Updated November 2026. Redfin’s fees, minimums and services come from its own pages, read November 11, 2026. Beycome competes with Redfin, so we kept this side by side and stuck to what Redfin publishes.
Redfin charges sellers a percentage of the sale price, not a flat fee. Its fee table, read November 11, 2026, shows a 2.0% listing fee in every market it lists, with minimums from $2,000 to $9,000. You pay 1% only if you also buy with Redfin within 365 days. On a $417,500 home, 2.0% is $8,350. Another Redfin page still says 1.5%, so get the rate for your address in writing.
Our verdict in one line
Redfin is a solid pick if you want a local agent to run the whole sale, and it gets cheaper if you buy your next home with Redfin too. If you’re selling in a state Beycome covers and you’re willing to handle showings and talk to buyers yourself, Beycome costs a fraction of it.

Key takeaways
- Redfin’s fee table lists a 2.0% listing fee and a 3.0% Concierge fee, with a minimum that depends on the market.
- The 1% rate needs a second deal: you buy your next home with Redfin within 365 days, and the difference comes back as a check.
- The fee rises by 1% of the price if your buyer has no agent, and any pay you offer a buyer’s agent is on top.
- Redfin gives you a local agent, pro photos, a 3D walkthrough and what it calls preferred placement on its own site and app.
- Beycome Basic is $99 ($129 in California and Illinois) with $0 to Beycome at closing, and Concierge is $1,399.
How does selling with Redfin work?
Redfin is a brokerage with its own agents. You book a consultation, a Redfin agent in your area prices the home with a comparative market analysis, and that agent runs the listing from there.
Its “How Redfin works” guide lists what you get. The agent can connect you with people for cleaning, landscaping and staging. Redfin pays for professional photos and a 3D walkthrough. Your home gets what Redfin calls preferred placement on its site and app, plus emails, app alerts and social media ads aimed at buyers. An owner dashboard shows how many people are viewing the home.
When offers come in, the agent goes through each one with you and advises on how to negotiate. The agent stays on through inspection and contingency talks too. That is real, full service, and Redfin says its team is there “seven days a week.”
Redfin also points to its audience. Rocket described it in July 2025 as the most-visited real estate brokerage website, and Redfin’s guide says listings reach 70% more buyers. We couldn’t check those figures ourselves. For a well-priced home, though, a big buyer audience is worth something.
What is Redfin’s listing fee in 2026?
It depends on which Redfin page you read. On November 11, 2026, Redfin’s “Commission Savings Disclaimers” page showed this for every US market:
- Redfin listing fee: 2.0%.
- Redfin Concierge listing fee: 3.0%.
- A minimum commission set by market, from $2,000 (“All Other”) up to $9,000 in San Francisco.
Its “How you save” page matches that table. Its footnote reads, “We will charge a 2% listing fee, then send you a check for the 1% difference after you buy your next home with us.” But Redfin’s home sale proceeds calculator, read the same day, says “you pay a 1.5% listing fee,” with a 0.5% check after your next purchase. Our Clever review found 1.5% on Redfin’s pages in October 2026.
We can’t tell you which page is current in your market. Ask the agent which rate goes in your listing agreement, and get it in writing.
Three rules apply whichever rate you get. Redfin’s disclaimer says the fee is “increased by 1% of sale price if buyer is unrepresented.” Any pay you offer a buyer’s agent is extra; Redfin’s own example is a 2.5% buyer’s agent fee, for 3.5% in all. And Concierge listings never qualify for 1%. They get 0.5% off if you buy with Redfin.
Here’s the math on a $417,500 home, the US median existing-home price for September 2026 from NAR’s sales report. Buyer’s agent pay is left out.
| Scenario | Rate | Listing fee on $417,500 |
|---|---|---|
| Sell with Redfin (fee table) | 2.0% | $8,350 |
| Sell with Redfin (calculator page) | 1.5% | $6,262.50 |
| Sell and buy with Redfin within 365 days | 1% | $4,175 after the check |
| Buyer has no agent (fee table rate + 1%) | 3.0% | $12,525 |
| Redfin Concierge listing | 3.0% | $12,525 |
| Beycome Basic | Flat | $99 upfront, $0 to Beycome at closing |
| Beycome Concierge | Flat | $1,399 |
Redfin’s own page compares itself with “a more-typical 2.5% listing fee,” which would be $10,437.50 on the same home. Redfin is cheaper than that, as it says. A flat fee is cheaper again.
What is the Redfin minimum commission in my area?
The minimum matters most on lower-priced homes. Say you sell a $250,000 condo in Miami. At 2.0% the fee is $5,000, but Miami’s minimum is $5,500, so you’d owe $5,500. These are the minimums Redfin listed on November 11, 2026, for markets in states where Beycome lists:
| Market | Minimum commission |
|---|---|
| Miami | $5,500 |
| Palm Beach | $5,000 |
| Tampa, Fort Myers, Florida Panhandle | $4,500 |
| Jacksonville | $4,000 |
| Orlando | $3,500 |
| Austin | $5,500 |
| Dallas | $4,500 |
| Houston, San Antonio | $3,500 |
| Atlanta | $4,500 |
| Charlotte | $5,000 |
| Chicago | $4,000 |
| Los Angeles | $8,000 |
| San Francisco | $9,000 |
| Virginia | $5,500 |
| DC | $6,500 |
| Philadelphia, Detroit | $3,500 |
| All other markets | $2,000 |
We couldn’t confirm from Redfin’s pages whether the minimum still applies after the 1% buy-and-sell refund. Ask before you sign.
Who owns Redfin now?
Rocket Companies, the parent of Rocket Mortgage, completed its purchase of Redfin on July 1, 2025, per Rocket’s press release filed with the SEC. Redfin’s site footer now calls Redfin Corporation “an affiliated business of Rocket Limited Partnership.” It also lists Rocket Mortgage and Rocket Close as affiliated businesses.
For buyers, that came with an offer. Rocket’s release said buyers who finance with Rocket Mortgage and buy with a Redfin agent, or buy a home a Redfin agent lists, could get a one-point rate cut for the first year or up to $6,000 as a lender credit. We couldn’t confirm those terms are unchanged today. Ask Rocket for the current version.
In short, Redfin now has mortgage and closing companies in the same group. You aren’t required to use them to sell with Redfin.
What do Redfin reviews say?
Independent reviews of Redfin as a listing brokerage are thin. Most public reviews are about the search app or rentals, not sellers.
From Redfin’s page on Trustpilot (read November 11, 2026): a 1.8 out of 5 score from 41 reviews, 13 of them in the past year. About 22% are 5-star and 71% are 1-star. The positive ones praise the app for research and clear communication, and one reviewer credits a local office for fixing a listing error fast. The negative ones from November 2026 are about rental listings stuck in review or still showing after removal. One seller from March 2026 describes a sale that fell through over buyer financing, then slow agent follow-up.

