Redfin - Greatest Realtor experience
09/22/2024

I sold my home with Redfin a year ago and had an exceptional experience. Redfin is a tremendous value, as one of the most popular real estate apps and websites, selling your home here allows you to reach by far the most buyers, and have advanced and transparent data at your fingertips on how the showings and buyers perceive your home. At the same time, Redfin chooses to offer a tremendous value in only charging a 1.5% seller commission. Truly for their ability to reach hundreds of thousands of buyers every day they could probably charge higher, but their whole approach has a company is volume and cost benefit to the consumer. It’s amazing to me that everyone isn’t using Redfin, and only tells you how corrupt the legacy real estate community is in continuing to charge double the fees while not even using the latest technology. This monopoly was recently overturned by the NAR lawsuit and I’m hopeful that more sellers and buyers will see the obvious benefits of Redfin. Real estate is in desperate need of disruption and the cost to sell and buy homes are far too high. Go with Redfin and you can take one step towards, advancing the real estate industry to a smarter and more technology enabled community.

Pricing sort is driving me nuts!

I used to love this app but am ready to drop it just because of the pricing sort. I get it has some glitches but I can live with those. THIS glitch, I simply can’t because it affects the entire experience of looking for a home. Each time the search refreshes itself, I have to remind the app to apply the sort order I’ve already selected (Low to high pricing) because the sort is now in some Redfin preferred order. Of note - when you go to change the setting, it still says it’s in low to high pricing sort order (untrue) since the houses are not listed that way. To fix it, I have switch the order to high to low or any other sort, go back to the app to “awaken” sort , then go back again to sort settings and switch to low to high and then back again to the app for the sort to actually reset itself to my preferred sort. Using the map - Imagine you move your search 5 miles east - you have to repeat the above process again because the home results are no longer listed in low to high pricing. In one 15 min use of the app, I have to repeat this insane reawaken and reset sort order several times! It tells me the designers don’t actually use their app. Incredibly annoying especially since it used to work properly a while back!! FIX IT please!!

Redfin is a good app. Simple, transparent, and with good filters to narrow down real estate search. It falls short of a 5-star app because of two strange behaviors:1. It doesn’t let you view all the homes for sale in a city based on Great Schools rankings. You have to zoom into a very small area for school-based filtering to apply. Until then, the filter simply doesn’t work. The way I like to do property searches is to look at an entire city (or custom area), filter on Great Schools ranking 8+, and then play around with the resulting options. The app doesn’t let you operate that way.2. In select cities such as New York City, it requires that you re-enter your password to view the complete listing. Even after re-entering, the app takes you back to the restricted version of the listing as if you still haven’t entered the password. You need to kill the app and re-open it immediately to see the unrestricted listing. It’s a pretty annoying bug that affects me almost every session.

Most used feature turned unusable

The whole reason Redfin was my Primary Housing Search Tool was the Easy Access and Unlimited Use (looking at you Zillow) of a “I am not interested in seeing this house ever again” X button. I would have liked to be able to use it outside of actually Opening the listing- or, in fact, be able to use it en masse, because one cannot filter by house style. And now it is gone in favor of an eyeball that - at a glance or even to those who might have a hint of myopia - Is unreadable. Is it on or off? I have no clue. I wouldn’t mind having a different indicator in place of X (though I question Why? When it’s a simple graphic that is easy, and everyone knows what it means, across the world?) I wouldn’t have even minded the different location for the button. But now it’s been rendered useless. It feels like something that must have gone through approval processes to get to being published on the app, which is what astonishes me. Change the colour, like the favorites icon. Make the “on” position more bold. Something, so that it’s a recognizable difference! You even have the \ on it in both “on” and “off” - and I get it, you’re trying to state what it does. But it’s superfluous. We figure it out when we press the button.
