The seller doesn’t cut
the check. You do.

Your agent’s commission has always lived inside your purchase price. Good Public Group puts a share of it back in your pocket.

Who this is for

Which buyer are you?

Most buyers today have been through a closing before. They know what they want. Where you are in that process determines how much comes back to you.

The premise

It was always in the deal.

The vast majority of transactions include a buyer-side commission — and most agents keep all of it. That was never a requirement. It was just a habit the industry never questioned out loud. At Good Public Group, that commission is tied to the work it actually took to get you to the closing table.

How much

It scales with the work.

We always request the full buyer-side commission from the seller. The difference between what we earn and what the work actually required comes back to you at closing — agreed to in writing before we ever open a door.

How you get it

Credited to you at closing.

When the deal closes, your share is credited toward your closing costs — wherever your lender allows. Good Public Group coordinates with your lender so it’s handled cleanly. Nothing about your representation changes. The credit isn’t a trade-off.

The honest answers.

Is a commission rebate legal in Texas?

Yes. Texas permits buyer rebates, and Good Public Group uses them to help buyers offset closing costs. The arrangement lives in writing inside the buyer-representation agreement and is disclosed to the lender as part of the transaction.

  • Legality: Texas law expressly allows a share of the commission to return to the buyer.
  • In writing: the rebate is fixed inside the buyer-representation agreement, signed before the first showing.
  • Disclosed: the credit is reported to the lender as part of the transaction, fully above board.
  • Unchanged service: full representation stays standard — the rebate shifts what the buyer keeps, not what the buyer gets.

Because the rebate is documented and disclosed at every step, the buyer carries no risk in claiming it. Good Public Group treats the buyer as a client to protect, so the credit is money returned in the open, not a discount buried in fine print.

How much do I get back?

The rebate scales to the effort the purchase demands — homes toured, deal complexity, and the path to closing all factor in. Every figure is agreed in writing before Good Public Group opens a single door.

  • Drivers: the amount reflects homes toured, deal complexity, and the work the path to closing demands.
  • Effort-based: a fast, simple purchase never carries a heavy commission, so more returns to the buyer.
  • Fixed early: every number is set in the buyer-representation agreement before the first door opens.
  • Aim: Good Public Group returns as much equity to the buyer as the deal allows.

No two purchases demand the same effort, so Good Public Group sets each rebate to the specific deal instead of a blanket figure. The lighter the lift to reach closing, the more equity lands back with the buyer.

Does the rebate hurt my service?

No. The rebate never touches the standard of representation. The buyer receives the full scope of service on every purchase, and the credit is carved from the commission — never from the work Good Public Group puts in.

  • Touring: Good Public Group walks each property and reads its true condition with the buyer.
  • Diligence: the team surfaces unforeseen obstacles before they threaten the purchase.
  • Advocacy: offers are written and negotiated on the buyer's behalf through closing.
  • Source of the credit: the rebate comes out of the commission, so service quality holds firm.

The rebate mirrors the work a purchase actually takes. When a buyer settles on the right home early, Good Public Group will not take a large commission on a quick, simple purchase. The credit grows to match the lighter effort, and the representation stays whole.

How is it paid?

The rebate is credited toward the buyer's closing costs, subject to the lender's guidelines for the specific loan program. Good Public Group coordinates with the lender up front so the credit posts correctly and nothing surprises the buyer on the closing disclosure.

  • Applied to: the credit lands on the buyer's closing costs at settlement.
  • Lender rules: each loan program sets its own limits, and the rebate is structured to fit them.
  • Arranged early: Good Public Group confirms the mechanics with the lender before closing, not at the table.
  • No surprises: the credit appears cleanly on the closing disclosure, exactly as agreed.

Lender programs handle commission credits differently, so Good Public Group settles the details up front and protects every dollar the buyer is owed. The buyer is treated as a client to look after, not a transaction to close.
