Well, it's a third-tier brokerage. You may save on commission but you may pay in other ways, like a mis-priced home. Now, if you find a Redfin agent who knows GP well, that's one thing. But if you bring in an outsider to a particular market, you run the risk of being outclassed in many ways.

You are an agent or have some other agenda.

Actually, I'm not. I've just bought and sold two houses. Curious why Redfin fans are so insecure that anytime anyone points out the obvious in a way that is less than flattering to Redfin that suddenly that person is an "agent" or has some "agenda."

See, the thing is ... you didn't actually point anything out or make any valid claims against Redfin. You just levied unsupported insults and asserted that Redfin would be "outclassed" in many ways, yet offered none. Give one legitimate reason and maybe some of us will believe you. But right now, you sound like an agent who's scared that your business model is crumbling ... and the data-less assertions sure fit the agent MO.

The funniest part of this whole post is that you miss the point that OP is actually seeking answering agent that knows GP, so apparently OP knows everything that you do.

You can also go on their site and look at the agents that specialize in the particular areas. You can then look at the stats for the individual agent (houses they've sold in different areas, customer reviews, etc.).

This was me. I believe when you call, they will assign you an agent with the most experience in your area. I'm not in your area, but that was my experience. Just interview the person that they send you.

This is an interesting discussion, but not relevant to the topic of the thread. If you can help answer the OP's question, great. Otherwise, please move along.

How's that selling working out for you? How long have you been on the market? Where?

Nope. ANY real estate agent can price correctly. It's not rocket science after all. Stop hating on Redfin!

OP I used Redfin and was 100% happy. They helped suggest staging tips, professionally photographed my place and the big one- drew a floor plan! I wish more agents did floor plans because we're house shopping now and I don't see any floor plans. I waste my time looking at houses that I could have seen the floor plans and known they didn't work.

Very strange request. I'd choose whatever agent is most knowledgeable/connected in GP rather than look for an agent affiliated with a specific brokerage.

I am planning to sell my Glover Park house and want to begin interviewing agents. Does anyone have a recommendation for a Redfin agent who is familiar with GP? Thanks.
