Bust out the sweet tea and tune up the band; Redfin is bringing its customer-first real estate brokerage to Tennessee! People who want to buy and sell homes in Nashville and Memphis can now work with local Redfin agents and can use the Redfin online and mobile tools to search for every home on the market.
Redfin has a unique approach that combines technology and top-notch customer service to create a real estate experience that’s better for consumers. Redfin technology empowers both our agents and our customers with information and tools that make the home-buying and selling process more efficient, less stressful and more fun.
Redfin real estate agents spend zero time looking for new business. This means they can focus all their time on delivering great service while helping people find the right home or sell their home quickly and for the best price. Redfin charges sellers 1.5 percent instead of the typical 3 percent, while providing a beginning-to-end home-selling service, from pricing and staging advice and professional photography through the negotiation and closing processes. On average, someone selling a home with a Redfin agent saves about $6,800 in fees.
Like other Redfin real estate agents, our agents in Nashville and Memphis earn a salary and receive health care and other benefits. Redfin surveys every customer, and posts every review — the good, the bad and the ugly — on Redfin.com. A Redfin agent’s bonus pay is based on these reviews, and makes us accountable for not just any sale, but the one that’s right for each customer.
To deliver this great service, we needed a great leader. Here’s who we hired:
-
Mel Priess, Market Manager, Tennessee — Mel has been in real estate for almost 30 years, having worked as a broker with Coldwell Banker, Remax and most recently Weichert. He spent part of his career working as a real estate agent in Chicago when Redfin was just launching there. He was inspired by the impact Redfin’s arrival made on the local real estate market by offering customers a new option for buying and selling homes. He’s excited to welcome Redfin to the community in Nashville and Memphis.
Now that we’ve arrived in Tennessee, people can now buy and sell homes with a Redfin agent in more than 50 markets across the United States.
