Loren was responsive in putting together the offer for us and in making changes we asked for. This is the first house we are buying and had sent some questions to Loren, asking for any bit of advice but never heard back from him. Maybe that level of personalized service isn't part of the RedFin experience, which may be why we get back 50% of the closing costs (which is great). Overall, our experience has been good, it would've been good to hear back on some of our questions.

I think he is a pleaseant fellow. My telephone call with him were polite and courteous and to the point. He could have done the job for us except for the market. |

Would have preferred additionally if someone from Redfin actually came out to the house at least one time. I wish I could have had the option to pay for an agent's time to help me host broker's open. The economy sucks right now. I cannot blame Redfin for the house not selling. Lots of other real estate agents in the area criticized me for using Redfin. Even lectured me out sometimes. I think some of them boycott taking their clients to Redfin houses. Did that make a difference for me this time? I'm not sure. |

I sold a house through Redfin in 2004 and had a good experience. That house was a fairly standard suburban home. I was less impressed this time - our house that is for sale now has a waterfront share and Loren didn't have knowledge of this niche market. When we changed agents, they arrived at our first meeting with four different reports they had generated through a a real estate assessor they work with. They had also spent two full days visiting comparables in the area, and really knew how to compare our homes to those nearby, even down to remodel details. We were able to drill down significantly on all the data they presented, and realized through their guidance that a) we had been priced too high, and b) we needed to do a bit of clean-up work. I love the concept of Redfin, but this time around I found the data that is the cornerstone of your business was not deep enough to set Loren up for success. Loren, as an aside, was always prompt, courteous and professional, and my guess is he was doing the best he could with the large number of properties he was handling. I think you need to get better at collecting and analyzing data on niche markets, because really every house is a part of a niche market. I'm also surprised you can't do a search on your website for "Waterfront" properties - this would be a simple feature to add, and an important one in the Seattle area. Last feedback - Vicaso did a good job w/most pics but some were blurry. |

I did not purchase through Redfin so I provided a neutral rating for the last question. I'm sure the process would be as easy to buy as it was to sell.

Although Loren attempted to be helpful, the nature of the transaction as a short sale did not make the process easy for any of us.
