If you want to know what is REALLY going on in your company, instead of shooting your “Wild Ducks” ask them directly. Don’t make the mistake of listening to your middle managers. Many of them live in the land of the Emperer’s New Clothes.

I avoid being the highest paid person at the startups I run. Give or take a percent, I’m in a two-way tie for third place at Lookery. That’s one reason we’ve had arguably no layoffs. We separated from one great employee (leaving 9 of us) when we sold the ad network portion of our business to AdKnowledge, but that’s it.

[...] We set off with the same directions: tackle a big problem, listen to customers, work hard, pinch pennies, hire slow, fire fast. Still good advice. But I think we’ll have different advice for one another once we’ve come through this downturn, about how we had to change to survive. Since real estate crashed before the overall market, Redfin (my online real estate company) has had a year’s head-start sorting out which changes seem to be working for us. [Read More] [...]

Roman empire lasted a long time: 27 BC – AD 476 / 1453
I wouldn’t say they won or lost, but I would say that it was a heck of a performance to last for so long.

Michael, thanks for using our site, and for your excellent advice. We’re looking for ways to expand our technology’s reach without compromising our commitment to making real estate more transparent, efficient and customer-driven. There are some good agents out there we could work with, but we don’t want to treat consumers like a lead, to be sold to the highest bidder.

I also don’t think we’ll ever be much like Zip, which generates business through advertising, a large sales-force and a registration-driven website.

That doesn’t mean we aren’t still sorting out other ways we could try to take our shot at making real estate better.

As for your own experience, I’m glad you found an experienced agent, but it is not easy to find one more experienced than a Redfin agent. A typical Redfin agent has closed more than 100 transactions, and negotiates a larger discount off list price with higher customer satisfaction than his traditional counterpart. Our goal is to be better, not cheaper.

Anyway, I know you didn’t want to hear a marketing spiel. But it’s really true, too. Thanks for taking the time to make a suggestion. We’ll definitely give it some thought.
