I have used Redfin in TX and CA. Really like it, but I also do a lot of the research and work. They basically push through the transaction. This is how I prefer to do real estate transactions.

If you’re trying to sell in a hot area, you can probably just put it on the mls yourself through a self service brokerage. You’d have to do the showings or have the lock box.

You’d save about 2.5-3% doing this, so you’ll have to decide if it’s worth the hassle. Listing it yourself would be a flat fee to get it on the mls plus professional pictures. Probably around $500-700 or so total. I’ve sold places both ways. Generally I think it’s fine to sell a place without a broker, but I’d recommend using a broker to buy a place.

For those who want some lighter reading on Marx, I can recommend this. Each chapter starts with a standard anti-Marx argument and then gives the rebuttal. The left can sometimes be a bit “I can’t believe you disagree, I won’t even engage’ but this means we are often not well rehearsed to oppose the other side of the argument.
