Has anyone heard of Redfin.com?

I constantly getting emails from Redfin. com seeking to get my company highlighted on their blog page.

I assume that this person is most likely a fraudster or someone attempting to deceive me into paying for an advertisement.

Yes, they reached out to me saying.

I hope this email finds you well! My name is Sarah, and I’m a Content Marketing Coordinator at Redfin. I’m currently working on an article about all-natural cleaning products for spring cleaning, and I would love to collaborate with you to share your expertise with our readers.

If you decide to participate, Redfin will feature your response in the upcoming article, “Get a Sparkling Home this Spring with All-Natural Cleaning Products and Recipes, Plus Eco-Friendly Methods,” along with a link to your website. I’m looking for a short, 2-3 sentence quote about any all-natural cleaning tip, method, formula, or DIY recipe you’d like to share with our readers. This could be anything from homemade eco-friendly cleaners to clever, all-natural ways to clean your home this spring.

In exchange for participating, we ask that you post the article on your blog, press page, or homepage, link to it from another resource page, or post it on your website. Sharing the article on your social media is also great.

I own a house cleaning business.

It’s great that you’re being vigilant about the emails you’re receiving.

Redfin is known for its real estate blog, which offers a variety of tips and insights, and they do have a marketing platform that allows real estate agents to create materials to promote their services.

This could potentially include opportunities to be featured on their blog.

However, if the emails you’re getting are asking for payment to be featured, it’s important to exercise caution.

Here’s what you can do to ensure you’re not dealing with a scam:

  • Verify the sender’s email address to make sure it matches the official Redfin domain.
  • Genuine communications from Redfin should be professional and informative about their services.
  • It’s a good idea to contact Redfin directly through their official channels to check if the offer is real.
  • Be skeptical of any requests for payment in exchange for being featured, as this isn’t typically how Redfin operates.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts and don’t proceed until you’ve confirmed everything is legitimate.

Always prioritize the security of your personal and company information.

Yeah, we’ve got a house cleaning business too. They contacted us a few months back. Normally, we brush off these things, but this one’s legit.
If you give them tips, they’ll link to your site in a blog post. It’s good for SEO. Their article wasn’t the best, to be honest, but oh well!
