Wow Jeff you might want to consider pulling these posts because any student of logic can see that CSP destroyed you across the board. You arguments were weak and unproven, with little or no data to substantiate them other than a sorry reference to Freakonomics. A book that is more geared toward amusing than enlightening. Are you aware of the veritable plethora of stats that NAR has to “prove” that on average homeowners sell for substantially more money when they USE a realtor? One of the best books you'll ever read (and anyone who bandies about stats as if they were gospel as much as you do really needs to read it) is called “How to Lie with Statistics”. Basically, I can “prove” or “disprove” anything I want by merely manipulating what is there. Finally, considering the failure of your business model to date (as evidenced by the continually shrinking rebate first 66% then 50% and now down to 33% and less in some markets) you really ought not pontificate so wildly on a market you clearly have very little real understanding of. You really need to pull yourself away from the computer screen and step into a home for sale sometime and meet the actual people in it instead of just the numbers on the screen…Real Estate is after all a people business, but, a comp geek like you would never get that :)

Redfin are bunch of jackasses….other than being useless agents that do NO work for you, their forums are riddled with idiots and biased, unfair moderators who think being attacked by other posters and trying to defend yourself is inappropriate. Don't waste your time using this service or website….go to a real agency and get a real agent…you get what you pay for…..using discount garbage to get a home is NOT a wise thing to do.

I know so many realtors who have cheated my friends. They lie about inspections, jack up fees, tamper with appraisals and take kickbacks from mortgage brokers. Realtors have told many people that interest rates are still going down (until recently they were not), and that now is a good time to buy. They will do anything to get someone into a house. Who is left to take responsibility for talking some poor person into a house they cannot afford and end up losing?
I understand that not every realtor is not a dirtbag, but I have heard too many stories about realtors who are.
P.S. I don’t want to hear any excuses from you CSP, I think we all know what kind of realtor you are

How do you people get any work done?? I have very little time to devote to “writing or even reading” all I have seen here! Too busy representing by buyers & sellers! However I have enjoyed the excitement created here.

I wondered when someone would get the picture! Kudos to “Dual Agent?” for pointing out the obvious – if we come to a time when Sellers compensate the Listing Agent, and Buyers compensate their Buyer Agent – then there won’t be an offered co-broke for Redfin or anyone to rebate to their client. Just as Listing Agents negotiate their service fees with Sellers, Buyers would do the same with their reps, and likely be a whole lot more selective about who they worked with!
