Redfin (www.redfin.com)
is a next-generation real estate brokerage that represents people buying
and selling
homes. Founded by technologists, Redfin employs a team of
experienced, full-service real
estate agents who are advocates, not salespeople, earning
customer-satisfaction bonuses, not just commissions. Redfin.com features
all the broker-listed homes for sale, as well as for-sale-by-owner
properties that don't pay brokers a commission. Redfin also offers online
tools, built by its own software engineers, that make the entire
process of buying or selling a home easier and more fun. The company
serves major markets across the U.S. and has closed nearly $20 billion
in home sales. In 2012, Redfin was named one of The DIGITAL 100: World's
Most Valuable Private Tech Companies by Business Insider.
Because most of Redfin's customers discover the company through its
website, Redfin agents spend all their time working with existing
clients and zero time looking for new business. As a result, Redfin
operates very efficiently, and can pass along savings to its clients. To
date, Redfin has saved its customers more than $200 million in real
estate fees. For buyers, Redfin refunds part of the buyer's agent
3. commission. For example, someone buying a $300,000 home with a Redfin
agent in Buffalo would receive a refund of over $1,500 at closing. For
sellers, Redfin agents charge a 1.5 percent listing fee rather than the
typical 3 percent while providing the complete home-selling service,
including pricing and staging advice as well as free professional
photography and marketing. Someone selling a $300,000 home with a Redfin
agent would save $4,500.
"I have lived in Buffalo my whole adult life. I raised my family here, I
built my career here, and I'm excited to help support the local revival
by bringing a next-generation company to my hometown," said Lesley
Lannan, who joined Redfin to spearhead the brokerage in Buffalo.
"Being a real estate agent has let me play a meaningful role in my
community, and launching Redfin in Buffalo means there's a new, easy way
for locals to buy and sell their homes."
