It doesn’t embody information from offers through which Redfin brokers represented patrons for the reason that firm gives decrease charges for purchaser companies, which can be as little as 1.75 % in sure markets.

“Redfin agents say the biggest difference since August 17 is the need to educate customers about rule changes and have conversations about agent fees with buyers at the start,” Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather stated in an announcement. “Our agents see that as a positive, as it encourages more communication upfront and increases transparency around fees.”
