Varun

Hey, what's up, Redfin team? I'm here with the man, the myth, the legend. Glenn Kelman. Hi. We're hanging out in Detroit. Team, this summer has started off with a bang, and we're knee deep in integration planning. I wanted to say one thing. I has gotten to know the Redfin team and spent some time in Seattle, and I'm just so impressed with the talent with the energy, with the competitive spirit and the culture.

00:00:23:16 - 00:00:33:20

Varun

And we've been working super hard. We've got a lot of progress and we've got more progress to make, and we're speeding toward our closing date. Glenn, what are your thoughts on how the integration is going so far?

00:00:34:01 - 00:00:54:16

Glenn

Right back at you; Redfin has been blown away by the Rocket team. We've got to get as many of you out to Detroit as we possibly can, because seeing this place is a religious experience. What Rocket has done for the town of Detroit, how Rocket operates, it is at another level. So we are really excited about the integration.

00:00:54:18 - 00:01:10:04

Glenn

We're on track early in the summer. We are going to close this baby down and then we can really start working together, sharing sales opportunities between the two organizations, sharing technology best practices, working as one. It's going to be so much fun.

00:01:10:04 - 00:01:26:14

Varun

It's awesome, I can't wait. Well, one thing I do want to say is over the past couple of weeks especially, I don't know, I already was a daily active user of Redfin in my app usage right now. We got to ask Bridget to track the analytics, but I think I'm coming up day over day. But the new app design is fire. It’s fire.

00:01:26:14 - 00:01:43:01

Varun

I think it is. It is beautiful. And I will say this just as a product person, I am now incredibly biased. But we do have the best product. And I think when you take the Redfin app, you connect it with Rocket’s financing engine, Mr. Cooper servicing. You put all of that together. We're going to create something special.

00:01:43:06 - 00:01:44:19

Glenn

An amazing homeownership platform.

00:01:44:19 - 00:02:01:16

Varun

That's right, that's right. So team, we're going to keep providing updates to you as we go. You know we're speeding toward a closing date early in the summer. And please give us your feedback if you like content like this. We'll keep producing it. Awesome. All right, all right. Great summer, everyone. Take it easy, guys. Take care.
