Redfin has arrived in the biggest little city! People can work with a local Redfin real estate agent in Reno to buy and sell homes and can also use Redfin online and mobile tools to search for every home for sale in the greater Reno area too!
Redfin has a unique approach that combines technology and top-notch customer service to create a better real estate experience. Redfin technology empowers both our agents and customers with information and tools that make the home-buying and selling process more efficient, transparent and fun.
Because most of Redfin’s customers discover the company through its website, Redfin agents spend all their time working with existing clients and zero time looking for new business. As a result, Redfin operates very efficiently, and can pass along savings to its clients.
For buyers, Redfin refunds part of the buyer’s agent commission. For example, a homebuyer purchasing a $400,000 home with a Redfin agent would receive a refund of about $3,000. Redfin charges sellers a 1.5 percent listing fee instead of the typical 3 percent, while providing a beginning-to-end home-selling service, from pricing and staging advice and professional photography through the negotiation and closing processes. Someone selling a $400,000 home with a Redfin agent would save up to $6,000. To date, Redfin has saved its customers more than $200 million in real estate fees.
Like other Redfin agents, our real estate agents in Reno earn salaries and receive health care and other benefits. We ask every customer to review their agent and every review–the good, the bad and the ugly–is published on Redfin.com. Redfin agents’ bonus pay is based on customer satisfaction, not commission.
