Selling with Redfin - Any cons??

Hi, I'm evaluating selling with Redfin (1.5% list fee) vs other realtors (2.5% list fee). Is there any con to selling with Redfin, that makes the more expensive neighborhood realtors a better option? Update - my home is a run of the mill condo in a good school district. #housing #mortgage #redfin

Definitely do it. Screw the leeches on society that are realtors

Well, realtors are still involved, but one step away is still better

Well, my realtor on redfin lives in the neighborhood too. So, that argument is not going to work.

That's a good idea. Redfin also assigns a local realtor to you. You don't have anything to loose.

My experience with Redfin agent is not good.

Why, can you elaborate?

RF commission is low. When a buyer wants to see your house, the agent may not be as responsive. I saw a house that I liked, contacted a RF agent, they never get back to me. Maybe an isolated incident though.

They tend to be less experienced and they have to answer all those website queries so they’re more distracted then your average. If your house is something that sells itself it’s probably fine but if there’s anything out of the ordinary I’d say it’s worth finding someone else with more experience.

Redfin agent here. 400+ homes sold. My office team handles the inquiries so I can focus on customers, so not neccisarily true.

No experience selling but buying via Redfin agent was really good.

A lot of companies sell for like 1% now. Are you in the bay?

With this market, there is no diff, any house sells now even if you list yourself

I didn’t like their fine print. I don’t remember details but something to the effect of you being on the hook for up to a year after closing. If you’re in a hot neighborhood then find a buyer and most realtors do communication and paperwork for 1%..
