When asked for comment, Redfin's media office sent a link to a blog post by the firm's CEO, Glenn Kelman. "For our entire history, at Congressional hearings, in press appearances, in sensationalized debates, and in public and private industry meetings, we've campaigned tirelessly for lower fees, commission transparency, and broader consumer access to real estate listings," Kelman wrote. Shortly before the Kansas City trial, Redfin withdrew from the National Association of Realtors, over both the commission issue and the swirling sexual harassment scandal at the NAR. Redfin, Kelman wrote, "has been on the right side of history."
