Buy a new home in Devonshire and keep the commission

What to know before buying in Devonshire
Devonshire is a 925-acre master-planned community in Forney, about 20 miles east of downtown Dallas off US 80 at FM 548. Building started in 2008, and Haynes Development Company has developed and managed it since 2017 with Avanti Properties Group. The community was approved for about 3,000 homes, and builders sold 395 new homes there in 2025, #45 among U.S. master-planned communities in RCLCO's year-end ranking.
The Club at Devonshire has a clubhouse, a large pool and splash pool, a covered pavilion with a fireplace, an events lawn, and a view of the Dallas skyline on clear days. A second amenity center adds an oversized pool, and residents also get a dog park with separate large and small dog areas, catch-and-release fishing ponds, sport courts, and hike and bike trails along the greenbelts.
For buyers, Devonshire offers eight builders and new homes from the high $200s into the $700s. The community sits in unincorporated Kaufman County with no city tax, but every lot falls in one of three MUDs, so the tax rate on two similar homes can differ by more than a quarter point. A local buyer's agent sorts that out lot by lot and negotiates price, upgrades, and incentives with each builder.

Stack your rebate on top of Devonshire builder incentives
Most buyers walk into a model home and take the builder's deal as offered. The cheapest house in the neighborhood comes from layering three savings.
The builder's incentive
Devonshire builders advertise rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, and design-center allowances. Those stay yours when you buy with TurboHome.
Your TurboHome rebate
Builders pay the buyer's agent commission. We keep a flat fee and credit you the rest at closing, about $7,750 on a $425,000 home.
What we negotiate on top
Lot premiums, upgrade pricing, and discounts on finished spec homes. Builders rarely offer these to buyers who don't ask.

- $425,000
- Builder-paid commission (3%)
- $12,750

Example at a 3% builder-paid commission. Builders set their own buyer-agent compensation, and your rebate is confirmed in your written buyer agreement and on the closing statement.

Buying without an agent
no rebate
Buying through the builder's sales office alone returns no commission to you. Builders set their own buyer-agent compensation, so confirm it before you sign.
How we negotiate with Devonshire builders
TurboHome agents work with new-construction buyers all the time. We know where builders have room to move, and the builder's sales rep works for the builder.
Spec homes priced to move
A finished home that sits costs the builder money every month. We look for inventory that has lingered and push for a lower price or a bigger credit.
Lot premiums and upgrades
Premiums for lake, greenbelt, and cul-de-sac lots are often negotiable, and design-center upgrades carry a markup. We ask for both before you sign.
Incentives without lender lock-in
Many incentives require the builder's preferred lender. We have you get an outside quote so you can see what the incentive is really worth.
Timing the ask
Builders work toward quarter-end and section close-out targets. We time offers to the moments a sales office most needs a contract.
Contract review
Builder contracts are written by the builder. We go through deposits, construction delays, and warranty terms with you before you commit.
Independent inspections
New does not mean flawless. We recommend a third-party inspector at pre-pour, pre-drywall, and the final walkthrough.

Builder lineups change as sections open and sell out. Ask us who is selling now and which builders have move-in-ready homes.
Register us before your first model home visit
Many builders only pay a buyer's agent who is with you, or registered, on your first visit to their sales office. Walk into a Devonshire model home alone and the builder can decline to pay agent commission. Without it, there is no TurboHome rebate.
Tell us which builders and models you want to see. We register you first, so every incentive and your rebate stay on the table.

What our local agents check in Devonshire
The details that change your monthly payment or resale value, and that a model home tour won't mention.
Look up the MUD for the exact lot
Devonshire spans Kaufman County MUD #2, #3, and #4, and combined 2026 rates run from about 2.60% to 2.86%. On a $425,000 home at 2.79%, that is roughly $11,900 a year before exemptions. Village names do not reliably tell you the MUD, so we check the parcel before you sign.
Confirm school zoning by address
All of Devonshire is in Forney ISD, but campus assignments vary by section. The community site lists Griffin Elementary, Brown Middle, and North Forney High, while one builder's section lists Crosby Elementary, Rhodes Intermediate, and Jackson Middle. We verify the attendance zone for the specific address.
Price the new build against nearby resales
In October 2026, new Devonshire listings asked about $176 per square foot versus about $149 for resale homes. That gap is your negotiating room. We use it to push for a lower price, paid closing costs, or upgrades before you commit.
Register us before your first model visit
Eight builders have models or sales centers in Devonshire, including Trophy Signature Homes at 1236 Abbeygreen Road and Bloomfield Homes at 1404 Holmesfield Drive. Tell us before you tour so we are registered as your agent from day one.
Read the fine print on rate promotions
Builders here advertise low promotional rates and extras such as free appliances, usually tied to a preferred lender. We compare the promotion against a price cut and line it up with your TurboHome rebate so total credits stay within your loan program's limits.

Buying in Devonshire: common questions
Yes. When the builder pays buyer-agent compensation, TurboHome keeps a flat fee and credits you the rest at closing. On a $425,000 home with 3% compensation, that is $12,750 minus a $5,000 flat fee, or a $7,750 TurboHome rebate. Your lender confirms how the credit is applied.
