For the most recent data on Redfin agent income, please see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/agent-pay-report-2025\/\">2025 analysis<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin strives to be the best employer in real estate by offering excellent compensation, benefits and opportunities for career growth. The median income for all Redfin lead agents was $112,200 in 2020. That\u2019s more than double the median gross income of $49,700 that a typical real estate agent makes in a year, according to data from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/research-and-statistics\/quick-real-estate-statistics\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">National Association of Realtors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin median income includes salary, bonuses from home sales and Redfin stock. It <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">does not<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> include the value of the benefits and expenses that Redfin covers for agents, which total about $25,000 per agent per year. Benefits are described in more detail below. Redfin agents earn these benefits because they are employees, not independent contractors. Traditional agents, who tend to be independent contractors working solely on commissions, don\u2019t typically receive benefits and usually pay for all of their business expenses out of pocket.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-72297\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Redfin-Agent-Pay.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Redfin-Agent-Pay.jpg 960w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Redfin-Agent-Pay-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Redfin-Agent-Pay-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin Agents Have Strong Earnings in Year One<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin puts agents on a path to earn six figures after their first year by providing team support, training, technology and introductions to 100+ serious customers per year. <\/span><b>\u00a0In their first year at the company, Redfin real estate agents earned an average of $63,000, which is already $13,000 more than the annual agent income reported by the National Association of Realtors.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container \" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"Agent Quick Takes: Redfin Agents describe their first year at Redfin\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/2Opt-kjaD_E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opportunity to Grow Income Quickly\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real estate agents are able to rapidly grow their earnings at Redfin as they are promoted within the company. Redfin agents who have been at the company for 3 or more years earn an average income of $160,000. While there is no direct data on how much agents at other brokerages earn over time, data from the National Association of Realtors finds agents with 3 to 5 years of experience earned a median of $45,400 before taxes and expenses and agents with 6 to 15 years of experienced earned a median of $68,300 before taxes and expenses.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As in most industries, average agent pay at Redfin varies by market. In markets with higher home prices and cost of living, Redfin agents earn more on average. For example, in Austin, the average pay is $67,000 for agents in their first year and $173,000 for agents who\u2019ve been at Redfin for three or more years. You can see the average income and <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.redfin.com\/guides\/how-are-redfin-agents-paid\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">how Redfin agents are paid<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> by market in our compensation guide.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salary or Commissions? How Redfin Agents Get Paid<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most agents at traditional brokerages are paid solely on commissions from closed sales. As employees, Redfin agents earn a base salary and bonuses for every home purchase or sale they close. The bonus amount is tied to the price of the home. In the first year, about 30% of agent pay is base salary and 70% comes from transaction bonuses. As agents grow their income at Redfin, the balance between transaction bonuses and base salary tends to shift with more earnings coming from bonuses.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agents who meet performance goals are rewarded with higher base salary and higher transaction bonuses.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400;\">Redfin also rewards agents who develop loyal customers by paying higher bonuses for repeat, referral and sphere customers. <\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 400;\">The top performing agents also earn Redfin stock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe consistency of income is a big plus for me,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/matt-ferris\">Matt Ferris<\/a>, who started with the company in 2020 in Northern Virginia. \u201cI\u2019m regularly meeting customers through Redfin\u2019s site, so I have much more predictable income and consistent sales than I had as a traditional agent. The base salary provides security if you have a slower month.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen I was a traditional agent, it was stressful to feel like each sale was so important and necessary to support my family,\u201d Ferris explained. \u201cThe Redfin approach has been liberating. I don\u2019t feel any pressure to \u2018sell\u2019 a client, just help them. I don&#8217;t have to treat a barbeque or kid\u2019s birthday party like a marketing opportunity, but I\u2019m proud to talk about what I do and let the conversation flow naturally. I meet serious customers at Redfin and I can just focus on giving them the best advice, even if that advice is to save up for a bit longer to get the home they really want.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin Spends $25,000 per Agent for Benefits and Expenses Every Year<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to paying agents well, Redfin spends approximately $25,000 per agent per year for benefits and business expenses. All of Redfin\u2019s employee agents are eligible for medical, dental and vision plans for themselves and their families. Redfin\u2019s plans offer comprehensive coverage with affordable premiums and low out-of-pocket costs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;In 2018 before I joined Redfin, I was working at a traditional brokerage and became very ill,&#8221; said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\/lisa-tucker\">Lisa Tucker<\/a>, a Washington, D.C. agent. \u201cI didn\u2019t have health coverage, so I wasn\u2019t able to get the care that I needed. I was so sick that I wasn\u2019t able to work at all for two months and my business dried up. It was a scary time that made me question if I could stay in this industry that I love.