Buy your Texas home for a flat fee from $4,999.

Buyer representation with KAT Realty Group is a flat $4,999 anywhere in Texas for homes under $900,000. Higher-priced homes have their own fixed luxury property fee: $5,999 from $900K to $2M, $6,999 from $2M to $3M and $9,999 above $3M. A traditional buyer agent at 2.5% to 3% would charge $12,500 to $15,000 on a $500,000 purchase.

Nothing upfront. The full buyer fee is due at closing — and only if the purchase actually closes. If you never buy a house, you never owe anything. (The $600 at signing applies only to sellers listing a home, not to buyers.) That is the whole structure: you are not paying for a percentage of a price, you are paying for the work of getting a transaction closed.

The same scope a 3% agent provides: comparable-sale analysis before you write an offer, offer drafting and negotiation, option-period and inspection guidance, repair and repair-credit negotiation, coordination with your lender and the title company, and closing coordination, all handled remotely by your agent. The only things not included are showings and the final walkthrough, booked in our Store from $60. It is full representation, not a flat-fee MLS listing or an unbundled à-la-carte service.

Just two things: showings and the final walkthrough. You book those in our Store (from $60) and a licensed local agent meets you at the home. Everything else — offer strategy, negotiation, contracts, inspection review, repair negotiation and closing coordination — is included and handled remotely by your agent. That’s the design: working remotely keeps the fee flat, so more of the seller-paid commission comes back to you as your rebate.

In most Texas sales the seller still offers to cover a buyer-agent commission. Where that offer is larger than the flat fee and your lender permits it, the difference is rebated to you at closing. On a $700,000 home with a 3% offered commission, that is $21,000 against a $4,999 fee. Lenders set their own rules on how a rebate may be applied, so the amount is confirmed with your loan officer before closing rather than promised up front.

Flat fee real estate is fully legal in Texas. KAT Realty agents operate under the same TREC licensing requirements as traditional agents. KAT Realty Group is a full-service flat fee real estate service operating under Texas Ally Real Estate Group, a licensed Texas brokerage.

Yes. Builder purchases are covered at the same flat fee, and having your own representation matters more on new construction, not less — the sales agent in the model home works for the builder. Most Texas builders pay a buyer-agent commission, but you generally have to be represented from your first visit, so register with your agent before you tour.

On lower-priced homes. Below roughly $200,000, a 3% commission and a $4,999 flat fee land close to each other, and the advantage largely disappears. The math favors the flat fee as the price rises — it is most dramatic above $500,000, where a percentage fee grows and the flat fee does not.
