I guess many of you saw the article about Redfin today in USA Today.
If you are up for some excitement and have a little cash, there is a perfect opportunity for you to be involved in a Redfin type model that recently started in the Tampa area.
I know many Realtors are opposed to the model and I understand how you feel. It's an interesting concept and if done correctly, can be quite profitable. Are you aware that their minimum charge is $4,000? That be part of the "fine print."
I saw on their website somewhere that many of their agents are closing 5-8 transactions per week. I'd say "do the math," but I'm sure you did already.
Check out our site, www.DreamRealty.com. We don't give back 2/3 - we split the commission with the buyer 50/50. We also do an excellent job with search engine optimization. Our "redfin" type site has only been up for about 2 months and Google already has more than 15,000 pages from Dream Realty in their search engine. Redfin has 277,000 - but most sites have way, way, way, less.
Try site:www.yoursite.com in the Google search bar to see how many pages Google has for your site. Make sure there is no space between site: and your site name.
Anyway, we are very excited about the progress we have made thus far - but would love to hook up with some successful brokers/investors to take it much further - before Refin actually does get to Florida.
Let me know if you want to talk. I think we don't need crazy money like the 20M Refin shot on their deal. We've gotten this far with way, way, way less.
Best wishes,
