Redfin Unleashes First-To-Know Program

Real estate website, Redfin.com, has unleashed a new feature for its site with its First-to-Know program.

Home and/or condo owners can use the service to guage market demand by snapping some pictures, writing a “MySpace” blurb and posting the listing on Redfin’s blog.

While the concept isn’t groundbreaking, why don’t more real estate agents do something similar? The pictures and descriptions give the condo more personality than virtually every MLS listing I’ve seen recently. And the owner, himself, has pointed out some of the perks of living in the place with favorite nearby attractions, features of the house and “What We’ll Miss the Most.”
