The Real Estate Bowl

Vice President

Should I use a real estate broker to list my rental property? Or can I get away with listing it myself on Zillow, Redfin (all the major platforms) and just posting a nice descriptions with professional pics? For those who’ve listed themselves - what platforms are best to perform a credit check?

    Redfin is a great company

    Apr 29, 2023 - Sales Advisor in Los Angeles, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    I really appreciate the culture and what they try to do for their employees and the clients. Real estate is a challenging field with a lot of people who cut corners but Redfin does it's best to be transparent and honorable.

    Cons

    Communication between departments can falter even with the amazing technology they have developed but that has more to do with human error than anything else. It's also just real estate so when the market is good, opportunities are available but when the market is down it can be tough to move into other positions.
