[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think any upscale brokerage is going to post their marketing plan on this site? Get real![/quote]

[b]+1 Another agent on this thread. I'm not really interested in revealing my marketing and service structure to woo people who think Redfin is the best. It's like that old line in When Harry Met [/b]Sally - the people who think they are low maintenance are really high maintenance or whatever? It's the people who think they can buy and sell real estate with ease who actually end up needing more help than the average buyer/seller.  Lots of wacky things happen in transactions. I've been on the other side of deals with Redfin agents and the things some of them do or don't do to protect their clients are scary. I had one outright lie and I think that several months later that is going to come back to haunt that agent, and also had one who really dropped the ball in protecting their client and my client could have walked away and still been within their right to get their deposit back even on the day of settlement. The average client may not know that these things are happening behind the scenes until it comes back to bite them. In these cases, I am guessing it was the assistant who was dropping the ball. But their model only works if the team is effective.

Oh. Then there was the agent who didn't show up at settlement and the client didn't know that in Virginia funds are not handed over at the table, the deal has to be recorded. Redfin agent forgot to explain that. Yikes. It got ugly. The settlement attorney was like, "I'm sorry your agent didn't inform you of that..." So he saved a few thousand on commission but then he had to stay in town an extra day and rearrange his schedule so he could pick up the check in person for whatever reason. LOL. [/quote]

I bet you aren't. So the seller stayed an extra day in town. And the lawyer caught the mistake. Was it worth $30K?[/quote]
