Poinciana real estate homes

Ponderings on Poinciana Fl.

Redfin simply spun!

OK, so I guess "60 Minutes and Redfin" is the topic du jour. I've been reading all the Blog fodder today trying to decide whether or not to chime in. Well, why not? It is an important topic and as usual I have an opinion, for whatever it

Great post Bryant! I missed the original on AR about raising the bar on becoming licensed. I wrote a similar opine back in September here:

It remains one of my favorites.

Congrats on the Carnival nod

You make some good points Bryant.

It's interesting to watch Realtors and real estate agents responses. Many are upset, but not upset enough to get off their butts and upgrade their technology skills.

They're up in arms over Zillow, Redfin and the others - but only to the point of moaning and bitching. This is part of the group that needs to move on.

Have you noticed that Zillow is not the topic of every third blog post or news story lately? Did their spin machine break?

Thanks Athol! I think it was you though. Not me.

John, Thanks for stopping by. Getting defensive is definitely not the response to have. Hey Redfin is entitled to do business any way they want. REALTORS(R) getting angry is exactly the response they are looking for. I choose to "up my game".

Zillow is last month's news. At least until they unveil a new feature.
