Layoff history

February 12, 2025
Redfin cut 450 employees
450 laid off Location Seattle

Redfin announced 450 job cuts on February 12, 2025, its third round of layoffs in seven months, as the Seattle real estate platform restructured following a major partnership deal with Zillow. Under a new exclusive agreement, Zillow becomes the sole provider of multifamily rental listings on Redfin's platforms, with Redfin receiving $100 million in exchange. The affected positions primarily supported the rentals division. CEO Glenn Kelman said the deal would give visitors access to one of the largest and fastest-growing rental listing databases while freeing the company to concentrate on lending and title services. Restructuring costs were estimated at $18 to $21 million, though the Zillow announcement sent Redfin's stock up more than 11% on the day.

Reason: Restructuring following Zillow rentals partnership
