Real estate site Redfin files for IPO
I hope this company sees nothing but success.<p>I bought my house through Redfin last year, and not only did I save ~$5k in commissions compared to a conventional realtor, I also felt the process was much smoother and more pleasant than other times I&#x27;ve interacted with a conventional realtor.<p>It&#x27;s simply absurd that in an era where any buyer can view photos of a house for sale online real estate agents still expect to receive 6% commission on the sale of a house.
