redfin

Redfin is the name of a technology-powered real estate company that operates an online marketplace for home listings and provides brokerage services. The platform combines listing data from multiple listing services with tools for buyers and sellers, including property searches, virtual tours, price estimates, and direct connections to Redfin agents. In addition to traditional brokerage, Redfin has expanded into related services such as mortgage origination and other real estate services designed to streamline the home-buying and selling process.

Redfin was founded in the United States in 2004 and went public on the Nasdaq in 2017, trading under the ticker RDFN. The company is headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and has grown to operate across numerous U.S. markets and parts of Canada. Redfin emphasizes technology-enabled interactions—digital pre-approvals, online scheduling, and agent-assisted transactions—intended to improve efficiency and transparency in real estate transactions. Its business performance is influenced by housing market conditions and interest rates, and revenue comes primarily from real estate commissions and related services.

In biology, redfin refers to the common name used for several freshwater fish species with red fins, depending on regional usage. The term does not denote a single taxon and is used inconsistently across different regions.
