You did hear it here first (perhaps?): Redfin is expanding a program in which it pays people to blog about for sale listings in Seattle into the San Francisco Bay Area. Joel Burslem at the Future of Real Estate Marketing wrote Nov. 29 about Redfin hiring bloggers through Craigslist ads to feed the company's Seattle blog (Ubertor Real Estate Blog was credited with breaking the news). Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman explained the project in a Dec. 6 post on his own blog, saying the company was "invading Seattle neighborhoods with a small army of real estate bloggers" to provide "eyewitness reviews of listings from all over town."Redfin got 300 applications from its Craigslist ad, Kelman said, and hired the seven "most clever writers out of the bunch, every single one as much of a real estate freak as we are," to cover Seatlle. "If it works," he promised "we'll expand to other cities, like San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco."Well, here's the Craigslist ad for San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco, posted Dec. 15. Redfin sends you data on fixer-uppers, price reductions, and properties that have been on the market a while. You tour open houses, snap pictures, and write up four to eight reviews a week. Compensation: $100 to $200 a week. Real estate agents need not apply.

Ah! I read more than was there. My apologies. Actually, it might be cool to have tightly neighborhood-specific weblogs, like a cellular blog. Each one could feature its own content and side-blog syndicate nearby "cells". A comprehensive view would be difficult to obtain -- maybe hand-edited aggregator blogs -- but if there really is a hyper-local interest, then getting down to the level of a closely-shared-identity might work. > Well, the post title was meant to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek Greg.

My point was simply, questioning how they intend on branding the new blog, if it they mean it to be a brand new entity or part of their existing site. I kinda think they might be better off having this as a separate entity - for some of the reasons I mentioned above.

Any chance you're seeing more than is there? When Stephen Jagger sent that ad to me, I read it as meaning that RedFin wanted a cheap way to get on-line property previews without incuring procuring cause problems. IOW, a virtual catalog of listings. Hmmm… Any chance you’re seeing more than is there?
