<p>I was wondering if anyone has any experience using redfin as your buyer agent?</p>

<p>I have to admit I like the sound of the commission rebate and it also seems like it would be easier to make low low offers on homes using them vs. using a traditional agent that will always try and sway you to make an offer to get the deal done.</p>

<p>My only worry is having to be shown the home by the sellers agent.</p>

<p>Let me just say before I get the usual "Why are you even thinking of buying right now" messages, that I am just starting to be a little more serious about buying, but I still plan on holding out at least 9mo-1yr more before I start trying to make offers.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>
 
I haven't used their services but I know a friend who did and she was completely happy. In fact her comment is in the home buyers comments section
 
<p>I've used BuySide (75% back) and have been very happy with them. I submitted 5 offers through them (none accepted - including short sales). They were doing business in CA before Redfin came along. I think they are both fairly equivalent. Most of the work to see properties will end up on your shoulders. </p>

<p>Sometimes listing agents aren't too eager to show properties. I try to find open houses or contact the owner if the realtard is being dumb.</p>
 
I was just reading their reviews on Yelp. Seems everyone is happy except....Realtors.

Not sure why they even care since the sellers 3% is not touched.
