Homebuyers and Sellers: Get Smart for Free

Buyers/sellers to be, rejoice: this month brings a surprising wealth of free resources for you, all of them aimed at making you smarter about the process.

You might already have read, for example, about Redfin’s Red Carpet event, August 13. Basically, this is your chance to get to know Redfin, plus take a homebuyer class, eat pizza and drink beer– all free. (Read more about Red Carpet events here.
