Both redfin and Opendoor go through licensed brokers in each state so is agree with what you posit.

oops, I realize now that with the way I wrote that post, it reads (inaccurately and unintentionally) to mean that they go through a 3rd party, rather than my intent that one way or another a broker licence is involved.

Redfin itself has a licensed brokerage sub company in many states.
