Redfin's business model of showing homes to clients then offering rebates, creates a situation where any unqualified buyer can call to see a listing, then just not show up. As a listing agent, my clients have been burned MANY times by Redfin agents making appointments, then just not showing, or their "customers" not showing, because they have no relationship with them. They need to appreciate that with a listing that is occupied, the sellers often go through a lot of hassle to prep for an appointment then leave the property. This gives the entire industry a bad rep.
