Step-by-Step Guide to Claiming Your New Construction Cashback Rebate in Texas

You could save up to $40,000 when buying a new construction home in Texas — but only if you follow the right steps from the start. This guide walks you through exactly how to secure your rebate without getting blocked by builder policies.

✅ Step 1: Choose an Agent Who Offers Rebates

Not all agents offer buyer rebates. You need one who:

• Specializes in new construction

• Understands builder registration policies

• Offers a clear written rebate agreement before you tour any model homes

✅ Step 2: Avoid Registering With Builders on Your Own

Do not visit a model home or fill out an online builder form without your agent.

🚫 Many builders won’t honor the agent rebate if you were previously registered without one.

Instead:

• Have your agent schedule appointments

• Let them register you with the builder before your first visit

• Avoid signing up for VIP or early-access lists online without notifying your agent

✅ Step 3: Tour New Construction Communities With Your Agent

Your agent should guide you through:

• Which builders allow full commission rebates

• Where cashback incentives are highest

• How to compare builder contracts and upgrade options

• Which quick move-in homes qualify for the best deals

✅ Step 4: Sign a Rebate Agreement Before You Go Under Contract

Your agent will prepare a Rebate Acknowledgment Form (or similar document) outlining:

• Rebate percentage (e.g., 2.5% of home price)

• Estimated dollar amount

• How and when the rebate will be issued (usually at closing)

This protects you and ensures compliance with Texas Real Estate Commission rules.

✅ Step 5: Confirm Rebate With Lender and Title Company

If you're financing, your lender must approve the rebate. Most allow it, but it must be disclosed properly.

💡 Some buyers choose to:

• Apply it to closing costs

• Use it toward rate buydowns or escrow fees

• Receive it as post-closing payment if the lender restricts credits

✅ Step 6: Close on Your New Home and Collect Your Cashback

Once you close, the title company or your agent will disburse your rebate per the agreement.

Typical rebate delivery methods:

• Title company credit at closing

• Direct check or wire from brokerage post-closing

📊 Cashback Rebate Examples

$1,000,000	$25,000	Smart tech + rate buydown
$1,400,000	$35,000	Patio, fencing, furniture

Final Thought

Too many Texas buyers lose out on builder-paid rebates simply because they didn’t know the rules. The process is simple — as long as you start it right. With the correct agent and a clear rebate plan, your dream home comes with a sizable bonus.
