For all you Redfin.com users

Have any of you attended one of their free homebuying classes? I just got a notification about a few coming up in my area and I'm just wondering if there's a catch...

Thanks!

Re: For all you Redfin.com users

  • There is one in my area next week and I was wondering the same thing LOL! I don't know anyone that has gone. I assume they hope to sign you up with a redfin realtor. I am wondering how pushy they are?
  • Haha, I signed up for one for next Thurs as well. I did find this article online so it doesn't seem like it could be that bad?

  • I found my Realtor on there but I did not go to any classes.
  • My husband went and found it to be interesting. We actually asked the realtor who was instructing the seminar to be our Realtor. She was awesome! One of the things that she commented on during the seminar was that the value of a heartfelt letter to the sellers when you put in an offer, can go a long way. It was exactly how we got our new house. I wrote a letter to the seller explaining that we were a young family with two little boys, and we wanted to find a place to fill with memories... then I went for the  kill and added pictures of the boys :)

    We also were introduced to our Mortgage Broker at the seminar who still maintains contact with us even though we closed on the house at the end of May. For us, that one seminar made all the difference.
