10 alternatives to Redfin: Buy, Sell & Rent Homes

  1. 1Zillow Real Estate & Rentals icon

    #1Zillow Real Estate & Rentals

    Zillow.com

    4.8(7.2M)
    Free
    88% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Zillow is the most-used real estate app here, with a 4.8 rating across 7,200,000+ reviews. It offers 3D tours, virtual staging, a buying-budget estimate, rentals, and agent connections, covering Redfin's full buy-sell-rent scope at the largest scale.

    How it differs

    Zillow's Zestimate and lead-based agent model differ from Redfin's transparent showing data and low listing commission. Some listings and pricing tools vary between the two, so the data you rely on may differ from the seed's.

  2. 2Realtor.com Real Estate & Rent icon

    #2Realtor.com Real Estate & Rent

    Move, Inc.

    4.8(1.1M)
    Free
    90% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Realtor.com is a top match, the agent-trusted standard with a 4.79 rating across 1,000,000+ reviews, offering map-based search, rich filters including school shading, value estimates, and rental and buy listings, covering everything Redfin does.

    How it differs

    Reviewers cite the same friction Redfin users see, like glitchy map-pin selection and slow filter updates. Its agent and commission model differs from Redfin's low-fee, in-house brokerage approach, so the selling experience is not the same.

  3. 3Apartment List: Apt rentals icon

    #3Apartment List: Apt rentals

    Apartment List, Inc.

    4.7(505K)
    Free
    87% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Apartment List is a strong rental-focused alternative with a 4.69 rating across 485,000+ reviews, using a personalized matching quiz to surface apartments that fit your budget and preferences, complementing Redfin's rental search.

    How it differs

    Apartment List handles only rentals, with no home buying, selling, or value estimates like Redfin. Its quiz-driven approach differs from Redfin's map-and-filter browsing, making it a specialized renter tool rather than a full Redfin replacement.

  4. 4Rocket Mortgage icon

    #4Rocket Mortgage

    Rocket Mortgage, LLC

    4.9(181K)
    Free
    86% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Rocket Mortgage covers the financing side of a Redfin home search, with a 4.86 rating across 168,000+ reviews for getting pre-approved and managing a mortgage, a natural companion when you find a home on Redfin.

    How it differs

    Rocket Mortgage is a lender app, not a listings portal, so it has no home browsing, map search, or rental tools like Redfin. It handles the loan rather than the home search, complementing rather than replacing the seed.

  5. 5Rent. Apartments and Homes icon

    #5Rent. Apartments and Homes

    Rent Group Inc.

    4.7(220.4K)
    Free
    87% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Rent. specializes in the rental side of Redfin, with a large catalog of apartments and homes for rent, filters, and alerts, serving renters who use Redfin mainly for leases. Its 4.73 rating across 206,000+ reviews shows a solid base.

    How it differs

    Rent. is rentals-only, so it offers no for-sale listings, value estimates, or selling tools like Redfin. It is a focused companion for apartment hunting rather than a full buy-sell-rent platform like the seed.

  6. 6Movoto | Real Estate icon

    #6Movoto | Real Estate

    Movoto

    4.8(54K)
    Free
    88% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Movoto pulls over 1 million active listings directly from the MLS with saved searches, favorites, push alerts, and a home-value estimator, matching Redfin's search-and-track core. Its 4.8 rating equals the seed's.

    How it differs

    Movoto's review base of 54,000+ is far smaller than Redfin's, so its community and data tools are less battle-tested. It connects you to partner agents rather than offering Redfin's own low-commission brokerage service.

  7. 7Realty ONE Group Home Search icon

    #7Realty ONE Group Home Search

    Realty ONE Group

    4.8(1.3K)
    Free
    87% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Realty ONE Group Home Search offers map and list views, fingertip-drawn search boundaries, and detailed filters for price, beds, baths, and square footage, sharing Redfin's flexible property-search tools. Its 4.81 rating is strong.

    How it differs

    With just 1,305 reviews, it is a much smaller brokerage app than Redfin, tied to Realty ONE Group agents. It lacks Redfin's nationwide data depth, rental breadth, and the low-commission selling model the seed is known for.

  8. 8realestate.co.nz: NZ Property icon

    #8realestate.co.nz: NZ Property

    Realestate.co.nz Limited

    4.6(48)
    Free
    87% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    Realestate offers map-based property search, market data, and listings for buying, renting, and commercial property, sharing Redfin's visual, data-rich search experience.

    How it differs

    realestate.co.nz serves New Zealand, so its listings are irrelevant for US users. Its 4.55 rating across just 44 reviews reflects a region-specific app that cannot replace Redfin for US home seekers.

  9. 9FIND - Homes for Sale and Rent icon

    #9FIND - Homes for Sale and Rent

    FIND Group Limited

    0.0(0)
    87% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    FIND offers home-for-sale and rental search with agent connections and a community angle, sharing Redfin's browse-and-connect approach for buyers and renters.

    How it differs

    FIND has no App Store ratings yet, so its listings depth and reliability are unproven against Redfin's huge base. From a small developer, it lacks Redfin's data tools, value estimates, and low-commission selling service.

  10. 10NestFindr icon

    #10NestFindr

    Nestfindr Technologies Ltd.

    0.0(0)
    86% similar
    Get on App Store

    Why it's similar

    NestFindr lets you browse verified for-sale and rental listings with photos and prices, message agents directly, and book inspections, sharing Redfin's search-and-connect workflow.

    How it differs

    NestFindr has no ratings yet and appears to serve a non-US market, so its listings and reliability are unproven for US buyers. It lacks Redfin's value estimates, school filters, and low-commission selling tools.
