Redfin vs. The Jamil Brothers.

The "Must Buy" Handcuff

Did you know? Redfin's advertised fee is often conditional. It typically requires you to buy your next home with them within 365 days. If you don't? You could owe them the difference.

Our Promise: Our 1.5% fee is locked in. Whether you buy with us, move to Florida, or decide to rent, your savings are guaranteed.

The Volume Game vs. The Value Game

Big box agents are often salaried employees managed by algorithms. They are incentivized by volume (how many homes they process).

Our Promise: As business owners, we only eat if you win. We are incentivized by profit—getting you the highest possible price to maximize your check at closing.

The "Big Box" Model

• ❌ Lead Agent: Sets price, puts sign in yard.
• ❌ Associate Agent: Handles open houses (often never met you).
• ❌ Coordinator: Handles paperwork and emails.
• ❌ Tour Agent: Unlocks door for buyers.

Result: Information gets lost in translation.

The Jamil Brothers Model

• ✅ Arslan & Saad: Set strategy & price.
• ✅ Arslan & Saad: Host open houses & vet buyers.
• ✅ Arslan & Saad: Negotiate offers directly.
• ✅ Arslan & Saad: Answer your call at 9 PM.

Result: Seamless execution and accountability.

"Sold for $45k Over Estimates"

"We considered Redfin, but Arslan's strategy for our Ashburn home was completely different. He didn't just list it; he marketed it. We got multiple offers way above what the 'online estimate' said."

- Sarah & Mark, Ashburn

"Personal Attention Matters"

"I was worried about being passed around to different agents. With Saad, I had one point of contact the entire time. The 1.5% fee was real, and the service was luxury level."

- James P., Fairfax

"No Hidden Handcuffs"

"Other discount brokers told me I had to buy with them to get the deal. The Jamil Brothers gave me the 1.5% listing fee with zero strings attached. Honest and transparent."

- The Davidson Family

Is Redfin actually cheaper?

Not always. While their base fee is advertised as low, selling for a lower price due to "volume-based" service can cost you tens of thousands in lost equity. A specialized negotiator often nets you more money, even with similar fees.

Do I have to buy with you to get the 1.5% rate?

No. Unlike many big-box competitors, The Jamil Brothers do not require you to buy your next home with us to unlock the 1.5% listing fee. It is a standalone value.

Will my home be on the MLS?

Yes. You get full MLS exposure, professional photography, open houses, and syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, and yes—even Redfin.com. You get the same exposure, just better representation.
