Redfin Returns to San Diego: You Are Invited

Redfin is extending a personal invitation to you for its next San Diego Red Carpet event. Redfin has been bouncing between all its areas (Boston, Seattle, LA, SF, Chicago, Washington DC), holding home-buying classes, one-on-one meetings with agents, screenings of new Redfin features, and providing food and beverages to interested home buyers. September 24th will be the next event, this time in Carlsbad.

From 6-8 pm, at The Crossings at Carlsbad, you can join Redfin staff and agents and learn more about the home-buying process, how to use the Redfin site to its best advantage, chat up staff about what your needs are and suggestions for site improvement, and nosh on some good eats.

With the event rapidly filling up, I suggest you get on over to put your name on the list. This popular Red Carpet Event offers a one-hour home-buying curriculum that includes:

• WHERE TO LOOK ONLINE The best sites for zoning, pricing, crime, tax records, divorce records, schools, neighborhoods, mortgages.
