How bad is your listing agent?“There are two real estate brokerage business models: Selling houses or milking agents. Redfin yearns to discover that it can’t do either.” –Greg Swann I’ve spent much of this month documenting how ineptly Redfin.com lists homes for sale. It wasn’t something I set out to do. I’ve been dour about them […]

“Real estate is kids and dogs – and the redoubt that keeps them safe.”America is aghast at its own collapse, and this seems to have resulted in a dearth of fluffy real estate lies. But Redfin always comes through, today with a survey of recent movers’ attitudes about hot-button political issues. That alone seems stupid to […]
“‘Lizard season!’ ‘Bunny season!’ ‘Lizard season!’ ‘Bunny season!’ ‘Lizard season!’ ‘Bunny season!’”“Showing causes damage.” I said that to a seller last week, in support of taking an early cash offer, in preference to waiting through the weekend to see if financed buyers could try to beat it. Fun, then, to see Redfin.com – America’s highest-tech national […]
“Why are dogs never Marxists? Canines already know you can’t eat your own shit – which is all the wealth a Marxist can produce.”I am circumscribed, written into my corner, temporarily. I threw out my back yesterday, so I am leaving you to our own devices with the news – with some commentary as we go. […]
“A secret to the inherent lovability of dogs: Like all toddlers, we’re terrible at guile.”I mock Redfin a lot, but it’s only because they deserve it. Probably, Zillow has been lying about the rioting for thirteen solid months, too, but Redfin just has the more-mockworthy Marxist take on things. So, as everybody knows, the red-hot real […]
“How many toy balls is too many? Counting the lost ones?”I would dearly love it if some impresario would put me on a stage with Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman, so we could discuss his strategy of race piracy as a business plan. As discussed, I find the bigotry repellent, not the least because, as with every […]
“Giving chocolate to dogs is not something to celebrate – not even if it’s ‘FREE!’”Real estate is kids and dogs. Shorties need a back yard, but what matters more is that residential real estate is a safe haven for kids and dogs. So it’s doubly funny that Redfin is promoting how to celebrate “Pride Month” at […]
“It’s okay if you don’t like dogs. Just don’t insist to the world that you do.”Redfin is coming to Boston – if you consider the remote outer-suburbs Boston. From the link: Redfin is making offers on single-family homes and townhomes built after 1900 in parts of Middlesex, Norfolk and Plymouth counties. The company expects to expand […]
“Justice is a piece-rate and a toll-road. Straight-commission sales is both.”Is Glenn Kelman the Orren Boyle of real estate? While Basecamp is graciously showing the world how to be based in business, Kelman is the social savior who has a solution for every problem except Redfin.com’s currently-completely-useless marketing strategy. The flavor of the micro-second? Pocket listings. […]
“Dogs have collars because they’re never not toddlers. What’s your excuse?”John Kass, who I swear is anointed in his dreams by Mike Royko’s Ghost, brings us Federal Judge James Ho, who explains quite cogently why all of “anti-racism” is hideously racist: Once everyone has had full and fair opportunity to be considered, you pick on the […]
“Someday soon you may get to talk to your children from behind bars. How much worse to have put them there…”Continuing his quest to be real estate’s leading champion of the forthcoming anti-Ant genocide, Redfin’s Glenn Kelman yesterday jumped onto the pandering-to-aggrieved-Asians boxcar bandwagon. As I’ve pointed out before, racism is a terrible idea for both […]
“Everybody begs for Batman – until they wake up under Batman’s thumb.”I’ve been meaning to mock Glenn Kelman and Redfin for its commissions hypocrisy, so forgive me my diversions: Redfin, a national real estate brokerage currently under investigation for undeniable anti-black disparate-impact redlining, is today making claims about primarily black and primarily white neighborhoods – the […]
“You have my personal guarantee that BloodhoundBlog will never, ever turn anti-Bloodhound.”Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman has apparently made a fetish of purging his company of the awful influence of creatures like himself – white and male. If we were to adapt those terms and say instead that he was out to persecute people who are non-white […]
“People don’t like riots? Who knew?”I swear, you cannot make this stuff up. Seattle is being emptied by its riots, and Redfin notices by ostentatiously not noticing. As was noted in the comments here lately, this is by now arguably a matter of fraud – boosting their own home values as they too race away […]
“Regardless of how things turn out, Washington D.C. should be ripe for iBuyer redlining and block-busting by February.”I love this quote from Redfin, linked below: “The hotter the market, the less attractive it is for home sellers to let an iBuying company take a cut of the sale,” said Redfin Lead Economist Taylor Marr. “With home […]
