Glenn Kelman needs to understand the true reason why Redfin agents allegedly negotiate more off the sale price, while, again allegedly, non-Redfin agents “negotiate” more.

Redfin buyer’s agents and their poorly written, faxed-in offers are the first thrown out by sellers in a multiple offer situation. And for the first two years Redfin has been in business, “multiple offers” has been the name of the game.

As is typical for a multiple offer situation, the purchase price is likely to escalate some degree above asking price. The test of a GOOD buyer’s agent, in situations where there are 2 or more A-game offers competing, is if they get their offer chosen.

Think about it. What kind of a real estate agent would sign up to receive Redfin leads, and give up a significant portion of their commission for tireless work? Agents who aren’t getting repeat business from clients. Agents who aren’t receiving referrals from satisfied buyers and sellers. In essence, essence shoddy agents desperate to get business any way they can get it.

I-agent.com has been established longer in the Washington DC Metro area. Redfin is surely not the only company with a different real estate model.

I’m a realtor with a nationally recognized real estate company. I received an offer via email from a Redfin agent. The MLS instructions stated to call the me (the listing agent) before writing an offer. The listing has city restrictions that the buyer must qualify. I was not contacted prior to the offer being written. After I told the Redfin agent about the restrictions, he took very little time to learn further about it. In addition, I always like to know some background about the buyer (i.e. why buying, where living now, flexibility on escrow period, buyer’s lender’s background, etc). The Redfin agent knew nothing. On top of that, the Redfin agent lives near San Diego, and my listing is located near Los Angeles! Lastly, the Redfin agent never showed the property of course, I did! The buyer did state he had an agent that was out of the area, and I showed it to the buyer anyway as my duty to my seller. By the way, the number one way to get sued is selling an out of area property. Enough said?
