[quote=Anonymous]We met with a Redfin agent when we sold our DC house in October and were unimpressed.  She was assigned to cover a big chunk of the city and didn't have a good sense of the localized market in our neighborhood.  She suggested an "aspirational" list price based on her review of the comps that was 90k lower than our ultimate sales price.  She also didn't have a good grasp for just how fast we expected our house to sell and we didn't trust that she'd be responsive enough during the critical first days on the market.

We ended up going with a full service neighborhood agent who cut us a big break in commission because he knew the house would go quickly.  He also paid staging, managed last minute repairs and cleaning, and even helped with several projects himself.

We ended up with 5 above list offers in a bidding war and sold for 50k above list in 4 days to a no-contigency offer.  He did a great job balancing all of the prospective buyers, preinspections, and negotiations to get everyone up as high as possible.

We had always planned to sell with a discount agent, buy were very glad that we didn't in the end.  He was only marginally more expensive and we feel very confident in our ultimate sales price.  I'd interview several agents and see where you end up.  [/quote]
