What Redfin Won't Tell You
"Redfin's 1.5% seemed great until I realized their agent was handling 30+ listings at once. Couldn't get them on the phone when I had a time-sensitive offer."

Redfin's Volume Model
Redfin's "discount" comes at a cost:
- Volume agents: To make the math work, Redfin agents handle many more listings than traditional agents
- Less personal attention: When you're one of 30+ clients, response times suffer
- Still commission-based: 1.5% is better than 6%, but it's still $9,000 on a $600K home
Redfin improved on the old model. We're replacing it entirely.
The SIXPERCENT Difference
We're not here to take a slightly smaller cut. We're here to eliminate the cut entirely.
- $995 success fee — only if your home sells
- AI-powered assistance — pricing, marketing, negotiation guidance 24/7
- Complete transparency — no hidden fees, no steering, no games
- You stay in control — it's your home, your sale, your decisions
Real Numbers, Real Savings
Let's say you're selling a $400,000 home:
| With Redfin | $9,000 |
| With SIXPERCENT | $995 |
| You Keep | $8,990 |
That's not a typo. $8,990 stays in your pocket where it belongs.
