Substantial Losses Reported at Zillow & Redfin

by Betsy Weyer

The Seattle Times recently reported that both Redfin and Zillow showed drops in gross profit, with substantial losses.  Over my decades in the industry, I have focused on doing an exemplary job of representing both my buyer and seller clients.  Real Estate is a people business, with excellent service dependent upon good technical knowledge and awareness of the importance of the real estate purchase or sale. Real Estate will always be a people business.  There are too many variables in each home and property to believe home values can be solely interpreted by a logarithm. Call Betsy when you are ready to talk Real Estate.
