Redfin Direct - No agent representation needed for buyers

[Edward Seid]

Redfin just released their future business model today, albeit only in BOSTON right now. It's called Redfin Direct and you can elect to have no agent representation when buying a Redfin-listed property.

Sellers who chose these non represented buyers pay a 1% buyers fee on top of their 1% sellers fee for a grand total of 2% for the transaction! As an agent, I can see my commissions eventually taking a hit.

Redfin is a true market disruptor. Can I get a holla from everyone in Seattle?!
