Redfin is an online real estate company that provides real estate search and brokerage services. Redfin uses an interesting combination of online real estate search and access to live agents. They employ their agents so they can better control customer satisfaction unlike traditional brokerage firms that license their name to independent agents. Redfin claims to save homebuyers on average $10,000 by reimbursing roughly 2/3 of the buy-side real estate fee directly on closing. Redfin also pays bonuses to agents when they receive high customer satisfaction.«Less
