I'd like to submit complain about Redfin's bad customer service. I didn't have good experience selling and buying a house from Redfin and provided a bad review about my agent. They reached out to me but busy explaining how great job they did and I was wrong. I didn't feel I was heard, and in fact, I didn't even get to talk to the broker. They work as a team and I didn't get enough attention. The agent's attitude wasn't pleasant. I thought it might be her personality. But there was no brochure for the open house to sell. The agent showed me only two houses and other lower level agents showed me houses. As a first time buyer, I asked for special attention for buying a house. I didn't get the attention. The agent sent another person during walk- through in the process of buying a house. The guy just opened the house and was on the phone the whole time. There were bottles of honey left from the seller's agent. All the hoeny bottles were gone when I moved in 3 days afterwards. I bought the house without contingencies so needed expert's opionion and advice. When I gave her a bad review, anther broker from the same office called me and said they won't work with me and block my phone number. Also, I don't know what was the reason, but the agent kept pushing me to use her lender, which caused me lots of stress when I was already under lots of stress. They made great money out of me, selling a big house and buying a house as well. Real estate company is supposed to provide a customer service.

Description of Work: As a buyer realtor, they never looked out for our interests. Their agents are interested in closing the deals. Their Real estate agents are not well trained in contract law. When the seller agent scribbled some hand written notes on the offer, we were never told or warned on the implication. They took the seller sides against their own client, at the end we have to hire our own real estate lawyer to fight for what is rightfully ours. Do not use this firm! Substandard practice. Don't be seduce by the money back because you end up with purchasing a house with bad advice and little help. It is not worth the savings. We end up buying a bad house with leaky roofs, broken toilets, broken furnace and a whole host of repairs, kitchen door panels falling off shortly after we moved in. The seller hide the defects of the house with paint and drywall mud and glue and Redfin agents were not keen when we saw it or advised us that there were others better houses and we should waited. Their agents just want to closed the deal and they get the substantial fees. Beware !!!

Redfin is a great company. I'm very happy with both transactions. I used them to purchase a home and sell another. They saved me a ton of $$ on both transactions. This is a company for the knowledgable buyer and seller. With the age if the Internet, I knew what I wanted to buy and where. The company's website is IMO the best search real estate tool out there. Before I found my house, I saved my search in and immediately when something came on market I was notified. The scheduling to view was quick and negotiations very professional with my agent. I doubted him at first but he really came through when the seller was playing hard ball. I could tell he was an experienced realtor from that exchange. On the sell side i used another agent who specialized in sales. Again he gave me sound advice to stage the place. He sent some professional photo company that really worked their magic to bring out the best in the photos. I was in shock how quickly we ot a contract considering the othe houses on the market in te area. I think Redfin did a great job helping me market the place and setting my place as the top value deal in the area. I was very happy and definitely will be a return customer. Don't expect the agents to baby the customers as they are really better suited for the experienced buyers/sellers.

My experience (looked at over 100 houses, and put in several offers) the multiple agents I've dealt with seem very unmotivated to assist you in finding a home. They offer very little insight and/or advice and seem generally disinterested in helping in anything other than crossing the t's and dotting the i's on your paperwork. As with most things it seems this company is an example of getting what you pay for, and that works out to be half of what a "real" real estate agent can and will do. Overall terrible experience and waste of valuable time, don't be fooled by the $ back at closing, you'll pretty much be doing all of the work yourself.
Description of Work: For those who don't want to read through the endless propaganda on the website, Redfin is basically a real estate company built on the premise of hiring agents on a salary basis (with bonuses based on user reviews) and giving the customer half of the agents normal cut (3%) at closing.

They do everything from house tours to closing. It has been an amazing resource. They give candid opinions of the house. I feel that they are honest with me about houses.
Description of Work: They are initially free to sign up for online. It is an online real estate brokerage. Through redfin you can also use a traditional realtor. I am using them to look for purchasing a home.

Description of Work: I just bought my first house with Brian Walters of Redfin's DC area office and it could not have been a more pleasant experience. Brian was extremely responsive and we were able to get a great deal on a house. The best part about Redfin is that they refund 1/2 of their commission. If you are buying a house in Washington, D.C., I highly recommend working with Brian.
