Redfin’s new release is breaking new barriers, literally - they are adding bank-owned foreclosures and for-sale-by-owner inventory along side alongside their MLS listings (more from 4realz.net). The first, as far as I know, of any major brokerage to do so.
Definitely a smart move for the company which has long been out front pushing for [...]

An interesting item in last week’s Wall St. Journal about the online war of words between beer giants Miller and Anheuser-Busch.
Miller has taken the interesting tact of hiring a former Ad-Age reporter and created “Brew” Blog, a daily blog to covers the beer industry from Miller’s vantage point.

Now, it seems, they are making a bigger play for a piece of the real estate video pie. Through a partnership with [...]

REA Group is on a tear these days. They recently announced that their UK-based web site Propertyfinder.com has just acquired another another UK site Hotproperty.co.uk.
I recently had a chance to catch up with Simon Baker, CEO of REA Group who walked me through the company’s operations; which would be the envy of any Real Estate [...]
