Buying with a Redfin Agent
Does anyone have any experience buying with a Redfin agent? I am just having a hard time using a traditional agent when they take 3% to not do a whole lot besides set us up on the MLS. However, I am not sure how reliable using a Redfin agent to buy is and if there are additional concerns I should have in terms of closing or anything else. I completely understand the value of good realtors, but in our situation, we can likely find what we are looking for on our own, and then the inspection, attorney, lender, and title company will do most of the rest. So honestly it feels like all we need a realtor for is to write an offer letter.
