What a fantastic way to kick off the year! Redfin is excited to welcome over 140 talented agents who are ready to elevate their businesses with Redfin Next, and seize all of the opportunities this year will bring. Let’s give a warm welcome to our January Newfins—we can’t wait to see all you accomplish this year!
Among the new faces joining us is Redfin Premier agent Tamara Mattox-Kabat. She’s joining our Denver team with more than 16 years in the real estate industry, including time with Keller Williams, Compass and Zillow. With over $80 million in sales and a strong leadership background, Tamara brings a wealth of expertise, integrity, and positivity to every transaction.
“The opportunity to build a team, collaborate with other top agents, and receive support from seasoned managers is so valuable. Redfin’s business model is unique because it covers most traditional expenses, unmatched marketing, and all components of running a business so we as agents can solely focus on providing exceptional service and value to buyers and sellers,” Tamara said. “Right out of training I had multiple listing appointments and tour requests, and have had multiple buyers pre-approved.”
In addition to the fresh faces, we’re also thrilled to welcome back some familiar ones—like Joseph Pollack, who is rejoining our Boston team after some time at Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty. Joseph has held a variety of roles at Redfin, from associate agent to sales manager, and with $270 million in lifetime sales, he’s a force to be reckoned with. We’re excited to have him back as a Redfin Premier agent and a member of the Pollack and McLaughlin Group!
“Redfin’s consumer-first mission has always resonated with me, which is why I stayed at Redfin for almost a decade before seeing what the other side is like,” Joseph said. “The Redfin I’m joining this time around has evolved in positive ways thanks to Redfin Next. Agents have more latitude to create the business they want, including building and developing a team, while still getting resources and support from Redfin to help them excel. It’s the sweet spot between the traditional real estate model and Redfin’s own style.”
Tamara and Joseph are one of nearly 900 agents who have joined Redfin since we rolled out Redfin Next, our game-changing agent pay plan. All new and existing Redfin agents get the best of both worlds: big commission splits and customer introductions, technology, marketing, support and benefits to build your pipeline. We fully committed to Redfin Next because it provides all the components you need to take your business to the next level.
We also recently launched Redfin Teams, which will help you multiply the effects of Redfin Next. This ensures that successful agent teams can smoothly transition to Redfin without skipping a beat. Nearly a third of Redfin agents have joined or formed a team since the program began, and we’re accepting new applications every day.
If you’re looking for a new brokerage to call home, or simply want to learn more about what Redfin has to offer, drop me a line – I’d love to chat with you!
Once again, welcome to all our new and returning Redfinnians. We’re so excited to have you!
