Builders and communities that have a image next to them, or are listed on our Featured Builder pages, are participants in the iNest Featured Builder program. While we can provide you with a 1% Cash Back Rebate for homes by most builders, iNest's exclusive 1% Cash Back Coupons are available only for Featured Builders. These builders have made it easy for home buyers to earn Cash Back Rebates from iNest.

If the builder you prefer isn't an iNest Featured Builder, we can still help! Simply complete the iNest Homebuyer Information Form. Qualifying for a 1% Cash Back Rebate from a non-featured builder requires that iNest arrange for you to be registered with the builder prior to your visiting builder sales offices, and typically prior to your contacting the builder directly.
