Inman: Redfin cancels open houses due to coronavirus concerns

Hi All,

Inman (17 March 2020) Redfin cancels open houses due to coronavirus concerns - CEO Glenn Kelman: 'The whole industry has been talking about going virtual for a decade'

'“The whole industry has been talking about going virtual for a decade. Now we’re getting our first real test of how that all works when it has to work,”' says Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman in this INMAN article. '“No brokerage has invested more in preparations for virtual open houses, virtual tours, virtual contracts and closings,” Kelman wrote. “The coronavirus has just made the future we’ve been preparing for come sooner.”'

"Redfin provides interactive, three-dimensional scans of all homes listed by Redfin agents as part of a digital marketing campaign designed to attract buyers online. The brokerage also offers live video-chat tours of every listing — not just Redfin listings," says the Inman article.
