Redfin Brings Its Real Estate Brokerage to Colorado SpringsRedfin (www.redfin.com), the customer-first real estate brokerage, today announced the launch of its home-buying and selling services in Colorado Springs. People can now work with Redfin agents to buy and sell homes in the Colorado Springs metro area and El Paso County as well as Monument, Palmer Lake, Woodmoor, Black Forest, Falcon, Fountain, Security-Widefield and Woodland Park. "Much like Denver and Boulder, Colorado Springs has a thriving tech sector," said Redfin Regional Director Mark Reitman. "People here have heard from their friends and family in Denver, Boulder and other parts of the country about Redfin and are anticipating our arrival. We've been eager to extend our services to this city and moving into this market was a natural next step for Redfin." The Redfin model is different from that of other brokerages because it uniquely aligns agent and customer interests. Redfin agents are paid a salary and receive benefits, with customer satisfaction ratings - not transactions - determining each agent's bonuses. All reviews for all Redfin agents are published on their online profiles, and 97 percent of customers would recommend their Redfin agent. Redfin also works to put money back into the pockets of both its home-buying and selling customers. Redfin refunds homebuyers a portion of the buyer's agent commission. To date, Redfin has saved its customers more than $175 million in real estate fees. For example, for a $350,000 home, a Redfin homebuyer in Colorado Springs would save more than $2,500 at closing. For listing clients, Redfin agents charge 1.5 percent rather than the typical 3 percent, while providing the full listing service, from pricing and staging advice and professional photography through the negotiation and closing processes. Someone selling a $350,000 home would save $5,250. Redfin hired Kevin Kudrna to lead his team in Colorado Springs. Kudrna began his career in real estate seven years ago after having served in the Air Force for 11 years. He's been helping people buy and sell homes in Colorado Springs for over five years. With the arrival of Redfin, people in Colorado Springs can now use state-of-the art online and mobile tools to quickly access the most accurate and up-to-date information about homes for sale: Selling with Redfin:
