Redfin vs. Realtor.com’s Allan Dalton
Trulia’s rogue video-blogger Sean Black was able to capture some of the now infamous Inman Connect debate between Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman and Realtor.com’s Allan Dalton, and we thought we’d share it with you.
Allan gives Glenn a run for his money on stage at Inman Connect in NYC. In typical Dalton fashion, Allan gives Glenn the old one two punch while Brad (Inman) tries to hold him back. Allan landed a few good ones right on the chin, but Glenn held his own.
There’s been some great coverage of Inman’s Real Estate Connect in NYC, live from the conference:

Inman’s coverage of the Redfin v Realtor.com debate
Glenn Kelman posts his debate redux on the Redfin blog
Kevin from 3 Oceans covered the panel, complete with his predictions of what Dalton would say (and we agree, two out of three aint bad at all)

Hi guys. Nice love fest!
I thought Dalton did a disservice to the brokers in the room by pandering to their fears of the internet and technology.
Instead of going for the nervous applause by going for cheap and inaccurate mischaracterizations of the Red Fin model, Dalton could have assisted the brokers in understanding how to cope with the obvious changes in the market.
Red Fin brokers are call center reps supported by technology. Brokers should aim to be professionals, supported by technology. The differentiation needs to be perceptible to the end users, or the brokers will have difficulty maintaining their pricing.
Tools like Trulia and US Condo Exchange which provide efficient platforms for the brokers to gain exposure need to be differentiated from discount brokers and other businesses focussed on taking business away from the traditional broker community.
It is highly unrealistic for the brokerage community not to expect technology to spawn new ideas and efficiencies. The question is not how to denigrate these advances, but how to leverage the change to better serve the customers, thus cementing the brokers place in the puzzle and justifying the existing margins.
All the best,
jh
