Kansas City is home to many things: the World Series champion Royals, the <\/span>Country Club Plaza<\/span><\/a> and the upcoming Men\u2019s Big 12 Basketball Tournament. And now it\u2019s also home to Redfin real estate agents! People in Kansas City can now work with Redfin agents to buy and sell homes, and use Redfin.com and mobile tools to search for every home for sale in the <\/span>Kansas City metro area<\/span>, in both <\/span>Kansas<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Missouri<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Redfin agents spend all of their time working with clients and zero time looking for new business, since most Redfin customers discover us through our website. As a result, Redfin operates very efficiently, and we can pass along savings to our clients. <\/span><\/p>\n

Redfin charges sellers a 1.5 percent listing fee, instead of the typical 3 percent while still providing a beginning-to-end home selling service that includes everything from pricing and staging advice to professional photography. Someone selling a $300,000 home with a Redfin agent would save up to $4,500.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like other Redfin agents, our real estate agents in Kansas City 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\u2019 bonus pay is based on customer satisfaction, not commission.<\/span><\/p>\n

To grow the brokerage locally, Redfin hired real estate agent and Kansas Jayhawk alum<\/span> Wayne Gray<\/span><\/a>. Wayne has been a real estate agent in Kansas City since 1998 and has managed his own brokerage since 2010. He was attracted to Redfin\u2019s dedication to customer advocacy and transparency. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A native Kansas Citian who believes in the importance of community, Wayne has previously served on the Board of Trustees for Kansas City Kansas Community College and as a City Council member in his current hometown of Bonner Springs, KS.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI love the person-to-person connections you make as a real estate agent,\u201d said Wayne. \u201dThe Redfin process of putting the customer first enables me to get to know my clients and provide them with the best possible service.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Wayne is already touring homes with buyers and guiding them through the offer, negotiation and closing processes, as well as helping people sell their homes. If you\u2019re thinking about buying or selling, feel free to <\/span>connect with our local team<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>instantly book a home tour<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Redfin.com and the Redfin\u00a0<\/span>mobile apps<\/span><\/a> also offer several ways to find out about homes for sale and about the local market, even if you\u2019re just dipping your toe in the water, including:<\/span><\/p>\n
