Today Redfin launches its business in <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/8903\/TX\/Houston\">Houston, Texas<\/a>, the third major market we\u2019ve opened this year. Houstonians, you should know that Redfin likes a good party, and we\u2019re hosting one on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/event\/5500261430\">Wednesday, March 20 at Hearsay Gastro Lounge<\/a> to get to know our new friends and neighbors. Come one, come all!<\/p>\n<p>There are tons of reasons to be excited about Redfin in Houston. It\u2019s the largest city in Texas, which means that about 2.2 million more people now have access to the best real estate website with ALL the homes for sale, and agents who are paid to make clients happy. What\u2019s more, Redfin has a track record in the Lone Star state. We launched in <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2010\/12\/dallas_deal_room_facebook_partner_.html\">Dallas in 2010<\/a>, and in <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/all_according_to_plan_redfin_launches_austin_service.html\">Austin just last year<\/a>. Houston\u2019s vibrant business community makes Redfin feel right at home, and we couldn\u2019t be more thrilled to be rounding off our <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/states\/TX\">Texas<\/a> presence there.<\/p>\n<p>The most exciting part of expanding to a new city is meeting and hiring the very best local real estate agents who share our values and can help us make a difference in the local market by putting the customer first in every transaction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/tara-waggoner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-12556\" alt=\"Tara Waggoner_Redfin Houston Area Manager\" src=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Tara-Waggoner_Redfin-Houston-Area-Manager1-153x300.jpg\" width=\"153\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Tara-Waggoner_Redfin-Houston-Area-Manager1-153x300.jpg 153w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/Tara-Waggoner_Redfin-Houston-Area-Manager1.jpg 309w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/tara-waggoner\">Tara Waggoner<\/a>, Redfin\u2019s new area manager will be leading the charge, working with homebuyers and sellers across greater Houston including <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/neighborhood\/31596\/TX\/Houston\/Downtown-Houston-TX\">Downtown<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/neighborhood\/52777\/TX\/Houston\/Galleria\">The Galleria<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/26049\/TX\/The-Woodlands\">The Woodlands<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/8996\/TX\/Humble\">Humble<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/zipcode\/77429\">Cypress<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/9764\/TX\/Katy\">Katy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/city\/18102\/TX\/Sugar-Land\">Sugarland<\/a>, Pearland, and League City. Tara has been in the business for more than 15 years and brings a long-standing commitment to customer service. She\u2019s most looking forward to using Redfin\u2019s technology to help educate her clients on the local market while delivering better service and value to them. As demand grows, Tara will be hiring a team of local agents to help even more homebuyers and sellers in the region.<\/p>\n<p>Just like in our other markets, Redfin\u2019s Houston agents will be paid salaries and bonuses based on customer satisfaction, not commissions. We make those customer satisfaction ratings public by surveying every customer and posting every review, the good, the bad, and the ugly, on our site. The efficiency of our technology and unique business model allow us to pass savings onto our customers. In Houston, someone moving from one $300,000 home to another would save about $7,000 in fees.<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s launch means an additional 22,000 new active listings for Houston homebuyers to search using Redfin\u2019s top-rated website and mobile apps. Houston homebuyers will soon have access to <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2011\/03\/time_to_shake_things_up_again.html\">Tour Insights<\/a>, comments written by Redfin agents about homes they have seen in person and <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/blog\/2013\/02\/redfin_publishes_thousands_of_real-time_insights_on_what_it_takes_to_win_a_bidding_war.html\">Offer Insights<\/a>, details from Redfin agents about what it takes to win a bidding war in a given neighborhood. Homeowners in Houston can check out <a href=\"https:\/\/redfin.com\/what-is-my-home-worth\">Redfin\u2019s Home Price Tool<\/a>, which uses data about nearby similar homes to help you hone in on your home\u2019s value, a helpful starting point for a conversation with an agent about selling your home.<\/p>\n<p>You can meet the whole Redfin team at our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/event\/5500261430\">launch celebration on the 20th<\/a>!
