What is a Partner Agent?
Partner Agents work for traditional brokerages like RE/MAX or Coldwell Banker but have teamed up with Redfin to help you buy or sell your home. Partner Agents have gone through an extensive interview process to ensure that only experienced agents, who adhere to the same customer service values as Redfin Agents, work with our customers.
Partner Agents are offered to our customers when Redfin Agents are experiencing exceptionally high customer demand or if a home is outside our direct service area.
What are the benefits of buying with a Partner Agent?
Partner Agents are held to the same high standards and values as Redfin Agents to ensure that customers have an excellent home-buying or selling experience.
- We interview every candidate to ensure they are experienced and require previous customer reviews, which are posted on their online profile.
- Partner Agents must maintain a 4+ star rating in order to work with us.
- You have the support of the Partner Team, located at our Seattle headquarters and Chicago Support Hub, to ensure that you have the best experience possible. The Partner Team can help answer questions or discuss changing your agent if you feel the agent assigned to you is not a good fit.
How can I tell the difference between a Redfin Agent and Partner Agent on Redfin.com?

Buying with a Partner Agent
Partner Agents can help you find homes that meet your criteria and offer the same full service as a Redfin Agent. Please note, that the buyer’s contract will not be under Redfin but the Partner Agent’s brokerage.
Selling with a Partner Agent
Since Partner Agents come from a traditional brokerage, they charge a standard list fee typically around 2.5-3%, which can potentially be negotiable. Please note, the seller’s contract will not be under Redfin but the Partner Agent’s brokerage.
Touring with a Partner Agent
Customers are able to put in a tour request online. You will receive an email with your Partner Agents information and how they work. Once you have been connected with your assigned Partner Agent, we’ll send you another email to give you their contact details, and all future tour requests and questions go directly to them.
What if I want to Change Agents?
Requesting a change in agents is an easy process that only takes a few steps.
How do I know if I’m connected to a Partner?
The agent you are assigned to will notify you if you are working with a Partner Agent. You can also see this on your account and receive an email confirming that you will be working with a Partner Agent:
Can I view my transaction with a Partner Agent in my Deal Room / Owner Dashboard?
Currently, customers connected with a Partner Agent do not have access to an online deal room. If you have questions about your transaction with your Partner Agent, please contact them directly or the Partner Team at partner-agents@redfin.com or 253-271-8436.
