Buying a resale home? Commission Cash Back gives you 2% of the purchase price back at closing. Full-service representation from a licensed Texas agent. No upfront fees, no hidden costs, no catch.
A home buyer commission rebate is when your buyer's agent returns a portion of their commission to you at closing. In a typical Texas resale transaction, the seller offers a commission to the buyer's agent, usually around 3% of the purchase price. With a traditional agent, they keep all of it. With Commission Cash Back, you get 2% of the home price back.
This is not a discount on the home price. The seller pays the same commission regardless. The only difference is that Commission Cash Back shares the money with you instead of keeping it all.
Real estate commission rebates are legal in Texas under Texas Property Code §1101.558, endorsed by the U.S. Department of Justice as pro-consumer, and classified by the IRS as a non-taxable purchase price adjustment. Commission Cash Back is a TREC-licensed brokerage operating fully within Texas real estate law.
The 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer agent commissions work nationwide. Buyers are now required to sign a written buyer representation agreement before touring homes, and commission structures are more transparent than ever. That shift has made more Texas buyers aware that the commission their agent receives is negotiable and that rebate programs like Commission Cash Back exist.
Your rebate is 2% of the purchase price. Here are real numbers at common Texas price points.
| Home Price | Buyer Agent Commission (3%) | Your Rebate (2% of Price) | We Keep (1%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $7,500 | $5,000 | $2,500 |
| $350,000 | $10,500 | $7,000 | $3,500 |
| $450,000 | $13,500 | $9,000 | $4,500 |
| $600,000 | $18,000 | $12,000 | $6,000 |
| $800,000 | $24,000 | $16,000 | $8,000 |
Most buyers apply the rebate toward a rate buydown or closing costs. On qualifying loans, excess credit can be received as cash after closing.
Buying a pre-owned home with a commission rebate works just like buying with any other agent. The only difference is you keep most of the commission. Here is the process from registration to closing.

Your Commission Cash Back agent arranges showings through our professional showing network. Tour homes on evenings, weekends, or whenever works for you. No waiting around for one agent's calendar.
When you are ready, your agent prepares and submits your offer using standard Texas Real Estate Commission contract forms. We negotiate price, repairs, option period terms, closing costs, and any other terms on your behalf. Full-service representation at every step.
Your agent manages the entire transaction from accepted offer through closing: inspections, appraisal, title, lender coordination, and contract deadlines. At closing, your rebate appears as a line item credit on the Closing Disclosure. On a $400,000 home, that is $8,000 back.
Commission Cash Back offers rebates on both resale and new construction purchases. Here is how the two compare.
Both options provide full buyer representation from a licensed Texas agent. The key difference is that resale transactions require more hands-on agent work (showings, negotiations, inspections), while new construction transactions lean on the builder's sales process. The higher new construction rebate reflects the lower agent involvement.

Here is the math on a $400,000 resale home with a 3% buyer agent commission.
The agent keeps the full $12,000 commission. You get representation, but zero financial benefit from the commission that was offered to attract a buyer to the property.
You get the same full-service representation from a licensed Texas agent: showings, contracts, negotiations, inspections, and closing coordination. The difference is that $8,000 of that commission goes back to you at closing. We keep $4,000.
Your agent is licensed, experienced, and working in your interest. The only thing that changes is where the money goes.
Commission Cash Back operates on a volume-based model. By offering the highest rebate in Texas, we attract more clients and close more transactions. We keep a smaller percentage of a larger number of deals. That math works because we run lean, without expensive office space, print advertising, or the overhead that traditional brokerages carry.
We found a home in Stone Oak we loved and our Commission Cash Back agent handled the offer, negotiated $8,000 in repairs, and managed the entire process. The $7,000 rebate covered almost all of our closing costs. Same service, way more money in our pocket.
I was skeptical that a rebate agent would actually provide good service. Turns out our agent was more responsive than the traditional agent we used on our first home. We saved $10,000 on a home in Round Rock and used it to buy down our rate.
Buying a condo in downtown Houston. Our agent walked us through the HOA documents, negotiated the option period, and caught an issue with the survey. Got $5,600 back at closing. No reason not to do this.
