Does Redfin still do a 50% kickback to you? That’s an option.

I don’t know, but I found that letting the selling agent double dip and not have an agent myself gave me a leg up. Just don’t sign anything with them saying you are the buyer’s agent. Getting the sellers agents to show you anything is hard, but possible especially if you are a lawyer and can afford it.

Next house I buy will be private party no agents.

Redfin never did a 50% kickback. It was a few grand on a million dollar house. Very small percent, but it wasn’t a fixed percent. It was some formula that they didn’t disclose. And they stopped doing it entirely.

Cartel is still extremely strong in my area (veddy veddy strong market) and the good agents (aka the ones who have the listings you want) won't put up with any jew tricks. Best I could do was sign up with a seller's agent for a place we thought we wanted, small discount for double agent, didn't buy that place anyway but then she did add value by getting us in on a private listing from within the cartel.
