Texas Buyer Rebate | Get Up to $73,005 Back at Closing

Q: How much can I get back with a buyer rebate in Texas?

The amount depends on the home price and the commission offered by the seller. On a $1,000,000 Texas home with a 2.5% buyer agent commission ($25,000), ShopProp charges a flat fee starting at $1,995 and rebates up to $20,005 back to you at closing.

How the Texas Buyer Rebate Works

When you buy a home in Texas, the seller typically offers a buyer agent commission — usually 2% to 3% of the sale price. With a traditional agent, they keep the entire commission. With ShopProp, we charge a flat fee starting at $1,995 and rebate the difference directly to you at closing.

On a $1,000,000 Texas home with a 2.5% buyer commission ($25,000), your rebate would be $20,005. On a $2,000,000 home, you'd get $45,005 back. The higher the home price, the bigger your rebate.

Every ShopProp buyer in Texas works with a managing broker — not just a solo agent. That means higher expertise, better negotiation, and full-service representation at a fraction of the cost.

Why Buyer Rebates Are Legal in Texas

Buyer rebates are fully legal in Texas. The Texas Real Estate Commission permits agents to rebate a portion of their commission to buyers. The U.S. Department of Justice actively supports commission rebates as pro-consumer and pro-competition.

Despite this, most Texas agents don't offer rebates because it cuts into their income. ShopProp was built differently — our flat-fee model is designed from the ground up to pass savings to you.

How It Compares to Traditional Agents

Model	Buyer Pays	You Get Back
