I guess you could say they are not moving away from discount model, but discounts/rebates are going to be less over time as deep discount model proved not to work.
What is the advantage of this company anyway? I have been able to get large brokerage company to list for 2% instead of the avg 2.5% in my area.
I couldn’t get any rebate from the brokerage on purchase such as the 50% that Redfin offers, but I’m pretty sure the redfin agent couldn’t make my deal happen at the price I want because I have seen how the relationships between the local agents work. I can get a lot more insight on property and sellers situation when its a listing agent that mine knows well.
