See What the Geeks Are Raving About! (A Contest, What Fun!)

Redfin has become Seattle’s most-trafficked brokerage site through $100 a week in Google ads and word-of-mouth. We love it because it’s inexpensive and honest but every day we run into people who say Redfin? What’s that? We’re buying some ad space on Zillow and a few other sites, and now we’ve worked up a few ads.

Maybe you can tell we came up with the ads on our own. So we wondered if you could help us tune ‘em up? Leave a comment and tell us which one you like best.

But wait. Maybe you think you can come up with something totally different & awesome on your own? Then show us what you got! Post a short, punchy tag-line as a comment, and we’ll flow our fave into an ad that we put up here next week. Even better, you can also design your own & link it in. Winner gets $500 and a place in our Google-like hall of fame. We’ll even run the ad and tell you how it performed (include your e-mail when you comment so we can track down the winner).

Come on, it’s a $500 prize, what have you got to lose? GO CRAZY!

  • Here's my attempt.

    Out of the 3 you already have, I like the third one the best.
  • Used your format. Let me know what you think...
  • Don't click this if you want to pay your realtor $28,000+ to sell your home
  • What makes you think you are Seattle's most-trafficked brokerage site? ;)

    Anyway, playing to your strengths (and the "long" style ads above), here's my shot:
