As you said, it's like Z, T & R - OUR CLIENTS ARE USING THEIR SITES! They have a mac-daddy search with tons of local information.
If you want to spend the big bucks and have a site just like theirs, you probably still won't keep your peeps on your site. They search on multiple sites - period - whether we like it or not!

As a commercial broker, I do not care about Redfin.
I hate that I must similarly care about OUR Zillow . . . Loopnet/Costar.
But I do for the same reason. Consumers do.

Redfin has become a key factor in real estate for listings and sales and an omnipresent online force. Ignore them at your peril.

People "care" about a lot of things. Does their "caring" matter to me? It depends. And yes, that's an "it depends" answer that qualifies as a valid one in my opinion just as "I don't know" does too.

Redfin has become a favorite of many buyers in this area. Im betting that soon many agents won't even care about idx.

If my client cares, I care. Whether it's Redfin or Zillow or property taxes or the number of motorcycles in the neighbor's driveway.

Alan,
That IS why we should care.
And let's not belittle the fact the consumer does.

While they are not everywhere, they are in my market. One of their agents showed one of my listings today and I did bring a buyer to one of their listings. While I'm not a fan of their business model (8-5 agents, days off, etc.), they do have a nice searching site. Although I do have to say that the overwhelming majority of my open house traffic comes from Zillow, followed by signs, then Realtor and then Redfin.

Because real estate is considerably cheaper in my area than others in the country, we see a lot of companies other than the regular brokerage. Redfin, Zillow, Perch, OpenDoor, Knock, you name it and they are all here.

They send me about 5 emails aday on what is available in Jupiter Florida. It is annoying but I don't delete it because it is everything in Jupiter Florida.

I saw that also but I think it could be a regional thing. They would want to be in our market before someone out in the boonies. All my clients have told me that it's the best & easiest one to use. They really like it.

If the consumer cares you have to, but they really are not in my market.

I have noticed some buyers using them for the rebate commission, not many sellers though around here

they are of no consequence in my area.... might be two offices near us....

This business is about the consumers and yes, they love RedFin and Zillow. Like it or not, they have made products that buyers, and sellers, click on first and sometimes exclusively..even when they are working with us.
Just like you, I have found myself there when the MLS doesn't respond quickly when someone wants to know about "that house over there." The sites work quickly and are mobile friendly.

Okay ... I've not had one client mention that company. I am aware they exist.

I felt the same way. Now I see more listings out in my neighborhood. 1% listing fee, gave kick back to buyers. Now 30% of home sellers think 1% is too high. We got some 0.9, 0.8%. A fair amount of home sellers (30%) feel they do fine w/o any realtors. The next best technology real estate brokerage is COMPASS. They bought many high end brokerage financed by Softbank plan to go IPO as the next best tech realtor.
