A few of you know me, I was going to post to Dustin's surprised news on the main page. But this amazing Seattle Real Estate blog got me reading more. Goes to show Dustin you and your team have done an awesome job! From this quiet real estate agent, who works part time (that's me). I hope no one shows my numbers, Marlow--please don't:-) I certainly don't sell as much real estate as I use to. I tried to give up my seattle real estate site, http://www.Urbantango.com , but I guess all of this amazing stuff about Zillow, Housevalues and redFin got my attention. Dustin, I am really proud of you, I am sure we will stay connected. Best of Luck in CA! Interesting comments about real estate sales numbers, from back in February?

February 18, 2006 About a week ago I noted that the Zillow Blog added Rain City Guide to its sidepanel and that I hadn’t found out about both the Redfin Blog or the HouseValues blog because they hadn’t spread any link love. As Rain City Guide hasn’t done much to deserve traffic from either site, I didn’t really expect my comments to make much impact, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that both blogs added Rain City Guide to their sidepanel in less than a few days, thus completing my Seattle-real-estate-search trifecta!

DOes Redfin fulfill its fiduciary duty by letting the buyer do all the legwork and then move in to pass an offer to the seller as a buyer's broker and never setting foot in the property? what is the fiduciary duty of a buyer’s broker?

I completely understand the lack of time for blogging, except that for me, it seems I've had almost the exact opposite problem lately where I seem to have no time for anything else! ;) Keep the innovations flowing on Redfin. I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that those of us at Rain City Guide will be keeping a watchful eye on your developments! Thanks Rob,

Great job on the detective work! Since joining Redfin I have been too busy to keep up my blog, but as it turns out I didn’t really need to, I nailed it on the head months ago. Where is my prize? ☺ As for “Climbing into bed with the competition" wasn't I still competition at Hourlyagents? Once time permits I will start blogging at the Redfin site. Until then, keep up the good work; you have a great site!!! Cheers, Rob Dustin –

I just checked with the multiple and Yes, Rob turned in his license at Skyline Properties and is now hanging his shingle at Redfin! Marcus Smith has dropped off the roster, Bahn Lee is still there, and they've added a third agent, Edward Smith. None have any recorded sales yet in 2006. And Redfin has not one recorded sale in the entire state of Washington yet for 2006. I'll be watching those statistics very carefully over the next few months to moniter their listings and sales. This should be very interesting to see and offer plenty of financial data to justify my request for $1.25 million dollars of venture capital for my own real estate business and website. :) That is a hoot!
