Redfin expands to Fairfield County

Redfin, the online real estate brokerage, is expanding to Connecticut and Fairfield County will be among the first areas covered. Richard Thomas, who ran three Century 21 offices that served Hartford, New Haven, Middlesex and Litchfield counties, will lead Redfin’s Connecticut operations, according to the company. Redfin will offer Connecticut homeowners a 1 percent listing fee, with a $3,000 minimum, which the company claims would save a homeowner $10,000 on a $500,000 sale, Housing Wire reported. [HousingWire]
