Homebuyers in Texas are saving thousands by taking advantage of little-known cashback programs and builder rebates. If you're buying a new construction home, here's how you can secure up to 2.5% back — just by working smart.
Why Do Builders Offer Rebates — But Keep Them Quiet?
Builders in Texas factor real estate agent commissions into the price of every home they sell. But if you walk in without an agent or register online yourself, they often keep the commission — and you lose your chance at a rebate.
By working with a real estate agent who specializes in new construction, you can:
Secure cashback at closing — up to 2.5% of the purchase price
Gain access to exclusive builder incentives
Benefit from negotiated upgrades and closing cost credits
Receive professional guidance and contract protection
What Does a 2.5% Rebate Look Like?
Home Price | Cashback at 2.5% |
$400,000 | $10,000 |
$600,000 | $15,000 |
$800,000 | $20,000 |
$1,000,000 | $25,000 |
This cashback can be applied toward closing costs, moving expenses, interest rate buydowns, or even post-move upgrades like fencing or landscaping.
Where in Texas Can You Claim a New Construction Rebate?
These rebate opportunities are available across nearly all major cities in Texas where builders cooperate with buyer’s agents:
Frisco – Master-planned communities like Fields, Lexington, and The Grove
Prosper & Celina – Fast-growing areas with builders like Highland, Toll Brothers, Perry Homes
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex – Popular new home zones in McKinney, Little Elm, Southlake, and Argyle
Austin Metro Area – Inventory-rich communities in Leander, Liberty Hill, Round Rock, and Bee Cave
San Antonio & Houston Suburbs – Builder-heavy markets with aggressive incentive programs
Buyers across Texas are successfully combining builder incentives plus commission rebates to maximize value.
Step-by-Step: How to Claim Your Cashback Rebate
Do NOT register at a builder's office or website without your agentBuilders typically require that your agent accompany or register you first to qualify for commission-related rebates.
Work with a buyer’s agent experienced in new constructionLook for designations like Certified New Home Specialist, CRS, or GRI.
Tour new construction homes with your agentYour agent ensures proper registration and helps you evaluate builder quality, floor plans, incentives, and available lots.
Let your agent negotiateAgents often secure better deals, including closing cost assistance, free design upgrades, or lot premiums — in addition to the rebate.
Receive your cashback at closingThe rebate is typically delivered via a credit on the closing disclosure or a post-closing check, depending on how it’s structured.
Why Most Buyers Miss This Opportunity
Many homebuyers assume that working directly with the builder gets them a better deal. In reality:
The builder’s rep works for the builder — not you.
You don’t pay extra to use your own agent.
You gain money, protection, and expert advice.
A rebate of up to 2.5% can make a major difference — especially when combined with other builder incentives like interest rate buydowns, appliance packages, or free upgrades.
Final Thoughts
Buying a new construction home in Texas is exciting — but going it alone can cost you thousands. By working with an experienced new home agent who understands builder policies and contract nuances, you can:
Get cashback up to 2.5%
Receive professional representation at no additional cost
Avoid costly mistakes and pressure tactics
Gain access to exclusive inventory and pre-market releases
Before visiting a model home or submitting your information online, take one smart step: secure a buyer’s agent who can help you maximize your budget — and get that rebate.
