Houzeo
Houzeo is a nationwide home selling service designed for “For Sale By Owner” (FSBO) sellers that aims to save them between 6%-15% in real estate commissions. Their website claims it can save homeowners anywhere between 6-15% in commission costs. They offer various listing packages which offer access to Multiple Listing Service databases and agent support; additionally their licensed real estate agents offer flat fee services which save sellers considerable sums of money when compared with traditional real estate agents.
Houzeo customers report superior service from its staff, with issues being quickly resolved. Many also praise its user-friendly platform. In particular, customers with Gold and Platinum packages report being impressed by Houzeo’s virtual broker who handles showing requests, field offers from buyers/agents/brokers etc and negotiate offers with buyer attorneys/attorneys – this service being made available as standard!
Houzeo’s prices may seem higher than other flat fee MLS companies and low-commission brokerages due to the company’s focus on upfront listing fees and additional services for sellers, and have generated some customer complaints regarding its pricing structure. Before selecting one of Houzeo’s packages, it is wise to carefully consider all its offerings first.
Houzeo does not provide a refund policy and some users have reported they are paying extra services they could find for less elsewhere, including listing changes, virtual broker support and additional photos. When considering Houzeo as an option for your needs it is important to compare its costs against similar flat fee MLS companies or low commission brokers that do offer refund policies or have accreditation from organizations like Better Business Bureau (BBB). Houzeo lacks this accreditation; typically pursued by legitimate businesses to demonstrate ethical business practices and customer service commitment.
Redfin
Redfin is one of the largest online real estate brokerages in the U.S. They provide home buyers and sellers with a number of services, including an intuitive map-based search tool, free listing promotions, reduced agent commission rates, mortgages, title insurance policies and home inspections – but Redfin may not be suitable for every home seller or buyer.
Redfin offers home sellers a 1% listing fee, far below the traditional 2.5% commission charged by brokerage firms. Furthermore, its agents are salaried rather than working on commission, and work in teams. Every new sale they close earns them a bonus payment and home buyers who buy and sell through Redfin can save even more by signing a “Sign & Save” agreement.
Redfin’s services have garnered many customer raves, yet some customers reported their agent as unprofessional or inattentive. Furthermore, customers frequently voiced frustrations regarding its slow listing process and lack of personalized services; however, Redfin asserts that agents are compensated accordingly and client satisfaction decisions influence compensation levels for them.
Redfin stands out from other real estate companies by having an organized process for recruiting its agents, with minimum qualifications that include possessing a real estate license and having successfully completed either 10 transactions over the past year or 20 lifetime transactions. As a result, this brokerage has an unusually high percentage of top agents compared to others; it is still important, however, to research each agent thoroughly prior to hiring them; compare fees against similar brokerages in your area and consider choosing someone with high customer satisfaction rates and proven performance in your market if possible.
