FWIW, as a software engineer, this type of vague, grandiose marketing language makes me think less of Redfin as a company. It definitely makes me think that me, and most of the talented people I know, wouldn't enjoy working there. If you really want to boost Redfin's reputation, I'd recommend following some advice from the YC application guide: "The best answers are the most matter of fact. It’s a mistake to use marketing-speak to make your idea sound more exciting. We’re immune to marketing-speak; to us it’s just noise. So don’t begin your answer with something like We are going to transform the relationship between individuals and information. That sounds impressive, but it conveys nothing. It could be a description of any technology company. Are you going to build a search engine? Database software? A router? I have no idea. (...) The best answers are the most specific. A surprising number of people answer with something like: Jordan is an exceptionally dedicated person who gives 100% effort to every project he undertakes. This kind of generic claim carries no weight. A single, specific example would be much more convincing." (https://www.ycombinator.com/howtoapply/ https://www.ycombinator.com/howtoapply/)
