Business Need – Redfin, a Seattle-based online real estate brokerage, uses technology to empower consumers by providing information that would usually come through an agent, including past sales, property outlines, neighborhoods, price changes, and relevant blogs. In their continuous goal to provide relevant information, Redfin wanted to upgrade to include School Information and Ratings content.

Solutions – Redfin originally chose Onboard to supply School Information and ratings as well as a consumer interface for narrowing down the data. As the project progressed, Redfin added Onboard Neighborhood Boundaries and Neighborhood Information to their site, making it even more useful and attractive to consumers. “Onboard’s sales and account management people have been great, responding within 24 hours or less,” said Bryan Selner, Director of Account Management.”

Results – Redfin experienced a quick return on investment that eliminated the hassle of using other content sources. “We were able to get it up and running in a few weeks, which is a great turnaround time, considering how time consuming it is to acquire and integrate many local, distinct data sources,” Selner said.
