The problem it solves

Watching Redfin for new listings that match your criteria means refreshing the site over and over, and you still might miss one before someone else does. Manually copying price, address, and details into a spreadsheet is slow and error-prone.

Who it fits

Real estate agents, investors, or analysts tracking property listings for leads or market research.

How it works

  1. The system checks Redfin every 6 hours
  2. Listing details like price, address, beds, and baths are pulled
  3. Only valid listings with real addresses and prices are kept
  4. New listings go into a Google Sheet
  5. Your team gets a Slack message when new listings are added
What you get

New listings you spot before competitors do

You get a running spreadsheet of fresh Redfin listings with price, address, and details, updated automatically every few hours.

What you get

An up-to-date spreadsheet of Redfin listings and a Slack alert when new ones appear.

What you need

A ScrapeOps account, a Google account, and a Slack workspace.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
