Do you live in Jax? If so, we’ve got great news! When you’re done hanging ten at The Beaches, you can now team up with a local Redfin agent, surf Redfin.com and find a home to buy with room for your surfboard collection. Anyone in the greater Jacksonville area can now work with a Redfin agent to buy and sell homes and can use the Redfin online and mobile tools to search for homes on the market.
Redfin combines in-person service and cutting-edge technology to truly revolutionize the home-buying and selling process. Our technology empowers both our agents and customers with information and tools that make buying and selling a home more efficient, less stressful and more fun.
Aside from a gnarly wave, what else could get you pumped up? How about the fact that Redfin real estate agents focus on delivering great service while helping clients buy or sell homes? This efficiency, powered by the best in technology, also enables Redfin to pass savings on to our clients. Someone who buys a $300,000 home with a Redfin agent in Jacksonville would receive a refund of just over $1,400 at closing. And instead of the typical 3 percent commission, Redfin charges sellers a 1.5 percent fee, while providing a beginning-to-end home-selling service, from pricing and staging advice and professional photography through the negotiation and closing processes. This means someone selling a $300,000 home with a Redfin agent would save $4,500.
Like all Redfin real estate agents, our agents in Jacksonville earn a salary and receive health care benefits. Their bonus pay is based on customer satisfaction, not commission. This means they are incentivized to make you happy!
Redfin hired real estate broker Sandy Davidson to spearhead the business in Jacksonville. Sandy has over a decade of real estate experience in the coastal Georgia and greater Jacksonville areas. Sandy started his career in hospitality and corporate training and found his calling in real estate. He joined Bluegreen Corp. in 2004 as a real estate agent selling new construction homes and properties. Before joining Redfin, Sandy started his own real estate consulting firm providing sales, marketing and training for local builders and developers and most recently worked in new construction with Lennar Corporation.
“Because of my background in hospitality, I was instantly attracted to the Redfin business model where agents are laser-focused on providing top-notch personal service to each client,” Sandy says. “I’m excited to lead the Jacksonville team and help people buy and sell homes the Redfin way.”
Sandy plans to quickly grow the Redfin Jacksonville team. He’s already on the ground touring homes with buyers, and guiding people through the offer, negotiation, closing and home-selling processes. If you’re thinking about buying or selling, feel free to reach out to Sandy, schedule a tour or start a conversation about your home’s value.
