“Redfin? Now that’s good eatin’!”
Financial hurdles seek to qualify Ants and disqualify Grasshoppers. This has nothing to do with race, but every financial hurdle will seem to have disparate impact on different racial groups, depending on how exponents of those groups have expressed Ant or Grasshopper values over time.
That cannot possibly be Redfin’s fault. But Redfin and every brokerage that has transaction minimums – including all of the major iBuyers – will be devoured by race pirates until they are willing to explain how Ants get ahead in the world.
Getting ahead on my gloating, from September 22:
Greg Swann: A fun fact about #iBuyers? Every buy-box is redlining.
Color-me-Redfin is getting spanked:
AP: Fair housing groups: Redfin ‘redlines’ minority communities. Cannot not be so. Six Flags “redlines” short children – and dwarves! – on all the good rides.
Housing Wire: Redfin faces “redlining” lawsuit claiming it favors white neighborhoods. White people should sue about the even-better service the even-better-qualified Asian clients are getting. And everyone should sue waiters for the way they fawn over the big tippers!
In the so-far unspanked world:
