What do Lead Agents do?

Redfin’s lead agents collaborate with proprietary technology to deliver services and make recommendations to customers in a timely and cost-effective manner. It has access to Multiple Listing Services (MLS), so it has more up-to-date data than online platforms that rely solely on manual home listings. Redfin connects buyers and sellers with local agents who provide listing recommendations based on the buyer’s and seller’s needs and the local market. For properties in the surrounding area, the agents prepare a comparative market analysis (CMA). Buyers can meet with the agents to take a tour of the properties that meet their needs.
