  • Seven Tactics for Real Estate Bargaining a Data-Driven Approach to Negotiations for Home-Buyers
    Seven Tactics for Real Estate Bargaining A Data-Driven Approach to Negotiations for Home-Buyers July 2008 Introduction As the real estate market has swung in buyer's favor, more homebuyers are shopping for deals. Many are looking for under-priced homes. Their focus is on the property: its location, square footage and asking price. But the best deals may lie in over-priced homes, where the seller is more willing to negotiate. To identify these opportunities, one has to focus on the seller: how long he has been waiting for a buyer, what he has already invested in selling the property and how much he stands to gain from its sale. To evaluate sellers' willingness to bargain, Redfin analyzed the sales of 9,053 single- family houses in Los Angeles (California), Fairfax (Virginia) and King (Washington) counties between April 15, 2008 and June 15, 2008. While most homes sold within 3% of the asking price, a significant number sold for much less, more than 10% below the asking price. We thus divided the transactions into two groups, those that sold for a large discount (The Discount Group, comprised of sales where the discount off the final asking price was in the top ten percentile for that market) and those that didn't (The Rest). Then we compared the two. The difference in concessions was significant: the average discount for The Discount Group was 11.4% off the final asking price, whereas the average discount for The Rest was 1.5%. For a home listed at $500,000, The Discount Group would have saved $57,000 off the asking price, compared to The Rest's $7,500.

  • Exclusive Redfin and RE/MAX Partnership Ends
    Exclusive Redfin and RE/MAX Partnership Ends May 13, 2019 SEATTLE, May 13, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- (NASDAQ: RDFN) — A statement from Redfin www.redfin.com( ), a technology-powered real estate brokerage: RE/MAX withdrew today from its corporate partnership with Redfin. Redfin has the utmost respect for RE/MAX as a company, for its agents and leaders. RE/MAX agents who already work as Redfin's partner agents will continue to be our partners, and RE/MAX agents can continue to enroll in our partner program, but Redfin can now enroll partner agents from other brokerages to serve Redfin.com visitors in the U.S. and Canada. At issue between RE/MAX and Redfin has been Redfin Direct, the new service we're piloting in Boston for Redfin's listing customers to get offers from unrepresented buyers. We had briefed RE/MAX on the technology prior to announcing the partnership, but RE/MAX became concerned that Redfin Direct would undermine the standing of North American buyers' agents. Redfin understands this concern, as we employ thousands of licensed professionals and believe the vast majority of homebuyers need professional advice, and will happily pay for it. But we also have a duty to get as many offers for our customers' listings as we possibly can, and to give those listing customers the best value. We believe in consumer choices; our mission is to redefine real estate in consumers' favor. Redfin Direct does this. The reaction to Redfin Direct from our customers, and from consumers at large, has been overwhelmingly enthusiastic. We strive to be good partners, as individual agents negotiating a sale with another party, and as a company.

  • Northwest Multiple Listing Service Makes Rule Changes to Increase Transparency and Flexibility for Consumers and Brokers
    Media Contact: Natalie Quick p: (206) 779-0489 or e: [email protected] Northwest Multiple Listing Service Makes Rule Changes to Increase Transparency and Flexibility for Consumers and Brokers NWMLS Modernizes its Rules Related to the Compensation Paid by the Seller to the Broker who Procures the Buyer. Kirkland, Wash. – July 22, 2019 – The Northwest Multiple Listing Service (“NWMLS”) today announced it is making changes to its rules in a move to increase transparency and flexibility for consumers and its more than 30,000 real estate brokers. The rules revisions allow real estate firms to publish the amount of commission the seller is offering to pay a broker representing the buyer (known as the “selling office commission” or “SOC”) on the firms’ public websites along with the other listing information (e.g. list price, square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, and other detailed property information). Making this information readily available to consumers will allow for complete transparency with regard to buyers’ broker’s compensation and provide consumers with additional information at the outset of the transaction. The changes also remove the requirement that a seller offer a SOC when listing a property for sale and, if there is no SOC offered, allow the buyer and buyer’s broker the opportunity to negotiate the compensation of the buyer’s broker as a part of the offer to purchase. This revision allows greater flexibility for sellers when listing a property, while affording buyers and buyer’s brokers a vehicle for negotiating the compensation for the buyer’s broker’s services (if no SOC is offered).

  • Redfin's Public Comment FTC/DOJ Workshop on Competition in the Real Estate Brokerage Industry Thank You for the Opportunity To
    Redfin’s Public Comment FTC/DOJ Workshop on Competition in the Real Estate Brokerage Industry Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the FTC and DOJ’s Workshop. Redfin is a technology powered real estate brokerage committed to saving consumers money. Redfin wholeheartedly supports the goals of encouraging competition and lowering the fees consumers pay to buy and sell homes. Redfin operates in 86 markets and 40 states. Over the past five years, we’ve aggressively lowered the fees we charge our home-selling clients. We’ve lowered our listing fee to 1% in 35 of our markets. The Workshop highlighted fierce competition in the real estate industry. This competition is driven, in large part, by the Multiple Listing Services’ data aggregation. We discussed this idea in our blogpost: A Tragedy of the Commons. To make sure this competitive environment continues to thrive, it’s important that Multiple Listing Services remain the definitive source of listings data. This will require giving agents credit for their listings. Competition is Fierce Redfin isn’t the only real estate brokerage lowering fees and competing on services. The list of entrants with disruptive business models is long: Trelora, Reali, Fly Homes, Faira, Purplebricks, Homie, Knock, Ribbon, Open Door, Compass, OfferPad, etc. In 2012, venture capitalists invested $30 million in real estate technology; according to Pitchbook in 2017, that number was $1.2 billion. The explosion of innovation is all about lowering costs for the consumer. And the massive increase in funds indicates a broad consensus that the industry is changing. Many of the new entrants to the industry are brokerages competing with Redfin on price, and using Redfin’s success as a basis for their fundraising.