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShortly after, I found Redfin and learned about the benefits and fell in love with the customer-centric culture. It&#8217;s rare for brokerages to offer health insurance to real estate agents at all, let alone such good healthcare at a low cost. I had no idea that there was a brokerage that would let me do what I love, earn a good living and take care of myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to healthcare, Redfin agents earn paid vacation and parental leave and disability insurance. They can enroll in 401(k), healthcare and dependent care flexible savings accounts, and coverage for fertility treatments. Employees are also able to enroll in our employee stock purchase plan, which lets employees purchase Redfin shares at a discounted price. This in addition to shares of Redfin that are awarded to high-performing agents as part of their compensation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All Expenses Paid<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin covers the traditional costs of doing business, which we estimate saves each Redfin Agent $14,000 on average every year. Redfin agents have virtually no expenses because Redfin covers it all:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MLS dues, license renewal fees and association fees<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marketing\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Listing materials, including signage, lockboxes, flyers, postcards, 3D scans, online advertisements and other advertising materials<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mileage\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mobile phone service<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Laptop, printer and ink<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Training, coaching and continuing education<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Traditional real estate agents often pay for all of this out of their own pockets, as well as self-employment taxes. The cost to get a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/guides\/how-to-become-a-real-estate-agent\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">real estate license<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, cover annual dues and fees and purchase online leads is high enough to send a new licensee into debt before they\u2019ve ever made a sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn traditional real estate, you have to spend money to make money,\u201d said Tucker. \u201cFor one listing, you\u2019re paying for the installation of a sign, a lockbox, a photographer, social media ads, the list goes on. You spend hundreds or thousands of dollars before you make a dime. Not only do I not have to come out of pocket for anything at Redfin, all of these services are provided standard for every customer. So I\u2019m offering the best product to my clients, all for a low fee.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin Technology and Support: Priceless<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$25,000 per agent is a conservative estimate of the value of Redfin benefits because it doesn\u2019t include Redfin\u2019s technology and support. It is hard to put a price on the support agents receive. Every agent is backed by a team of people\u2014 also employees of Redfin who earn salary and benefits\u2014 to help them serve customers well. This team structure is a big reason Redfin agents are three times more productive than agents at other brokerages.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every lead agent works with a coordinator who helps handle paperwork, schedule closings and follow-up with lenders, attorneys and title companies to keep deals on track. Coordinators also help get homes ready to list by scheduling photoshoots, creating marketing materials and launching listings on the MLS. Redfin\u2019s tour coordinators and support agents field phone calls and inquiries from the website, set up meetings with new customers and schedule tours on behalf of the Redfin agent. Redfin agents support each other and share knowledge. Team managers and the internal training team provide personalized coaching and opportunities for professional development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This team approach allows agents to focus their energy on delivering great service instead of managing logistics and paperwork. Redfin agents spend most of their time meeting clients, learning about their goals, giving them good advice and fiercely advocating for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Redfin agents are also supported by a network of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/careers\/real-estate\/associate-agents\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">associate agents<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These are independent contractors who hang their license with Redfin and get paid to attend showings and other appointments on behalf of Redfin\u2019s lead agents. Associate agents help Redfin customers see homes right away, even if their lead agent is not available at the same time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this coordination is powered by Redfin\u2019s tech platform, which is built by Redfin engineers in conjunction with agents. Redfin\u2019s website and mobile apps are the business generator drawing customers to Redfin with a beautiful search experience. Redfin agents don\u2019t have to spend any time or money on \u201clead\u201d generation. They meet 100+ serious customers every year through the Redfin website and repeat and referral customers. Behind Redfin\u2019s consumer site is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/redfin-technology-for-agents\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Agent Tools<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Redfin\u2019s software for agents. Agent Tools helps agents work efficiently, so they spend more time with customers.\u00a0 Agent Tools makes it easy for agents to connect with clients, coordinate with teammates, manage appointments, and track paperwork, transaction deadlines and milestones, all in one platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mission and Culture: It\u2019s More than the Money<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyone at Redfin, from agents and coordinators to accountants and engineers, rallies around our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/careers\/redfin-values\">mission<\/a> to redefine real estate in the consumer\u2019s favor.
