Redfin Adds New, Last Minute Bidding Notice Feature

Seattle-based Redfin said Monday that it has rolled out a brand new feature, which it calls "Last Call"--letting real estate agents let potential buyers quickly act on a home when an offer is received. Redfin said the new feature is aimed at preventing "homebuyer heartache"--which happens when people are considering a home, but aren't aware that an offer has been made on a property. Redfin says the new feature lets agents contact anyone who has added the home to their favorites or who have viewed the property on Redfin.com or on the Redfin Real Estate app, as a last chance to bid on home.
