..comes from some other beginning's end.
Nine months ago I created 4% Real Estate in an effort to provide top notch real estate services at a reduced commission. In an effort to continue to provide exceptional service at a reduced price, I have left John L Scott Real Estate and joined the United States' first Internet Real Estate Broker, Redfin.com. As a Real Estate Agent at Redfin, I will be bringing Redfin's superior listing and buying services to Pierce County, Kitsap County, and Thurston County.
As I begin this new roll at Redfin, and as I maintain Blue Collar Agents, I am fearful that posts on this blog will be sporadic, if any at all. That being said, thank you for your readership and quality comments, they are truly appreciated. I also invite you to take a look at the Blue Collar Agents Blog, a blog about discount agents that I co-write with Franz Honer from Southern Maine.
May your real estate journies be quality, exciting, and inexpensive!
Cheers,
Trevor Smith

My Interview at Redfin
I recently interviewed for a Real Estate Agent position at Redfin, an Internet based discount brokerage here in Seattle. I met with Allie Howard, Manager of Washington Operations and Rob McGarty, Manager of West Coast Operations. My already high opinion of Redfin has gone up another notch after meeting these two wonderful people.
Allie and Rob were relaxed, positive, and sharp people. They interviewed me by truly getting to know me - allowing me to express my passions and experiences freely. They shared their vision and passion for Redfin and helping real estate consumers as well. As I left our meeting, I knew that despite if I get hired or not, I had found an ally in the real estate industry.
It wasn't just Allie and Rob that impressed me either. Aime Cook, Redfin's Recruiting Director was incredibly responsive in communicating with me and giving me feedback on the interview. Another Redfin employee (please forgive me I forgot her name) even recognized me from my blogging. The whole company truly felt like a community.
I am hopeful of receiving this position. I know they have some more interviews to complete, and it will be at least a week before I hear back.
Redfin has the feeling like "Something big is going to happen." I wonder if this is what Google felt like in 1998, or Microsoft in 1988? I am hoping to be on the ground level of this amazing company.
If you are one of my clients reading this, rest assured, you're needs will not forgotten in any transition I make. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this post please email me at trevors@johnlscott.com.
