This morning we opened our tenth market (third this year) adding over 111,000 active listings from FMLS and GAMLS and 2.1 million property records to the site.

Check out our coverage area below. The shaded green indicates the Redfin brokerage service area, the blue indicates our partner agents’ service area.

In the shaded green area, Alpharetta, Buckhead, East Cobb, Intown, Perimeter, Suwanee and Woodstock areas we have our own agents led by our Atlanta market manager, James Mark. A 15-year Atlanta resident, James has worked in local real estate as an agent and broker for over five years, helping close on over 120 homes.

What makes Redfin different from many other brokerages is that we employ our own agents, paying salary, benefits and a customer-satisfaction bonus rather than commissions.

In the blue area, West Cobb, Gwinnett, Peachtree City and Lake Lanier areas, where we don't employ our own agents, we're working with 14 partner agents who agree to provide Redfin's level of service and transparency. The refund from partner agents is 15% of the commission, worth $2,250 on the same $500,000 home. (Learn more about our partner program.)
