Glenn Kelman Biography
Glenn Kelman is a technology entrepreneur and a prominent figure in the American real estate industry. Before joining Redfin, Kelman co-founded Plumtree Software, a publicly traded company that contributed to the development of the enterprise portal software market. During his seven years at Plumtree, he held leadership roles in engineering, marketing, product management, and business development, and managed financing and operations in the company's early stages. Earlier in his career, Kelman was among the first employees at Stanford Technology Group, a startup later acquired by IBM.
Kelman has led Redfin since shortly after its founding. Redfin introduced a map-based search engine aimed at lowering fees and modernizing the real estate brokerage model. The company’s hybrid business model, which integrates technology with human expertise, challenged traditional brokerage practices. Under Kelman’s leadership, Redfin grew into a widely recognized technology-powered real estate brokerage, saving consumers significant amounts in fees.
Kelman has been a vocal presence in the real estate sector, appearing on "60 Minutes" as a CEO advocating for industry change. He has testified before Congress on commission reform and made headlines for pulling Redfin out of the National Association of Realtors. Kelman is known for his candid communication style, including during earnings calls where he addresses key issues in housing and real estate technology.
After Redfin became part of Rocket Companies, Kelman stepped down from his role as CEO. He subsequently joined Greylock as an executive in residence, advising founders on leadership, company building, and go-to-market strategy. Kelman has expressed interest in pursuing new opportunities in mission-driven enterprises beyond real estate, continuing his involvement in technology and business leadership.
