The listings were not found on the MLS, and I think i had to basically call and 800 number to coordinate the showing which was slightly interesting since they didn't / couldn't have MLS lockboxes (in NJ we have electronic/satellite tracked boxes).So, Redfin still believes that their "national call center of salary agents" with "pay the showings local agents" is better, not sure in what sense (probably for THEIR profit margins), than the current system.This continued trend to non-person-to-person transaction system might appeal to the younger generations, but I think they will find it lacking if given the chance.
