Redfin's "Rate An Agent"

Online real estate services company Redfin today announced that it will begin working with outside agents in some neighborhoods. "We've got nearly half a million people browsing our website in areas where we can't afford to have agents," Redfin Chief Executive Glenn Kelman told the Seattle Press-Intelligencer. "So we're asking those folks if they want to work with a traditional agent, but on Redfin's terms." Additionally, the press release from Redfin states that it'll now allow reviews of agents. Via the release: "The company also released a new version of its website that automatically publishes customer-service reviews and transaction histories for its own agents and those of its partners. Redfin is the first company to publish every transaction and every review for all of its agents." Full press release is here. [Seattle PI/Redfin]