Buy a home →Forty-one reviews is a tiny sample for a company this size, so we wouldn’t judge Redfin on it. We didn’t read Yelp or Google reviews. Your agent matters more than the brand, so ask for recent sold listings and references from the agent who would take your home.
Redfin vs Beycome: how do they compare?
These are two different ways to sell. Redfin is a full-service brokerage that charges a percentage. Beycome is a platform to sell, buy and close, at flat prices, where you choose how much help you want. “Not stated” means the Redfin pages we read on November 11, 2026 didn’t say.
| Item | Redfin | Beycome |
|---|---|---|
| Price upfront | $0 | Basic $99 ($129 in CA and IL); Concierge $1,399 |
| Paid at closing | 2.0% (fee table) or 1.5% (calculator); 1% if you also buy with Redfin; minimums apply | $0 to Beycome |
| On $417,500 | $8,350 at 2.0%; $4,175 at 1% | $99 Basic; $1,399 Concierge |
| If the buyer has no agent | Fee rises by 1% of the price | No change |
| MLS and exposure | MLS, preferred placement on Redfin.com and its app, emails and social ads | The major home search sites and the MLS |
| Photos | Free professional photos and 3D walkthrough | The maximum the MLS allows; pro photos $189 add-on on Basic |
| Who handles showings and offers | Your Redfin agent | You, with ShowingTime, e-sign and Artur AI; a dedicated expert on Concierge |
| Where you can sell | More than 80 markets in the US, plus Canada | 17 states and DC |
| Title | Rocket Close listed as an affiliated business | Beycome Title in FL, TX, MI, OH, IL and IN |
| Mortgage | Rocket Mortgage (affiliate) | Beycome Mortgage, Florida only |
| Support | “Seven days a week” | 24/7 support |
| Cancellation | Not stated | No fee*; no refund once listed |
Where Redfin wins: reach and hands-on help. It works in markets Beycome doesn’t, and its agent does the showings, the calls and the back-and-forth for you. You pay nothing until closing. If you were going to buy your next home with an agent anyway, its 1% rate is low for full service.
Where Beycome comes out ahead for most sellers in our states: the cost, by thousands. On the median home, Basic is $99 against $8,350 at Redfin’s table rate. Even Concierge, with a dedicated expert who negotiates with you, always on your side, is $1,399. You stay in control of every decision. And nothing changes at closing if your buyer turns out to have no agent. About 36% of Beycome sales closed in 2026 had a buyer with no agent (Beycome internal data, 2026). At Redfin, that case adds 1% to the fee.
Beycome also covers the rest of the move. Beycome Title closes sales in Florida, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. If you’re buying your next home in Florida, Beycome Mortgage is licensed there. Beycome users close deals every day with local agents, title companies and lenders on the other side; it’s an alternative to the usual way, not a fight with it.
Buying next, too? Beycome’s buyer program is open to every buyer, not only Beycome sellers, and you don’t have to sell with us first. Beycome keeps 1% of the price (at least $1,499) from the buyer-agent pay the seller offers and credits you the rest. On a $400,000 home with 3% offered, that’s $8,000 back. It isn’t offered in Alabama or Tennessee, where state law doesn’t allow it.
Who should pick Redfin, and who should pick Beycome?
Pick Redfin if you want an agent to do the whole job, from pricing to the last inspection repair. It also fits if your home is outside Beycome’s 17 states and DC, or if you’re selling and buying with Redfin inside a year, where the 1% rate applies. Pricier homes may also suit its Premier service, which Redfin says isn’t available in every market or for every home.
Pick Beycome if your home is in one of our states and you’re fine talking to buyers, with software and support behind you. That covers most sellers we hear from. You keep the difference: our sellers save $11,200 on average (Beycome internal data, October 2026). 22,000+ homeowners have sold with Beycome (Beycome internal data, October 2026), and Beycome is rated 4.7/5 from 1,004 reviews. Want a person on your side at the table? Concierge gives you that for $1,399.

