Frequently Asked Questions

We pay commission rebates at closing as a  credit against buyer closing costs, including discount points, prepaid taxes and  insurance, HOA fees, lender fees, etc. A credit at closing is as  good as cash because it directly reduces the amount of cash you would  otherwise have to bring to closing.

As per TRID/RESPA regulations, rebates are not paid outside closing. As summarized on the Texas Real Estate Commission website:  "All rebates should be reflected in the closing disclosure form and any  cash rebate to a buyer should be made with the consent of the buyer’s  lender.  A license holder may not pay a rebate outside of the  transaction." 


Most clients are wasteful  of real estate professionals’ time and resources and the real estate  industry is similarly wasteful of clients’ resources. Most realtors  have to charge their serious clients much more than necessary to make  up for all the fruitless efforts they expend on not-so-serious,  high-maintenance people they have to deal with. They also must subsidize  an inefficient business model with big offices, broker overrides, team  leaders, billboards, etc. 

REBATE TEXAS and our clients partner together to eliminate the waste – and  to share the rewards! 

We eliminate waste from our side (by running a  lean operation with minimal overhead) and our buyer clients eliminate  waste from their side (by doing their own market research and by being  low-maintenance clients).

Only well-prepared, low-maintenance, and conscientious buyers qualify for our program – clients who earn their rebate. We believe smart, serious home buyers deserve a smart, serious broker (and vice versa).


Rebates must be applied at closing and appear on the closing statement. If buyer is using a mortgage,  Rebates must be allowed by buyer's lender. The 2% and 2.5% rebates  assume a 3% commission is offered. On purchases below 300k, a minimum broker commission  applies: 3000 for resale and 1500 for new construction. The 2.5% new home rebate is for  homes sold through salespeople in model homes representing builders that  use their own contracts, where broker assistance required is minimal.  Boutique builders that use third-party listing agents are handled as resales. Rebates may be reduced for distressed properties, corporate listings, and when clients require multiple showings and/or offers.  New home rebates are subject to builder approval. Please contact us for a complete list of terms and conditions.  


No!  Only smart, conscientious, decisive, well-prepared home buyers -  who respect our time and their own - qualify for the rebate program.   Indecisive, unprepared, unfocused home shoppers do not.   


We’re not the best for everybody - but for smart, well-prepared buyers, 3 main things set REBATE TEXAS way ahead of the competition:
1) Proven Results,
2) Higher Client Satisfaction, and
3) Bigger Rebates! 


Yes and no.  We’re like the economy airline that provides the essential services at a great price by not building into the price many extra  non-essentials.  Foe resale buyers, we provide a limited number of serious showings, contracts and amendments, negotiations, final  walkthroughs, and guidance from start to finish. For new construction,  the builder does the showings and contracts, which is why the rebate is  larger for new construction homes. We won’t shuttle your checks to the  title company and we won’t sit next to you at closing, but we'll verify  your closing statement ahead of time and keep you on-track throughout  the process. Our clients are willing to forgo hand-holding and get thousands of dollars back at closing instead! 


Yes!  You can confirm it here right on the Texas Real Estate Commission’s website.  Rebates  are helping introduce competition in an industry where true price  competition is rare, despite the paradigm shift that has occurred in  technology.  In 2005 the US Department of Justice successfully sued the  Kentucky Real Estate Commission to allow rebates in Kentucky.  In 2007,  the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and DOJ issued a joint report “Competition in the Real Estate Brokerage Industry,” praising new business models like ours that are finally starting to make the real estate industry more competitive! 


In our experience, buyer closing costs for PITI  mortgages on home purchases in the 300k-700k range in Texas typically  run about 2.7-3.1%, which is more than the 2% Resale Rebate and the 2.5%  New Home Rebate, so this isn't usually a problem.  This can be as issue if a new construction builder is offering a closing costs incentive in addition to our realtor rebate. Ask your lender for a worksheet of your estimated  cash cash to close, inclusive of the expected rebate.  If the expected  rebate exceeds your closing costs, let us know the approximate excess  amount as soon as possible, so we can help strategize solutions.  We  have provided multiple rebates of $25,000 - $28,000, so we can usually  figure a way for you to utilize the entire expected rebate.

Select a preferred area and 1-3 active listings in that area. Drive by the home(s)  first to be sure you like the location, neighborhood, traffic level, etc. When you are ready to visit your  finalists and to submit a reasonable offer (not a lowball bid) within 24 hours after the showing, give me a call.

When you're ready to make a viable offer,  we'll prepare a draft  offer and buyer-broker agreement for your review. We’ll get these signed electronically and submit your offer to the listing  agent. We'll work closely with you to negotiate the final price and terms, and  help you address any concerns that may arise out of the inspection. 

STEP 5: Inspections

STEP 6: Close with Rebate

STEP 6: Close with Rebate

We'll help you select an inspector, get inspections approved, and provide guidance on preparing a repair request list. We'll submit the list to the seller's agent and negotiate an amendment for repairs or a financial concession in lieu of repairs. 

STEP 6: Close with Rebate

STEP 6: Close with Rebate

STEP 6: Close with Rebate

A few days before closing, you'll get a statement showing your rebate credit and the net amount to bring to closing. At closing, you’ll get the keys to your new home, and you’ll be  thousands of dollars wealthier than if you had used a regular buyer’s  broker who keeps the entire 3% (or a regular listing broker who keeps  the entire 6%).
