History
Redfin was founded in 2004 by David Eraker, Michael Dougherty, and David Selinger. Eraker had dropped out of medical school at the University of Washington for a career in software design, and Dougherty received degrees in electrical engineering and international studies from Yale University.[1][2] David Selinger, an alumnus of Stanford University who had previously led the research and development arm of Amazon's data mining and personalization team, joined Redfin as the third founder and CTO. Selinger helped build Redfin's mapping and real estate data analytics engine.[3]
Redfin launched a map-based real estate search site in Seattle in 2004.
