Kevin Boer thought he found an error in Redfin’s accounting of its MLS results. What he found turned out to be trivial, which led to another round of war-hooping from the Redfin tribe. Meanwhile, our new contributor James Hsu has demonstrated that Redfin’s horse runs behind the middle of the pack among big-name Seattle brokerages. […]

I sat down today fully intending to log my own comments on the ongoing dual agency debate. Yawn… I will save it for another time. Somewhere along the way in my thought process (brought to you by Tylenol), I drifted to the big news this weekend: Britney Spears is apparently channeling Jeff Brown. The big […]
…is up at ReyEstate. This week’s winner is a fanzine article about Emmitt Smith, who is Dancing With The Real Estate Stars. We entered Kris Berg’s podcast interview with Redfin.com CEO Glenn Kelman. I have an inkling the podcast went unaudited at ReyEstate: The “Kissing Booth” was in full operation this week and Redfin’s CEO […]
Years ago, long before I met Cathleen the Leggy Blonde and came to be so joyously entwined if not actually entombed in matrimonial and connubial bliss, I wrote an essay about personal ads at the dawn of the age of five-hundred-channel television. But now, in the blink of a decade, we are on the verge […]
Hello Folks! It’s been a very interesting few days. First, I must say that you people are just a total class act; you couldn’t ask for a better-hearted group of people. You guys are going places, maybe even to heaven. Well, as it happens, I have some experience with professional audio engineering, and offered to […]

I had a chance to talk to Mark Sennott, President of Home Gift, this week. Home Gift is an affinity marketer much like MBNA. MBNA started as a credit card marketing division of the old Maryland National Bank. Their model was to offer credit cards to alumni association members that were “branded” as the official […]
And if Redfin’s trip to SoCal wasn’t enough of a distraction today, Zillow issued their Quarterly Home Value reports for 2006. Alas, so much “material” and so little time. You can see their “Zindex’s” for 75 metro area both on their website and at their blog. I begin by stating the obvious; their median “home […]
Surely BloodhoundBlog is not the nerdliest joint on the RE.net, but we’ve still got a lot of arrows in our quiver — er, pocket protector. For a start, I pinned the tail on Redfin, arguing that nerdy INTx geeks are in fact their target market. (Sing along: “I’m fluent in JavaScript as well as Klingon.”) […]
Even though I asked people to humor me, I have been getting a lot of comments on the issue of monopoly. Brian Brady mentions: “I think you’re losing me a bit Michael. How are 3 million licensees in a nation of 300 million a monopoly?” The issue is how 3 million people are managing to […]
Attorney Craig Blackmon issues a testy remark in a comment today, but the truth is, I could not be happier to discuss the underlying issue. Sez Craig: Well, it appears that even the “full service” agents are overcharging just a wee bit. It turns out that a successful agent must rebate nearly $69,000 a year […]
In the evolutionary chain of technology, I am somewhere between the Greg Swanns and Dustin Luthers of this world and, well, the Flintstones. Let’s just call me the missing link. My generation wasn’t born into a world where computers, much less websites and blogs and mash-ups and code, existed. With each new technological advancement, we […]
I hated my last REALTOR?. Well, hate is a strong word. I don’t really know him well enough to hate him. But I’m sure if the sale had taken just one week longer, I would have known him just long enough to wish him all manner of ill will. I KNOW I hated the work […]
You gotta love how they do things in the New York / New Jersey area. They don’t mess around. I called a very experienced agent in the NY/NJ area yesterday to discuss her experience with one of her online service providers… as well as the usual real estate chit chat. During our conversation, I asked […]
A million years ago, my mother won the office football pool. It was a Pick the Winners contest, and she did it with a plastic pig. Now, keep in mind that this is the same woman that found herself relegated to her bed for a week after losing the rubber match of “Who Can Jump […]
KIBBLE Odysseus, meet Simon. Tell me, can you really teach an old dog new tricks? Odysseus is our resident cover boy, a Bloodhound, described as a large, powerful dog tireless in his keen pursuit of a scent. Simon is a Golden Retriever, my family pet, or as we like to call him, the world’s dumbest […]
