AUSTIN, TX – April 24, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — Redfin, the technology-powered real estate broker, today launched its direct service for Austin home-buyers and sellers, delivered by its own Austin-based agents. When Redfin first introduced its website and mobile tools to Austin in October 2010, the company referred online visitors to Austin real estate agents working for other brokers. Redfin waited to add its own full-time agents until its website had enough traffic to support both Redfin agents and partners.
