About Redfin
Redfin is a technology-powered residential real estate brokerage and one of the most-visited U.S. home search platforms, offering MLS-based listings, map search, 3D walkthroughs, and its Redfin Estimate valuation tool. It pairs its own agents with online tools for scheduling tours, making offers, and selling at reduced listing fees, and also operates rental search and mortgage services.
