Comments on: Redfin on 60 Minutes: “It Could Have Been Much Worse” http://blog.redfin.com/blog/2007/05/redfin_on_60_minutes_it_could_have_been_much_worse.html Redfin Corporate Blog Sun, 22 Nov 2009 20:09:04 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.1 hourly 1 By: mattb http://blog.redfin.com/blog/2007/05/redfin_on_60_minutes_it_could_have_been_much_worse.html/comment-page-1#comment-659 mattb Thu, 17 May 2007 17:09:09 +0000 http://devblog.redfin.com/blog/2007/05/redfin_on_60_minutes_it_could_have_been_much_worse.html#comment-659 Why are the only people who take issue with Redfin real estate agents? I haven't noticed any customers or consumers complain about what they are doing. Are you professionals (and I use that term loosely for the majority of agents in the business) really trying to say that we need to pay more because it's for our own good? It makes me feel like I'm 6 years old again and the catholic school nun is saying, "this is in your best interest" as she smacks my knuckles with a ruler. I didn't understand that argument then and it still makes no sense to me today. BTW, I'm not clairvoyant but I predict a bunch of anonymous posts from agents, I mean "customers" complaining about Redfin. Why are the only people who take issue with Redfin real estate agents?

Looking forward to seeing it. I'd love a post with the hate mail you received. :-) Think it would be interesting to hear the arguments. I’ve heard nothing but good about the report.

I wish you were in Colorado. I hope you expand nationally soon. Just saw 60 Minutes and you all looked great and came over really well. I wish you were in Colorado.

If you need someone to partner with to SUE TEXAS for the right to use your services email me and let's get busy!

I think this 60 min segment has huge implications for the real estate industry. I had 2 friends call me during the show to ask if I was watching. Let us know how we can support you and stop the "real sharks". I wish you were in Colorado and Arizona. Thx Wow. I think this 60 min segment has huge implications for the real estate industry.

Glad to see it happening. My husband and I sold our own place in Florida about 10 years ago before we moved back to Tennessee. It will probably be a while before it gets here to the East coast. My mom used to say we were 10 years behind times. I just happened to watch 60 min. this week. Glad to see it happening.
