We’re selling our deceased Dads 1957 home, and finally got a good offer. The buyer is using a Redfin agent. The home inspection was completed about 10 days ago, and the buyers have ordered follow up inspections with contractors. All good.
My sister still lives in the same city fortunately. She stopped by a few days ago and found the buyer wife and her 4 kids there with a pool inspector, the agent wasn’t there and did not lock up. My sister, a former realtor, was fuming but understandably doesn’t want to kill the deal by complaining too strongly. Our sellers agent (a traditional service agent) talked to the Redfin agent.
Yesterday my sister goes by the house again, and finds the buyer wife there with an electrician, again no agent. Turns out there have been 4 follow up inspections, and none have been scheduled through CSS as is expected.
All inspections are complete now, so there shouldn’t be any more “home invasions.”
I am sure there are good, competent Redfin agents, but we sure haven’t had a good experience. I read an email from the Redfin agent for the first time today, spelling and grammar like a 4th grader.
Totally unprofessional Redfin agent all in all.
As is usually true, you get what you pay for...
We just bought a house, and sold another, so how the process goes is fresh in my mind. As a buyer, I wouldn’t dare go into a sellers home any time between initial showing and closing without the seller or sellers agent or without their direct authorization. We’ve dealt with more than a half dozen full service realtors in three states the past few months, and many others in previous moves, all professionals - unlike this RedFin agent. And my sister was a realtor for 10 years, knows how things are supposed to happen.
