We’re looking for a new house this year, our first time buying and selling simultaneously. Our previous Realtor quoted a 5% fee, but Redfin offers 1-2%. I’m torn—Redfin could save us money, but I worry about their personal attention. Any experiences with Redfin or advice?
hi arianna hear this, Redfin is a reputable company with a unique business model. If you prioritize lower fees and are open to a team-based approach, it might be a suitable choice for you.
While Redfin offers lower fees many customers report mixed experiences with their service quality and agent responsiveness. Some users found Redfin agents to be less communicative and less motivated, which can lead to mistakes and a lack of personal attention. If you value personalized service and support, especially as a first-time buyer and seller, the realtor that quoted 5% might be worth the higher fee. However, if saving money is your priority and you’re comfortable handling more of the process yourself, Redfin could be a good option.
