As locals know, Boise<\/a> has a bit of everything: vibrant neighborhoods, a charming downtown and outdoor activities for every season. And now Boise has Redfin real estate agents! Starting this week, people in Boise can work with Redfin agents<\/a> to buy and sell homes, and use Redfin.com and mobile tools to search for homes for sale across the metro area. <\/span><\/p>\n

Paul Reid will lead the Boise team and grow the business locally. Paul is a veteran Redfin agent with a decade of real estate experience. He joined Redfin as an agent in Orange County, Calif. in 2010. In 2013, he moved on to lead <\/span>Redfin\u2019s expansion to the Inland Empire<\/span><\/a> of Southern California in 2013. <\/span><\/p>\n

After helping dozens of homebuyers and sellers achieve their goals and building an important market for Redfin, Paul went on to join Redfin\u2019s new ventures team, collaborating with engineers, data scientists and leaders from across the country to evaluate and launch new growth opportunities for the company. A respected leader and innovator within Redfin and the real estate industry, we\u2019re thrilled he\u2019ll be bringing his expertise, creativity and passion for customer service to Boise. <\/span>

\n<\/span>\u201cMy wife and I had been considering a move to Boise for a while and I\u2019m so excited to plant the Redfin flag here in the Treasury Valley. We\u2019d been looking for a tight-knit community to raise our two little girls and we love that Boise has a small-town vibe, while also offering a lively downtown, the University, lots of restaurants, culture and natural beauty,\u201d said Paul.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I launched Redfin in the Inland Empire four years ago, people were very receptive to our service and technology, and I am anticipating an enthusiastic response in Boise. The Boise real estate market is competitive and homes in desirable areas are moving fast. In Redfin.com and our mobile app, Boise homebuyers have a reliable and handy source of information on homes across the area. They can sign up for Redfin Instant Updates to find out immediately when a home hits the market. If they want to go see it right away, they can schedule a tour with a Redfin agent right from their smartphone. I\u2019m excited to get started helping Boiseans navigate the market and get their dream home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Redfin model is different from traditional brokerages in that it combines advanced technology with employee-agents who are paid a salary, receive benefits and earn bonuses based on customer satisfaction. Customer reviews for Redfin agents are published on their online profiles.<\/span><\/p>\n

By pairing our own agents with our own technology, Redfin\u00a0<\/span>has created a service that is faster, better, and costs less. We meet customers through our listings-search website and mobile application, reducing the marketing costs that can keep fees high and allowing us to pass along savings to our clients. <\/span><\/p>\n

For buyers, Redfin refunds part of the agent commission. For sellers, Redfin agents will charge a 1.5 percent listing fee in Boise, rather than the typical 2.5 to 3 percent, while providing a complete home-selling service including pricing and staging advice, free professional photography and marketing. <\/span><\/p>\n

Paul is ready and excited to assist buyers and sellers in Boise. 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 <\/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
