Real Estate Agent or Redfin?

I own a home in the San Francisco Bay Area that I'm planning to sell this year. I'm debating between using a real estate agent I know or Redfin. The real estate agent is very good at what she does, and is an expert in our neighborhood. I spoke to the Redfin agent, she seems very good, and is the top performer in our city.
We expect our house to sell between $1.7M and $1.9M.
Real Estate Agent: 2.5% to her, 2.5% to buyer agent
Redfin: 1% to Redfin (if we buy using them as well, which we probably will, 2.5% to buyer agent.

In a normal housing market, I think there's a better case to be made for using the real estate agent, but in a market as hot as this one, I know we will get a lot of people viewing the property and probably multiple offers. Is it likely that a good real estate agent will bring $25K in value over the Redfin agent?

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
