Redfin is a technology-powered real estate company that helps people buy, sell, and rent homes in the United States, offering brokerage, iBuying, rentals, lending, title insurance, and renovations. It combines online tools and an agent network to streamline transactions: sellers list with lower commissions, buyers use online search and data, and Redfin may purchase homes directly through iBuying, while it bundles services in one ecosystem. Unlike traditional brokerages that rely on third-party partners and high commissions, Redfin provides lower seller fees and in-house services across the entire transaction. Its goal is to make real estate transactions faster, cheaper, and more transparent through technology and a broad service set in the U.S.

↑ 0%Zillow and Redfin are launching programs to publicly display pre-market listings on their platforms. Zillow's Preview program, starting in April, will allow agents at participating brokerages including Keller Williams, RE/MAX and HomeServices of America to publicly market listings before they become active. These listings will receive priority placement in search results and must include at least one photo, price, full address and property specifications. Redfin launched a similar program on 16 March, partnering with Rocket Companies and Compass International Holdings to exclusively display "coming soon" listings from Compass and Redfin agents. The programme prioritises participating listings in search results. Both initiatives aim to increase inventory visibility and reduce barriers in the homebuying process, addressing criticism over pre-market listings being confined to closed systems.
Redfin, the real estate brokerage unit of Rocket Companies Inc., has launched a ChatGPT app allowing users to search for homes and access market data through conversational AI. The application enables users to ask specific questions about properties, budgets, neighbourhood information, commute times and price trends through natural conversation. The ChatGPT integration builds on Redfin's previous AI initiatives, including conversational search capabilities introduced to its website in November 2023 and later expanded to its iOS app. The company claims to be the only brokerage offering ongoing conversational search directly within its platforms' search bars. Rocket Companies gained 36 hedge fund holders during the fourth quarter of 2025, making it one of 15 stocks with the biggest hedge fund momentum.
Compass International Holdings has struck a three-year partnership to syndicate its exclusive off-MLS listings on Redfin. The deal will bring Compass' "Coming Soon" listings to the platform immediately, with "Private Exclusive" listings to follow. The agreement, announced one month after Compass closed its acquisition of Anywhere Real Estate, could add 500,000 additional listings to Redfin from Compass and its subsidiaries, including Corcoran, Century 21, Coldwell Banker and Sotheby's International Realty. Listings displayed on Redfin will not show days on market or price drop history. Leads generated through Redfin will be directed to Compass agents. The partnership follows longtime Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman's departure six months after Rocket Companies acquired Redfin for $1.75 billion in July.
Redfin extends ai-powered home search into ChatGPT. New integration allows consumers to explore Redfin listings, neighborhoods and market insights through natural conversation. Redfin has announced the launch of a new app within the AI platform ChatGPT, which offers consumers a way to access its listings and explore neighborhood information, data and market insights using conversational language. Redfin explains that through its app in ChatGPT, users can ask specific housing questions and refine their search over time without repeatedly entering filters or criteria. For example, a prospective home buyer can ask about homes within a certain budget in a specific city, then follow up with questions about neighborhoods, commute times, school districts or recent price trends, all through natural dialogue. "This launch of a Redfin app in ChatGPT is our way of making home search easier and better as more people use AI platforms to get important information," says Ariel Dos Santos, Redfin senior vice president of Product and Design. "We believe this additional entry point into our listings and data will make home searchers' lives easier, and the experience aligns with our goal of making home search less about filters and more conversational." The integration builds on Redfin's broader strategy to make home search feel more natural across its platforms, a release noted. In November, Redfin introduced conversational search on Redfin.com, allowing users to ask questions in plain language rather than relying solely on traditional filters. That capability is now also available on Redfin's iOS app. Redfin enables an ongoing, back-and-fourth conversation directly within the search bars on its website and mobile app, which is designed to make it easier for users to adjust criteria as needed.

The launch builds on Redfin's November introduction of conversational search on Redfin.com and its iOS app, making it the only brokerage offering ongoing, back-and-forth conversation within search bars. The ChatGPT app is available to web and iOS users through the platform's apps menu. Redfin, now part of Rocket Companies, also offers AI-powered tools including real-time home valuations through Redfin Estimate and Ask Redfin for market insights.
