Diversity at Redfin
We're proud that Redfin is a place where different points of view are encouraged and respected. At the same time, we recognize that meaningful change requires ongoing analysis and action. We're cultivating greater inclusion and diversity with employee-led initiatives across the company.
The Redfin Diversity Council
This council makes our commitment to diversity and inclusion more visible and concrete for employees. They help drive efforts to foster a culture of inclusion, to recruit and promote the broadest range of candidates, and to ensure that diversity and inclusion are central to our customer experience.
Training on Unconscious Bias
All Redfin employees complete an unconscious bias training. This training identifies common biases and stereotypes that can influence hiring decisions and customer interactions, and provides strategies to mitigate them.

"Diversity and inclusion are honorable efforts to take on in themselves and, if done well, they also serve as a huge strategic advantage."
Jason Aleem
Chief of Real Estate Operations
Awesome people
"I often think about how fortunate I am to have lived most of my professional life authentically, without fear, and well-supported by colleagues and leadership. It's now my responsibility to help create that same culture for others and, while there's still much to do, I'm proud of the progress we've achieved."

"Technology is continuing to change our society and our culture. Women need to be a driving force behind these changes. If you’re interested in technology, please don’t let the gender imbalance alone keep you away from the field. There’s just too much at stake."

Diversity in Tech
We're committed to hiring candidates and interns from nontraditional sources, and holding managers accountable for inclusive culture within their teams. As we make progress on these initiatives in our product and engineering teams, we'll extend what we learn across the company.
Women in Tech
We've worked hard to recruit more women in research and development (R&D), a department which includes software developers, product managers, operations engineers, and quality assurance engineers. The appointment of Bridget Frey as Chief Technical Officer in 2015 served as a major impetus for change. Today, R&D is more than 30% women.
A passionate group of employees founded our Women in Tech group, with a focus on developing and retaining women at Redfin. Women in Tech empowers employees to lead events and discussions that help make Redfin a more inclusive place to work. Hear Bridget Frey's keynote about the advantages of diversity at the Women@Work conference.

Recruiting Underrepresented Minorities
We're building a strong recruiting pipeline with organizations and coding academies that focus on underrepresented minorities, including women, Latinx, Black, and LGBTQ individuals.
- Organizations:Grace Hopper, Out for Undergrad, Code2040
- Coding Academies:Ada Developers Academy, Hackbright, Techtonica
- Schools:We recruit at many Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and women's colleges.
LGBTQ
In addition to sponsoring participation in pride parades, we partner with Out for Undergrad Tech, a nonprofit organization that helps LGBTQ undergraduate students reach their full potential via industry-focused conferences. Redfin sends LGBTQ-identified employees each year to mentor students on career growth and opportunity.
Consumer Resources
As a technology-powered real estate company, we rely on the accuracy of our data to give our customers a competitive advantage. Data can also provide an interesting counterpoint to bias. The insights from our data science team inform many of the stories on our blog and help raise awareness about issues like affordable housing, race gaps in homeownership, and racial bias in home valuation. Our CEO, Glenn Kelmann, has also spoken out about racial inequality in housing.
