What do Cincinnati<\/a>, Louisville<\/a> and Salt Lake City<\/a> have in common? Not a whole lot until today when they officially become home to Redfin agents, who are paid based on customer satisfaction! People in these areas can now search for homes on Redfin.com and the Redfin iOS and Android apps.<\/p>\n

Redfin has a unique approach to real estate that combines technology and top-notch customer service to create a better home-buying and selling experience for consumers. Redfin 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.<\/p>\n

Redfin real estate agents spend zero time looking for new business. This means we can focus all our time on delivering great service while helping clients buy or sell their homes. This efficiency enables Redfin to pass savings on to clients through refunds and lower listing fees.<\/p>\n

Everyone who buys a home with a Redfin agent in Cincinnati, Louisville and Salt Lake City will receive a refund at closing. For example, someone buying a $300,000 home with a Redfin agent in these cities would receive a refund of over $1,500 at closing. For sellers, Redfin charges a 1.5 percent fee instead of the typical 3 percent commission. Redfin agents provide a beginning-to-end home-selling service, from pricing and staging advice and professional photography through the negotiation and closing processes. On average, a person who sells a home with a Redfin agent saves about $6,800. To date, Redfin has saved its customers more than $200 million in real estate fees.<\/p>\n

Like other Redfin real estate agents, our agents in Cincinnati, Louisville and Salt Lake City earn salaries and receive health care and other benefits. Redfin agents are paid bonuses based on customer satisfaction, not commission.<\/p>\n
