Red Carpet Event Defeats DC Rush Hour
We had the first Redfin Red Carpet Event for the DC area last night and it was a definite success. We had almost 30 people brave the DC rush hour to come and hear our presentation but our selection of micro brews won them over pretty quickly. Almost everyone who came was already a fan of Redfin search, but they came armed with thoughtful questions and a lot of enthusiasm. The class portion of the evening was good, but the best part of the night was the post-class beer/pizza time and talking with real DC folks who use our site every day.
As promised, we’re making the slides available here. And the MLS data on sale-to-list price by neighborhood is below. The Redfin blog has a post with a handy set of real estate links as well.
