Texas buyers save more with a flat $1,995 fee than with 2% rebate programs. Three recent TX closings prove flat fee wins at every price point.

Texas buyers have options for commission rebates in 2026, but the math is clear: flat fee beats percentage every time. Here's why ShopProp's $1,995 starting fee outperforms 2% rebate programs at every price point.
