"Redefine real estate in the consumer's favor"
I started this post last Saturday and couldn't finish it. Since then $RDFN has gone from $71.50 to $82.70

That is a 15% increase in a week.

Earnings are coming up in the next week or so.

$RDFN has $Z and $OPEN as competitors but its not an apples to apples comparison.
$RDFN is a fully integrated company that offers salaried agents, title services, lending services and more.

Let's start with the salaried agents part where they receive a a base salary plus bonus instead of a commission and even have healthcare and other benefits.
This brings equality to the sales process because agents aren't just motivated by the total price of a home and will end up giving better customer service to lower priced homes.

$RDFN is able to use this model to offer a higher level of customer service. A long term investment.
By integrating lending and title with the home buying process $RDFN is able to offer a "one stop shop" solution to a homebuyers needs.

This convenience factor draws a lot of people to use $RDFN to make the home buying process much easier.
$RDFN also incentivizes home buyers and sellers to use then again and again as they offer a discount to repeat customers. This is unique to $RDFN

And their rates are already lower for the industry.
The end goal here is not to make the most money on buying and selling homes but make a lot of profit on the associated services...

1. Insurance
2. Lending
3. Legal services

$RDFN is building a very scalable system. Making things easier will attract a lot of customers.
On a valuation basis $RDFN is cheap compared to $Z.

Zillow has a market cap of $36 bilion to Redfins $8 billion market cap.

$RDFN revenue is approaching $1 bil vs $Z approaching $3 bil. That alone helps convince me that $RDFN is the better buy.
