Texas home buyers can legally receive a portion of the buyer agent commission back as a rebate at closing. With the average Texas home price around $340,000, that rebate can mean thousands in savings — money that goes toward your down payment, closing costs, or straight into your pocket.
ShopProp has helped Texas buyers save with flat-fee representation starting at just $1,995 — backed by a managing broker with 19 years of experience and over $1 billion in closed transactions.
Are Home Buyer Rebates Legal in Texas?
Yes. Texas is one of the most rebate-friendly states in the country. The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) explicitly allows buyer agent commission rebates. There are no restrictions on the amount or form of the rebate — it can be applied at closing as a credit or paid directly to the buyer.
How Much Can You Save?
On a $340,000 Texas home with a typical 2.5% buyer agent commission ($8,500), here is what you would keep with ShopProp versus traditional agents:
- Traditional agent: Keeps the full $8,500 commission. You get $0 back.
- ShopProp flat fee ($1,995): You keep $6,505 as a rebate at closing.
- Texas Homes 2% Rebate: Returns ~$5,100 (2% of price) but charges more as prices rise.
ShopProps flat-fee model means your savings grow as the home price increases — unlike percentage-based rebate programs where the agents cut scales up too.

Why ShopProp vs Texas Rebate Companies
Most Texas rebate companies charge a percentage of the home price. That means on a $500,000 home, they might keep $5,000-$7,500. ShopProp charges a flat $1,995 regardless — you keep the difference.
