We’re pleased to announce Joe Rath is our new director of industry relations! In his new role, Joe will build Redfin’s relationships with multiple listing services, associations, brokerages and other industry partners across North America. He’ll coordinate Redfin’s network of brokers and agents to advocate for local, state and national policies that advance industry innovation, foster a fair and transparent real estate marketplace, ensure equitable data access and attribution, and benefit agents and consumers. 
Joe brings significant industry experience as an Realtor, state broker and regional director at Redfin. He has served on several volunteer boards and committees, including ACAR (Akron-Cleveland Association of Realtors) and the NAR (National Association of Realtors). Joe started at Redfin in 2014 when he launched the brokerage in the Cleveland and Columbus markets. Since then, he’s helped grow the business as a director of real estate operations overseeing numerous markets, including Chicago, Miami, Nashville, Toronto and Vancouver. Prior to joining Redfin, Joe was a Realtor and broker with ERA.
“Joe comes from a real estate family and understands the day-to-day challenges that brokers and agents face and the complicated dynamics of this industry,” said Jason Aleem, Redfin’s senior vice president of real estate sales. “He’s a clear communicator, effective relationship builder and strategic leader who will be a strong advocate for policies that improve the agent experience and help us all better serve our clients.”
“As a second-generation broker, I owe everything to the real estate industry. I’m so excited to partner with other passionate industry changemakers across brokerages, associations and MLSs to advocate for agents and our customers,” said Joe.
