redfin.com Adds Atlanta, Local Teams

US online real estate brokerage redfin.com has now added Atlanta, increasing its listings by 30 percent.

redfin.com, which is one of two US real estate websites to have incorporated Google Maps’ new angled view to its listings, says the Atlanta team will be headed by broker James Marks.

redfin.com also explains that it is rolling out local real estate teams for every market it serves. redfin.com explains that an increase in business has made the introduction of local teams necessary.

“We think teams is another big step toward becoming a mass-market service that blends the best of the traditional world with new technology, and a commitment to serving customers rather than chasing commissions,” redfin.com says.

Along with the addition of Atlanta and the move to local teams, redfin.com has also introduced email alerts on recent past sales and reviews on local lenders recommended by redfin.com agents.
