Redfin, By the Numbers, And an Experiment

Updated on October 5th, 2020

After popping up on TechCrunch and BusinessWeek Friday and in Slashdot over the weekend, Redfin appeared on Guy Kawasaki’s blog today, in a post comparing our planned costs to our actual costs. For those putting together a financial model, here are a few bonus links:

1. On the amount of office space recommended by brokers.
2. On the need to get a quarterly third-party valuation of common stock, to protect employees from cheap stock charges.
3. And proof that California’s tiny payroll tax is tiny.

Thanks to Guy, who has put Redfin in the limelight before on why a startup was harder than we thought, and how you can do your own PR. It’s a huge honor to appear on such a great blog, even if Guy took out (again!) our Diddy link.

Anyone want to guess which site (Guy Kawasaki, Slashdot, Techcrunch) drives more traffic? We’ll post the answer Friday.
