Redfin points out that it charges commissions as low as 1% to home sellers and as low as 2% to homebuyers, and claims to have saved its customers $1.6 billion in fees.
“Unlike Landian, we don’t charge for tours or require customers to hire an agent sight unseen,” a spokesperson said.
Redfin went on to say that it “may experiment again” with a flat-fee itemized service. But it’s wary.
