The only problem is that unlike shopping for electronics online, buyers need to physically go to the property before making a purchase decision. What if Redfin change the business model to be a web portal instead of an real estate broker? Similar to the Amazon marketplace, if Redfin can engage in the process with any other agents, it may be a better model to make a fair share of the commissions from the buyers and sellers in each sale done through Redfin.
