If you're buying a home in Plano, Texas, there's money already sitting in the deal that most buyers never see: the buyer-agent commission. It's paid out of the transaction whether you use a traditional agent or not. With EXL Realty Group's rebate model, most of it comes back to you as an estimated closing credit.
Plano is in Collin County — an established Collin County city with major corporate campuses and a broad range of resale inventory. Here's exactly what the rebate looks like at common Plano price points.
What You Keep in Plano — The Numbers
EXL charges a 1% fee (minimum $3,000). Any seller-offered buyer-agent commission above that fee is returned to you as an estimated closing credit at closing (subject to lender approval). Assuming a 3% seller-offered commission:
| Plano price point | Traditional agent (3%) | EXL 1% fee | Your estimated credit* |
|---|---|---|---|
| $450,000 | $13,500 | $4,500 | $9,000 |
| $575,000 | $17,250 | $5,750 | $11,500 |
| $750,000 | $22,500 | $7,500 | $15,000 |
*Estimated closing credit assuming a 3% seller-offered buyer-agent commission. Actual amount depends on the specific deal terms and is subject to lender approval. Example price points shown for illustration — not a market appraisal.
Why the Rebate Matters in Plano
Most Plano transactions are resales where the seller offers a buyer-agent commission — the same commission EXL returns to you above its 1% fee, as an estimated closing credit.
Whichever Plano home you choose, the representation is identical to a traditional agent — full MLS access, showings, a comparative market analysis, offer writing and negotiation, inspection and appraisal handling, and coordination through closing. The only thing that changes is how much of the commission you keep.
How It Works
- Start your offer file — tell us the Plano home (or area) you're considering and see your estimated credit on that price.
- Sign buyer representation — Texas law requires a signed buyer-rep agreement before showings and offers; this is also how your rebate is protected.
- Tour, offer, and negotiate — Jakir, your licensed DFW broker, prepares and negotiates the offer on your behalf.
- Keep the difference — your estimated credit is applied at closing.
