Redfin will continue to receive Zillow’s multifamily listings and payments for leads through at least 2030 while building its own rentals advertising business

SEATTLE, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Redfin, part of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), today announced a resolution with the Federal Trade Commission and five states. The litigation concerns a multifamily rental listing syndication agreement Redfin entered into with Zillow in February 2025. The agreement predates Rocket’s acquisition of Redfin. The proposed order, which is subject to court approval, is a major victory for Redfin, renters and the housing providers who serve them.

The syndication partnership between Redfin and Zillow remains in place through at least 2030. Redfin will continue to receive the multifamily listings provided by Zillow, and Zillow will continue to pay Redfin for renter leads generated through Redfin’s sites. Redfin will also retain the $100 million it received under the original agreement.  Renters searching on Redfin, Rent.com and ApartmentGuide.com will continue to have access to the multifamily inventory available through the partnership.

The resolution also removes restrictions on Redfin’s ability to compete directly with Zillow for multifamily advertising customers, build its own relationships with housing providers and generate leads through its own offering.

“This is a massive win for Redfin,” said Aaron Emerson, Chief Communications Officer for Rocket Companies. “We keep the listings, leads and economics that make this business work today, and we gain the ability to compete directly for multifamily advertisers.  For millions of people, renting is the first step toward homeownership and helping them move from a first apartment to a first home is exactly what we’re built to do.”

About Redfin 

Redfin is a technology-driven real estate company with the country’s most-visited real estate brokerage website. As part of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), Redfin is creating an integrated homeownership platform from search to close to make the dream of homeownership more affordable and accessible for everyone. Redfin’s clients can see homes first with on-demand tours, easily apply for a home loan with Rocket Mortgage, and save thousands in fees while working with a top local agent.

SYDNEY, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As AI exponentially increases the volume of code generated by mid-sized technology teams, Saigon Technology, an AI-native software engineering partner, is deploying its integrated delivery system to solve the industry’s emerging scaling bottleneck. While engineers can now prototype features, write tests, and automate repetitive work faster than ever, many companies find their existing infrastructures struggling to keep pace with the accelerated output.

For Saigon Technology, the question is no longer simply how much more code AI can help a team produce, but whether the surrounding engineering framework can successfully scale to turn that capacity into reliable, production-ready software.

More Coding Capacity Does Not Mean More Engineering Capacity

AI coding assistants can increase development output, but engineering goes far beyond writing code. It also requires architecture, security, testing, infrastructure, reliability, integration, and production operations. AI can accelerate these tasks, but it does not automatically create the systems and standards needed to connect them.

Consider two approaches: Company A, with 10 engineers using AI coding assistants, and Company B, with AI embedded in an integrated engineering system covering reusable components, automated QA, DevOps, security, and architecture practices.

“Company A may produce more code as AI becomes embedded across its workflow. The software may still work well. But as output scales, there can also be more code to review, integrate, secure, test, and maintain,” said Phong Le, AI Tech Lead at Saigon Technology. “The issue is therefore whether the engineering system can turn additional coding capacity into scalable delivery.”

A Lesson From The Digital Transformation Era

The pattern is familiar with earlier technology shifts.

Cloud platforms, automation, and digital systems created significant new capabilities. But without supporting processes, governance, and operating models, organizations could also end up with fragmented systems, duplicated capabilities, and greater complexity.

AI-assisted development may create a similar challenge inside software engineering.

Why an AI-Native Engineering System Matters

This is where Saigon Technology’s AI-native engineering system comes in. The model is connecting engineers and AI with the systems required to deliver software across the full lifecycle.

That includes:

AI-assisted development: accelerating implementation and repetitive technical workReusable components and patterns: reducing duplicated effort and improving consistencyAutomated QA and testing: validating a larger volume of AI-assisted outputDevOps and CI/CD: keeping higher development velocity manageable in deliverySecurity and architecture practices: maintaining consistency across AI-assisted decisionsCloud and production operations: supporting software beyond development

The value is the combination of people, AI, engineering standards, automation, and accumulated delivery experience working as one system.

What This Means for Established Technology Teams

A company may already have a capable CTO and engineering organization. The challenge may instead be balancing modernization with new product development, expanding an AI initiative while maintaining core platforms, or increasing delivery volume without growing the internal organization at the same pace.

In these situations, an external engineering partner can add more than developers. It can bring an established delivery system that complements the capabilities already inside the business.

This is the model Saigon Technology is applying as AI reshapes software delivery: using AI to expand coding capacity while connecting that capacity to the engineering practices required for reliable, scalable production delivery.

With 14+ years of software engineering experience, 400+ engineers, and 850+ projects delivered across industries, Saigon Technology is applying its AI-native engineering approach to help established technology teams expand what they can deliver without rebuilding their engineering operation from the ground up.
