Fun, then, to see Redfin.com \u2013 America’s highest-tech national database of Pending listings \u2013 promising to double sellers’ unvetted showings.<\/a><\/p>\n

Want me to sell you on Buyer’s Brokerage? Someone has met the buyer, has run his credit, has photocopied his driver’s license.<\/p>\n

Redfin is bragging that it is adding security to a stupidly insecure process, but so what? Will double the showings surface the best-qualified buyer? No, that’s the all-cash offers that come in without showings on the first day. Will it result in less<\/em> damage to the property? Will unsupervised access get some houses trashed, others burned to the ground? Hide and watch.<\/p>\n

What’s most interesting about big-talk technology in real estate? Everything it says to the marketplace is nuts \u2013 and all of its “listings” are Sale Pending.<\/p>\n