Frequently asked questions
What is Redfin’s listing fee?
Redfin’s fee table showed 2.0% in every market on November 11, 2026, with a market minimum. Its calculator page said 1.5% the same day. Either way, you pay 1% if you also buy with Redfin within 365 days, and the fee rises by 1% if your buyer has no agent.
Is Redfin’s 1% listing fee real?

What do Redfin reviews say?
Redfin’s Trustpilot page showed 1.8 out of 5 from 41 reviews on November 11, 2026, many about rentals or the app. That’s too small a sample to judge a large brokerage. Ask your local agent for recent references.
Is Redfin cheaper than a flat fee MLS listing?
No. On a $417,500 home, Redfin’s fee is $8,350 at 2.0%, or $4,175 at 1% if you also buy with Redfin. Beycome Basic is $99, with $0 to Beycome at closing. Redfin includes an agent who handles showings and offers; a flat fee listing leaves those to you.

Yes. Redfin’s disclaimer says the listing fee is “increased by 1% of sale price if buyer is unrepresented.” Beycome’s fee doesn’t change in that case.
What are platforms like Redfin for selling a home fast?
Speed usually comes from the price and the MLS, not the brand. A Beycome listing is usually live on the MLS within hours once the questionnaire is complete. If you need a sale with no showings, cash buyers like Opendoor are faster but usually pay less.
Who pays closing costs when I sell?
It depends on the contract and local custom. Our FAQ explains who pays closing costs on a home, whichever way you sell.
Redfin’s fees, minimums and services come from its own disclaimer, “How you save,” calculator, “How Redfin works,” “Why sell” and Premier pages, read November 11, 2026. Its pages disagree on the standard rate (2.0% vs 1.5%), so check the rate for your address before you sign.
Beycome prices are as of November 2026. “$0 at closing” means no Beycome fee at closing; other closing costs, taxes, title fees and any buyer-agent compensation the seller agrees to still apply. Basic is $129 in California and Illinois. ShowingTime where the MLS offers it.
* No cancellation fee, except Georgia MLS’s mandatory $25. Listings under contract can’t be canceled. No refund once the listing is live.
Percentages here are Redfin’s published fees or examples. Commissions are not set by law or NAR rules and are negotiable. Sellers choose whether to offer buyer-agent compensation, and since August 17, 2024 those offers can’t be shown on the MLS. The buyer credit depends on the buyer-agent compensation offered and isn’t available in Alabama or Tennessee.
