Redfin is somewhat different but its still an actual brokerage. You have independent contractors (showing agents) and you have salaried real estate agents. It is a great starting experience.

Being an agent is all about lead generation, and Redfin takes care of that because they generate a shit ton of leads. But they take a big cut for that. For some, that works. I totally get having piece of mind of a steady paycheck, healthcare, etc. Reply reply. Redfin and Zillow both pull directly from the MLS, so a layperson will have access to the same recently sold comps as someone with MLS access.
