We can scale those results any way we want and they still stink. Any brick ‘n’ mortar accountant could do the math. As with Web 1.0, it doesn’t matter how many different ways you shout down the numerical analysis, ten trillion times a tiny loss is a huge loss.

You're right, those 13 sales are Redfin's CLOSED sales for 2006. All I have to go on for information are the newspaper articles and interviews you've been doing, so perhaps you should put me on your press release list so I can get the info straight from the horse's mouth :) Congratulations on your good fortune! -- Marlow Glenn,

Inaccurate search and local information, combined with no market knowledge yields a whole lot of nothing in the buyer/seller mind.

Many of our sales have come recently. The number that are pending or closed suggests to us that many sellers are glad to have Redfin buyers touring their properties, and that our customers (many from Amazon and Microsoft) are well-qualified to buy. Regards, Glenn Hi Marlow,

I spoke with Redfin's Director of Marketing this morning and he was understandably excited about the launch, but this is some good dirt on their revenue model! Great info here.
