Redfin is a real estate broker like Century 21, but online like E-Trade. Our listing customers get their home ready to sell, while we make sure it's priced right, listed in the local MLS, and all over the web for maximum traffic.
- Agents: Our experienced, local agents always put you first.
- Information: Deeper, smarter data means your home gets priced right.
- Exposure: We bring your home to a huge online audience of home-buyers.
- Value: You get superior service and keep more of your hard-earned cash.
In major metropolitan areas, our clients work with real estate agents employed by Redfin. Rather than charging you 3% of the home price to sell your home, Redfin charges only 1.5%, with a minimum fee of $5,500. If you choose to buy and sell with Redfin within a nine-month period, you could save an additional $1,000 on your second transaction.*
You'll save money without skimping on service. Redfin's listing service includes an agent visit to your home, a professional photo package, flyers, open houses, feedback on your home's showing, weekly email updates on your listing, and recommendations for some of our favorite service providers. There's no upfront fee – you're charged only when your home sells.
There are several other expenses you'll need to consider when deciding whether to sell your home. Redfin's lower fee can help, but you'll also need to factor in how much you owe on any mortgages, fees to the buyer's agent, and closing costs, including title, escrow and excise tax. These fees can total 8 - 10% of your home's selling price.
In outlying areas, we offer you a choice of partner agents who will reduce their listing fee 15%, an amount usually worth between $1,000 and $2,000.**
As you work through our site, it will always be clear if a Redfin agent is available to you, or if the area is only served by partners.
Whether working with Redfin agents or our partner agents, we give you a complete account of the agent's performance with other listings, and significant savings.
* Except in Oregon, where we can't offer a refund.
**Except in the case of short sales. Short sale commissions are paid for by the banks, and your agent will negotiate directly with the bank on commission.
