Buy a Home: Tour Homes
Ready to see your favorite listings in person?
- Tour with us and a Redfin agent will get you in.
- Or attend open houses to get a feel for a neighborhood.
Read our tips for tours and take the home tour checklist 
.
To schedule a tour, click Add to My Tour at the top right of any Listing Details page.
Or, start with your Favorites. Check the homes you want to tour, and click Tour.
Tours last two hours each, and you can see up to 6 homes per tour.
You can go on 4 home tours without paying any money up-front. Here's how:
- Your first 2 home tours are free.
- Your 3rd and 4th tours reduce your Redfin refund by $250 each for a full tour, or $125 for a single-home tour.
- After your 4th tour, tours cost $250 in advance; or $125 to see a single home.
During business hours, we'll get back to you within four hours to schedule a tour. We host home tours between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., seven days a week. Appointments fill up quickly, especially on the weekend, so book early!
Before you tour homes with Redfin, you must have a pre-approval letter for the amount of your expected offer on the homes you want to tour. To get help with pre-approval, check our list of our recommended mortgage brokers and lenders. If you're paying cash for a home, you need a verification of funds letter from your bank to set up a home tour.
We also require that you provide us a copy of your drivers' license or other ID prior to the tour. This is to keep our field agents safe.
We provide tours of bank-owned properties that are listed in the MLS, but not of bank-listed foreclosures or short-sale properties. In Washington DC, we do not provide tours of any foreclosures. Read our short sale policy.
Open houses are a great way to get a feel for home prices and to find out what you like. In a few hours, you can see five or six homes. If a home has an open house that is listed in the MLS, that home's icon on the Redfin map will say "OPEN" and the listing details page will display the open house time.
Or, drive around a neighborhood on a weekend and look for the Open House signs. And check the Sunday paper and craigslist.
If you are touring newly built homes, you should be careful to identify Redfin as your agent so you can be sure to get a commission refund.
"The information Redfin's website provides is very useful and we were able to do our own research on pricing easily. Our agent was there to assist us whenever we needed her."
