While this is Redfin’s first report on our environmental, social and governance commitments, we’ve always known that any company built to last has to contribute to a better world. |
Redfin’s main contribution has been the $saved our customers. |
We’ve also guided those customers to make sustainable choices about where to live, and worked to make housing more fair. |
Over the past two years, our employees have contributed more than $housing more affordable and accessible. |
We’re just as proud of how we’ve treated our employees. |
We’re the only major brokerage to employ our agents, paying for health insurance and other expenses; this is one reason that our agents are more diverse than the industry at large. |
Since we can’t ask our agents to put customers first if execs don’t put employees first, Redfin’s ratio of executive pay to median pay is among the lowest of any public company. |
Guiding Sustainable Choices on Where to Live Of the ways we can make the world at large better, our focus is on making housing more sustainable, affordable and accessible. |
Redfin has a special obligation to limit climate change, because we have so much influence over where people live. |
Redfin prepares a Walk Score and Transit Score for just about every home for sale in America, encouraging buyers to move to homes that require less driving. |
Encouraging Home Electrification We were one of the first major real estate sites to publish data about the climate-related risks of owning homes in areas that, as temperatures rise, may be more prone to flooding or wildfires. |
And we’ve been a thought leader on limiting housing’s contributions to greenhouse gasses, publishing essays on home electrification and the cost savings from solar panels; if your home is heated by fossil fuels, it can contribute more to global warming than your car. |
We can have an even larger impact on fair housing. |
The foundation of that commitment is the diversity of our workforce: as of December people of color, compared to an industry average of 23%; 9% were Black, compared to an industry average of 8%. |
We publish a report on the diversity of our workforce every year, and have based our executives’ bonuses in part on the diversity of our employees and our management. |
An Industry Leader in Diversity Over the past year, we’ve recruited more agents to serve low-priced homes, and become more systematic about how we assign customers to agents and also how we assign agents to neighborhoods. |
We believe a diverse workforce improves our service to communities of color. |
After all, homes are how families amass generational wealth; where we live determines which schools our children attend and often sets the boundaries of what seems possible to them. |
But our society is still far more segregated than we’d like and, just in the last few years, several studies have documented hundreds of cases of customers of color getting unequal service from brokers and lenders. |
Our commitment to making housing accessible and affordable is why we’ve been the only major iBuyer to sell every home we own ourselves on the open market, rather than sometimes facilitating private sales to institutional investors. |
Over the last three years, institutional investors have often competed at an advantage against aspiring homeowners in bidding wars, especially for entry-level homes. |
Avoiding Bias on Our Site Because we run an online marketplace that can affect which homes sell and for how much, we’ve also been careful to avoid perpetuating biases that limit the value of homes in predominantly Black neighborhoods. |
Our machine-learning software for recommending listings and pricing homes has not consumed demographic data about the race, age or income of the people living in that neighborhood. |
In on Redfin.com because in some cases we believed it reflected neighborhood differences in policing rather than in actual crime; a rival website then came to the same conclusion that we did. |

We’ve also published a home-buying guide in Spanish, and integrated access to down-payment-assistance programs throughout Redfin.com. |
There’s still plenty to do, and every commitment we make to a better world has to be balanced against our drive to become profitable. |
But our efforts so far have been sustained and effective, because our founding conviction is that the best way to make money over time is to be a force for good. |

In assessment to identify the ESG issues that are most relevant to our business and most impactful to our investors, employees and customers. |
