A Redfin Reality Show?
By Joel Burslem, Monday, April 2, 2007.Bookmarking Sites
Reality show producers Screaming Flea Productions are looking for Seattle-based entrepreneurs to follow for an upcoming television show. John Cook at the Seattle PI reveals that they are already in discussions with Redfin's CEO Glenn Kelman.
This reminds me a lot of the 2001 documentary Startup.com, which chronicled the implosion of the site govWorks.com (which, among other things, wanted to let you pay your parking tickets online). If you haven't seen it, add it to your Netflix queue - Startup.com is a fascinating look behind madness that drove the first dotcom boom.
Personally, I'd love to see this new show follow a real estate startup - it would show a different side of the industry and provide welcome relief from all those Fix and Flip shows that saturate cable TV now.
Some other Seattle based real estate startups for them to consider; how about Rich Barton from Zillow.com or Matt Heaton from ActiveRain?

Sounds like a neat concept, and I think a show on the ActiveRain startup experience would be an excellent draw. That site seems to have exploded the past several months and continues to evolve every day.
