Angela is great. It amazes me how quickly she responds to emails and phone calls even though she is covering such a large customer base. Nothing personal against Angela, she is doing her absolute best to be helpful, but something is definitely dropped when an offer is written, as Angela has not seen the home and cannot make helpful suggestions nor negotiate successfully with the seller to fix certain things or negotiate on the price depending on a undesirable characteristic of the home. These things, however, are to be expected in using a massive, cost efficient brokerage service such as Redfin. In the end, I think the systematic short falls of Redfin is worth the 50% rebate they offer in the end. Angela is great though; she is doing her absolute best in her environment.

Over all quite positive experience. There was some elements missing from being proactive and staying on top of the deal. I can only compare with services of another agent during the offer stage of the deal and this service at best could be ranked - average. There was just too many things I had to do myself with little help, but over all since this is Redfin and there is a rebate check I was expecting this. I am very happy with Redfin services though and will recommend to anybody as long as they are prepared to do some investigation and prepwork themselves. I was a real estate agent in the past (Century 21) so I know very well how service can be provided and what can be done. On top I am a very demanding judge that almost never gives 10s unless someone really deserves it. Hope this explains only 8 on ranking.

Angela was very patiently helped us successfully completing the transection despite the tough communication situation. We,the buyers were out of the country and the negotiations were through a Power-of Attorney; and the seller's agent was not responsive.

We felt like we didn't get the individualized attention that first time home buyers desire. She needed to be reminded of who we were and what our situation is.

The overall experience was satisfactory, but I would say that buyers with no other contacts in the Real Estate business or without prior experience should consider a full-service agency. Redfin is great for what you pay, and they were able to handle everything that came up, although "proactive" is not a term I would use here. When you are dealing with a short escrow and unresponsive sellers, the disconnected nature of the Redfin service can be very stressful on a buyer. Again, having other resources to ask and give advice, as well as understanding the reduced commission, Redfin met my expectations, but I would repeat my warning to inexperienced buyers.

It was great to work with Angela, and she made the process very easy. She was timely in getting back to us, and sufficiently well-informed to answer most of our questions. Where she didn't have an immediate answer, she would research the issue and follow up with us. Angela was also very helpful in working with Escrow, at the end of the purchase process, to ensure that spurious escrow fees were removed from our closing costs. Our two criticisms: (1) We wish that she had done more to explain certain negotiated terms that we came across in the offer/counter-offer process (specifically, HOA Transfer fees - it would have been helpful to get a clearer understanding of what these fees were, and how much they would be, earlier in the negotiations process, as they became a point of contention later on in the process). (2) We wish that Angela had been more proactive in working with Escrow earlier in the process. Although she was very helpful in the end to get certain unnecessary fees removed, we felt that we were left to negotiate with Escrow by ourselves throughout much of the process. It might have been easier and less stressful had Angela stepped in earlier to assist. Despite these two issues, Angela, on the whole, did an outstanding job in representing us and negotiating for us, and we would be more than happy to work with her and Redfin again.

Angela is professional, patient, knowledgable, and not pushy like some realtors. She's sometimes difficult to reach by phone, but she usually responds by phone/email within 3 hours. I would continue to work with her.

With USAA, they have a 'loan status' page that the underwriters manage to let me know the status on the loan. With Redfin, I would have liked to see something similar that the transaction coordinator/agent could fill out that I could look at. I think its important for first time buyers especially who are nervous that they are going to screw something up since they never see the agent. Something that has a list of things like offer submited, offer accepted, the list of contingencies with due dates and schedule dates and other things with the escrow company. I know it would have freed both myself and Angela up more because I wouldnt continuously call to ask how things were going and what was next. It would also be an instantaneous look for angela to look at our file and remember where we are.

It would be nice to improve / refine the search options...ie search for houses with a pool, etc. Also, on the main search page, it should show attached or detached. Sometimes when I search for only a house and don't click condo, there are still some attached properties that make the list (probably from bad listings by the listing agent) Then I click on the details and it opens up the new window, only to find out that it is an attached home/condo. If the picture window on the right hand side of the main screen said attached or detached, it could help quickly scroll through the main list. Also, the showing agent (Anna) she was a very nice lady, but didn't seem to have research completed. We knew from another agent that a house we were seeing was only taking offers for one more day due to multiple offers. Anna seemed surprised by that. If we hadn't heard from another agent we might have missed the chance to put in an offer by the deadline (this was for 9649 Frascatti in Santee). Also, it is tough as she is the only showing agent in San Diego County. I know it is cheaper to use redfin due to less money spent showing properties, but it is hard to schedule a house tour when there is only one agent in SD county and they don't show past 5:30 (most people get off at 5:00 like me).
