Redfin Brings Progressive Real Estate Brokerage, Industry-Leading Website and Mobile App to Kansas CityRedfin (www.redfin.com), the next-generation real estate brokerage, today announced the debut of its home-buying and selling services in Kansas City. In addition to working with local, Redfin-employed real estate agents, people can now search Redfin.com and the Redfin iOS and Android (News - Alert) apps for all the agent-listed homes for sale in the greater Kansas City metro area, in both Kansas and Missouri. "Redfin real estate agents serve as trusted advisors to their customers, helping them make the right home-buying decision in what is often a complex process," said Dario Medina, Great Lakes District Manager at Redfin. "We're excited to bring our service to Kansas City, a growing real estate market in the middle of the heartland, where residents value good, solid expertise and advocacy." To grow the brokerage locally, Redfin hired real estate agent Wayne Gray. Wayne has been a real estate agent in Kansas City since 1998 and has managed his own brokerage since 2010. Wayne was attracted to Redfin by the company's dedication to customer advocacy and transparency. A native Kansas Citian who believes in the importance of community, Wayne has previously served on the Board of Trustees for Kansas City Kansas Community College and as a City Council member in his current hometown of Bonner Springs, KS. "I love the person-to-person connections you make as a real estate agent," said Wayne. "The Redfin process of putting the customer first enables me to get to know my clients and provide them with the best possible service." Redfin was founded in Seattle in 2006 with the mission to reinvent real estate to benefit consumers, and has steadily expanded to 82 major U.S. cities. The Redfin model is different from traditional brokerages in how it combines advanced technology with full-service agents who are paid a salary, receive benefits and earn bonuses based on customer satisfaction. All reviews for Redfin agents are published on their online profiles. Because most of Redfin's customers discover the company through its website, Redfin agents spend all their time working with existing clients and zero time looking for new business. As a result, Redfin operates very efficiently, and can pass along savings to its clients. Redfin agents charge a 1.5 percent listing fee for sellers, rather than the typical 3 percent, while providing a complete home-selling service including pricing and staging advice, free professional photography and marketing. Someone selling a $300,000 home with a Redfin agent would save $4,500. With the arrival of Redfin comes a host of technology features that benefit both website users and brokerage clients:
