Collette Canepa is a <\/span><\/i>Redfin agent<\/span><\/i><\/a> in Los Angeles. She joined Redfin in April 2024 after nearly two decades in the traditional real estate world and has quickly become a rising star on our southern California team. We caught up with Collette as she approaches her one-year anniversary at Redfin to hear more about her experience so far.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Why did you decide to join Redfin?<\/b><\/p>\n

Prior to Redfin I was at Keller Williams for eight years, then switched to Equity Union for a while. Traditional real estate was all I knew. I joined Redfin because I felt like my business needed a shift. I could see that my pipeline was starting to dry up, and I was eager to start working with more clients. Redfin really piqued my interest because I knew it could help me meet those clients and build up my business. The benefits were a big driver for me as well. As an independent agent, I was paying thousands of dollars a month in health insurance for my family of four\u2014and the coverage was terrible. On top of that, I loved that Redfin would take care of my other business expenses like licensing fees, mileage and marketing. It felt like the <\/span>Redfin Next<\/span><\/a> model was well-suited to my personality and would allow me to focus on my clients.<\/span><\/p>\n

How has joining Redfin changed the way you work?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Shifting to Redfin has been a whirlwind, but it\u2019s been so good for my business. In my first three months at Redfin, I closed 6 deals. I\u2019m consistently doing 2 or more deals a month, and as I get to know the system and get it to work for me, I\u2019m confident I\u2019ll average at least 4 deals a month.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tell me more about that. What is it about Redfin\u2019s model that has helped you increase your productivity?<\/b><\/p>\n

Redfin\u2019s system is constantly keeping my clients engaged by sending timely market updates, property updates, or new listings\u2013even when I\u2019m asleep or busy with other business. Those touchpoints are so important, because they remind my clients that I\u2019m there for them when they\u2019re ready. And when they are ready to make moves, the process is much more seamless. Right now I\u2019m working with a young couple who wants to see new properties all the time, but sometimes I\u2019m busy and can\u2019t be in two places at once. The fact that I have showing agents to take them out on tours means they\u2019re not waiting for me to be available, and that\u2019s huge. My clients can literally go on the app, press the red button and instantly schedule a tour for two hours from now, rather than waiting for me to pick up the phone, call the other agent, and make sure my schedule is open. That is so invaluable.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have access to so many tools at Redfin that you just don\u2019t get as an independent agent. Even if you had a huge budget, you still can\u2019t hire all of the support\u2014the showing agents, transaction coordinators, photographers\u2014or buy the technology that you get for free here. I know people who spend a ton of money on fancy CRMs, but they\u2019re just not as robust as Redfin\u2019s. When it comes down to it, they still have to go in there and push the button to send the email. I don\u2019t have to do that because Redfin\u2019s doing it for me.<\/span><\/p>\n

How has being at Redfin changed your outlook on your real estate career?<\/b><\/p>\n

There was a point in my career as an independent agent where I was seeing the real estate market as doom and gloom. I really didn\u2019t know if I could do this for even another 10 years because the hustle was so difficult. I spent so much energy chasing people to list with me or convincing them they needed to buy. Now that I\u2019m at Redfin, I no longer feel like I\u2019m worrying about where my next deal is coming from. I\u2019m just focused on relating to the person in front of me, showing them that I\u2019m an expert, and helping them accomplish their goals. It\u2019s so refreshing.<\/span><\/p>\n

How is the culture at Redfin different from other brokerages?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

At traditional brokerages, agents feel like they\u2019re competing against each other. There\u2019s this feeling that everything\u2019s mine\u2014don\u2019t you dare look at my customer list or my strategy. But when you\u2019re at Redfin, everybody shares. Other agents are happy to answer your questions or share their own strategy, because they know there\u2019s enough bread for everybody to eat. That\u2019s a beautiful thing about Redfin.<\/span><\/p>\n

What advice would you give to an agent who was thinking about joining Redfin?<\/b><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re tired of chasing your next deal, but you’re not afraid to work hard and all you want is to help people and sell real estate, Redfin is the place to be. You can actually do your job without worrying about cold calling, door knocking, or pursuing your family and friends. The infrastructure is here, all you have to do is convert.<\/span><\/p>\n
