Redfin Homes for Sale & Rent 4+

Exceptional Experience with Redfin App

I have been using the Redfin app for quite some time now, and I am thoroughly impressed with its user-friendly interface, comprehensive features, and overall reliability. The app has made my home searching journey an absolute pleasure, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

Navigating the app is incredibly easy, with intuitive controls and a clean design that allows me to quickly find the information I need. The property listings are detailed, providing relevant information such as property history, nearby amenities, and neighborhood insights. Additionally, the high-quality photos and virtual tours make it feel like I am physically visiting the properties, which is especially helpful during these times of social distancing.

One of the standout features of the Redfin app is the real-time updates on new listings and price changes. This has been invaluable in helping me stay ahead of the competition in a fast-paced market. Moreover, the app also allows me to save my favorite properties and set up customized alerts for specific search criteria, making it a breeze to track my top choices.

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!!

Overall a helpful tool

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.
