Low-down-payment mortgage loans aren’t the root of all economic evil. In fact, they can do a lot of good — giving people access to homeownership, for example. That’s why some people in Washington are making it easier for you to buy a house with only 3 percent down.

Lorraine Woellert says she was a Redfin evangelist long before she ever thought of working here. “It wasn’t just the terrific app and all the cool stuff I could get on the website. What sold me was the Redfin mission to make home buying and selling better for people like you and me.”

People in Nashville and Memphis can now work with local Redfin agents and can use the Redfin online and mobile tools to search for every home on the market.

Redfin brings its real estate brokerage to Southwest Florida, including Fort Myers and Naples.
