The agent viewed the house and proposed a listing price of $300k, and when pushed, insisted it would not appraise for more the $305k I contact my buying agent, who was also aligned with our $325k listing price, so we decided to list with her. I just learned about redfin's 1% fee service to sell a homeowner's house That seems too low to be true, but maybe it is I have to admit it feel like being robbed to hand over $18,000 to agents when selling a $300,000 home at a 6% commission My previous house sold for $90,000 with $5,400 going to agents at a 6% commission
What makes selling a $300,000 home worth that. Redfin is a very efficient way of buying a house, it’s easy to get in and see things, their offer system is good, and the agents are usually experienced But like any other brokerage, some agents are great, and some agents suck You should research the agent rather than just assuming everyone is the same there. Redfin agents get paid their salary whether or not they do a good job They don’t have the same pressure to go out of their way to keep clients happy
With redfin, you’re much more an employee than a real estate agent You’re paid a salary and yes, you get a bonus if you make a sale and get a good review, but it’s nothing like the money you make as a solo agent You’re going to play by all of redfin’s rules and systems Redfin is for agents who can’t or don’t want to generate their own business Being an agent is all about lead. My experience with redfin agents is that they have the expectation that you as the listing agent will do their job for them
I had a redfin buyer’s agent expect me to call their buyer’s lender to help sort out a financing issue for their buyer once They subsequently got very offended when i declined Been looking at homes online for a while now, mostly via zillow, and have recently tried redfin out I like redfin's app much better, and i find their search filters to be slightly more robust, but i'm confused by redfin insofar as when i search for homes, there are large parts of the country that are grayed out. We went with redfin simply because selling with an agent who wanted 3% was an additional $10,000 out of my pocket. Is there a way to view images off the previous listing on zillow / redfin / any real estate website
I want to see pictures of the house before the renovation, from the listing from 4 months ago Is there a way to do this?
