		<description>Hint to a buyer,

I really don&#039;t think the redfin truly a buyer agent, they act like buyer agent until your offer is been accepted by the seller, once it&#039;s done the red fin agent will act like seller agent, and they make you accept everything the seller says. Not even little bit consideration about the buyer.
surely I won&#039;t recoment my true friends.</description>

		<description>I work for a web-based company and we all have at least 2 monitors. I code in one and preview my work in a browser on the other.

Just to bring this back on subject, I&#039;m also very disappointed that Sweet Digs will no longer be able to write about individual houses on the market. I hope in the future something can be done to change this.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m an agent in Orlando and I for one am a big fan of what your company is trying to achieve. Innovative ideas only create competitiion and competition only benefits the consumer. Many people in the real estate world are so commission focussed that they forget entirely about the client. Job well done guys! I&#039;m batting for you and would love to see you thrive in this new real estate environment.</description>

		<description>Donald,

Redfin is in compliance with all laws and regulations.  

A licensed Redfin agent accompanies our clients on home tours, structural inspection, appraisal and the final walk through.  In states like California where a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) is required the licensed Redfin agent performs a visual inspection and completes the TDS paperwork.

We only operate where we can be in compliance with all the local laws.  As David points out, we can&#039;t enter Tennessee until the laws change.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

Rob McGarty
Redfin
Director, Real Estate Operations

		<description>The real estate lobbyists have been successful in getting the TN legislature to enact a rebate ban which would make it illegal to give buyer broker rebates; thus creating a legal cartel. The legislature sided with the real estate agents and ignored the petitions from the DOJ. This is very troubling for free market competition and will harm the consumer. Please contact the Governor Bredesen and ask him to VETO House Bill 2095.  He has until 5/30 to sign.

		<description>I think the MLS needs to spend less time picking on Redfin, and actually crack down on the shady things that so many other agents are doing, such as:

1. Listing the square footage of the house while including the garage square footage in that number, the unfinished basement (even on houses where the basement is only accessable from outside, or the ceilings are far to low to even consider finishing)

2. The business of re-listing a house under a new MLS number without the regulation number of months off market prior to re-listing. Often they&#039;ll have a different price or with different photos (the only people who would be fooled by this are customers new to the market; any agent or seasoned consumer will notice this)</description>
