ParticipantThey have been extremely successful & popular with sellers & buyers in the Northwest. So much so, that the realtors tried to lock them out of the MLS but there was a lawsuit and Redfin won (hands down). There was a story about this on 60 minutes around six months ago.
New-Renter: Their site doesn’t run slow for me. I have cable. Are you using cable, DSL or dial up?

ParticipantI picked up 2 clients from Redfin. They are potential buyers and liked Redfin but could never get a Redfin agent to show them homes. The idea of them having to have the listing agent show the home because Redfin would not worked some of the time.

ParticipantI bailed on moving to San Diego and decided to go back to Seattle where the job market and pay was more favorable for my line of work. I also went through Redfin as a buyer. The first attempt to secure an agreement was a big fiasco (due to the fault of the seller), I didn’t feel Redfin was carrying the ball enough. But on the second property and a second agent, things went very well, and I appreciated the savings.

October 25, 2007 at 8:36 PM #91970ParticipantEx-SD,
I have a fast connection, 6mb DSL. I do like Redfin’s website, but tend to use ZipRealty and SDLookup a little more. Where I found Redfin slow was when I’m mapping a large area, for example an entire zip code, and also select a year or more of past sales. When you zoom in and out from there, it can be very slow. However, I tried it tonight the way I usually do and it was significantly faster. Maybe they upgraded their systems recently? In any case, their map view is incredibly useful to get a quick grahpical overview of recent comps (up to 2 years) and current listings. I still have to go to multiple sites to get everything I want, but each of them seem to be constantly improving as they are in a fierce battle to one-up eachother. Great news for us consumers….October 25, 2007 at 8:36 PM #91981ParticipantEx-SD,
