[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd recommend Redfin to sell your house.  We did and it worked out fine.  I did contact a local "well known" neighborhood agent and offered to list my house with her at a reduced commission, but she declined.  It sold in a week - her loss.[/quote]

Please tell me about your experience selling with Redfin. I live in a popular neighborhood with "low inventory" and a desirable house, so I'm sure my house will sell quickly. But Redfin is usually used for buying houses, not selling. I've never seen a Redfin for sale sign in my neighborhood.

One thing that worries me: I've gotten a real sense of hostility toward Redfin from real estate agents in my area. I worry that if I list with Redfin, the local real estate agents won't show my house! Was that your experience??

We're buying with Redfin, and we saved thousands! So worth it! But, Redfin doesn't have a lot of listings, so doesn't have those "inside the office" listings that are so desirable they sell before listing. I found out about the house we are buying by driving through the neighborhood. I happened to notice a man putting up a For Sale sign, called, saw the house, and made an offer. If I'd waited for the house to appear on the Redfin website, five other people would have seen it and made offers ahead of me.

Anyway, please tell me about your Redfin selling experience, PP. We're actually thinking of going with a local broker who has a lot of clients, and will probably sell our house before listing.

TIA![/quote]
