I admire the entrepreneurial spirit of the folks at Redfin, and I like the concept in general – even though I’m a licensed agent and work within the context of the “traditional” real estate brokerage. Two points, however – first, trademarking “Real Estate 2.0″ is just annoying (and I and many others were certainly using the term liberally prior to the trademark filing) – second, HomeGain, and perhaps many more companies out there, were in the business of “online brokerage” well before Redfin even came into being.

I was wondering if you have been getting any complaints about how some builders are getting more than their moneys worth, by hiding things in their contracts, that even my friend who is a legal assistant did not see.

In my case I got ripped off, because the sales people for Portofino Palms, told me that I could use my own bank, but they failed to tell me that somewhere hidden in the contract, I also had to let them know in the first 10 days that I wanted to use my own title company.

Well in the end their title company came up with over $8000 in fees. Had I used my own title company the fees would have been only $3000. So I got taken for $5000 and their lawers were laughing all the way to the closing table. For more info read my web log http://www.blogsomebody.com
