotiates for upgrades or concessions, monitors build progress, and coordinates your closing. You get professional representation throughout.
At closing, up to 70% of the buyer's agent commission appears as a credit on your closing disclosure, reducing your cash to close. On a typical new build, that's thousands of dollars back in your pocket.
Most Texas builders require your agent to be registered on your FIRST visit to their model home or sales office. If you visit a builder without an agent on file, the builder may refuse to pay the buyer's agent commission later — which means no rebate, even if you register an agent afterward.

This applies to every builder in Texas — it's an industry-wide policy, not unique to any one company
Takes 30 seconds. Protects your rebate on every builder you visit.
Real buyers. Real savings. Real new construction rebates in Texas.
We got $10,500 back on our new Perry Homes build in Cypress. The whole process was seamless — we registered with Commission Cash Back before visiting the model home, they handled the contract review, and the rebate showed up right on our closing disclosure. Easiest money we ever saved.
I almost visited the DR Horton model home without registering an agent first. So glad I found Commission Cash Back beforehand. Saved $7,350 on my new build in San Antonio. The agent reviewed my contract and caught an issue with the lot premium too.
Building with Highland Homes in Frisco. We were going to use a traditional agent until we learned about commission rebates. Why would you leave $12,600 on the table? Commission Cash Back handled the contract review and we didn't have to do anything different.
Everything you need to know about getting cash back on your new build
Yes — this is critical. Most Texas builders require your agent to be registered on your first visit to their sales office or model home. If you visit without an agent on file, the builder may not honor the agent commission later, which means no rebate. Register with Commission Cash Back before you visit any builder, even if you're just browsing. It takes 30 seconds and it's free.
Commission Cash Back works with every major builder in Texas, including D.R. Horton, Perry Homes, KB Home, Meritage Homes, Taylor Morrison, Highland Homes, Pulte Homes, David Weekley Homes, Ashton Woods, Toll Brothers, M/I Homes, and hundreds more. If a builder offers a buyer's agent commission (and the vast majority do), we can get you a rebate.
On new construction, you'll receive up to 70% of the buyer's agent commission. Most builders offer 2-3% to the buyer's agent. For example, on a $400,000 home with a 3% buyer's agent commission ($12,000), your rebate would be up to $8,400. On a $600,000 home, that's up to $12,600 back.
The builder knows you have a buyer's agent — that's standard. But the rebate arrangement is between you and Commission Cash Back. The builder pays the buyer's agent commission as they normally would. How we split that commission with you is our business arrangement, not the builder's.
Absolutely. Your Commission Cash Back agent can negotiate on your behalf for upgrades, concessions, lot premiums, and closing cost credits — just like any buyer's agent would. The rebate doesn't affect your ability to negotiate with the builder.
Contact us immediately. Depending on the builder's policy and how far along you are in the process, we may still be able to register as your agent and secure your rebate. The sooner you reach out, the better your chances. Some builders have a grace period, others don't.
The rebate appears as a credit on your closing disclosure, reducing your cash to close. Your lender must approve the credit — which is standard practice. In most cases, lenders have no issue with agent commission credits. Your Commission Cash Back agent will coordinate with your lender to ensure everything is handled properly.
Commission rebates are 100% legal in Texas, endorsed by the U.S. Department of Justice, and classified as non-taxable by the IRS. The reason more people don't know about it is simple: traditional agents have no incentive to tell you about a business model that shares their commission. Commission Cash Back exists specifically to change that.
Register with Commission Cash Back before you visit any builder. It's free, takes 30 seconds, and could save you $10,000+ at closing.
