Geekier than Geek Estate & Sweeter than Sweet Digs April 3, 2008
Sometimes, you find something in your own back yard that’s an unexpected & pleasant surprise. Like that hole in the wall teriyaki restaurant right by the office, I recently stumbled upon Redfin Developer’s Blog. And since that day of first discovery, I’ve come back often yearning for more.
I just wanted to thank the engineers at [...]
Redfin on Guy Kawaski’s Blog October 1, 2007
Over on Guy Kawasaki’s Blog “How to Change the World - A Practical Blog for Impractical People”, Glenn Kelman of Redfin posts their Actual Numbers against “The Redfin Model” figures in a post titled “Financial Models for Underachievers - Two Years of the Real Numbers of a Startup”
Seems the model is based on worst case scenario, [...]
From Guy to Glenn August 2, 2007
For those of you interested in something outside of RE, you may find this interesting. Guy Kawasaki (a HERO of mine, even though I AM NOT and will not be a MAC user) wrote a great post last month about how easy it is to make millions of dollars with “user-generated, long-tail, Web 2.0, [...]
The Bus has left Ardell’s: Blog Tour USA July 28, 2007
I’ve been waiting for Ardell to do a follow up post on Blog Tour USA’s stop in Seattle. What was I thinking? Ardell was the host and an incredible one at that. She was far too busy to be snapping photos all day long (like I was). Without further ado, I present to you Blog Tour USA, [...]
There goes the neighborhood. A Redfin sign is on my street! July 21, 2007
Redfin got another $12 million in spending money from its venture capital masters this week. A lot of noise, speculation and jokes have been made in the old RE.net blogosphere about the old Redfiners this week.
Frankly, Redfin getting more spending money doesn’t really matter in the long run. Granted, I think we’d all like a [...]

Seller Privacy vs. the Connected Web May 20, 2007
There has been much discussion on RCG and other blogs regarding property blogs and seller’s right to privacy from bloggers who post “sometimes accurate/sometimes not” opinions about a listed home. As was recently shown by NWMLS’ fine against Redfin, an MLS may have legitimate rule authority to prevent a member from engaging in [...]
From stirring to digging in one day… May 17, 2007
Another day, another Redfin story:
The Northwest Multiple Listing Service has fined Redfin $50,000 and asked the company to stop publishing a popular blog in which the online real estate brokerage posted reviews of Seattle-area homes.
(”Asked” is probably a bit kind since the consequence of non-compliance was for Redfin to loose their ability to display [...]
Stirring up the Redfin dust… May 16, 2007
In some ways it is sad that both Ardell and Marlow declined to take part in the 60 minutes episode, but at least they can both blog about it afterwards… I find Marlow’s analysis of Redfin to be particularly fascinating for two reasons…
First, she debunks the idea [...]
Redfin on 60 Minutes – Something to Monitor May 14, 2007
As many of you know, Redfin was featured on 60 Minutes last night. Although, I read Inman’s copy of the NAR head’s up prior to watching the report, so it was interesting to read their spin prior to watching it. At any rate, I didn’t see Redfin’s blog post until after I watched it. I [...]
